I can't really find this being talked about anywhere, but with ICE cars, my attached garage always equalizes to ambient outside temperature +/- 10 degrees overnight.
Since taking delivery my Y, I've noticed that the garage now stays at 72 degrees F +/- 5 degrees, even as the outside temps dropped to high 40s.
The car is plugged in 24/7 and I haven't tried letting the car sit overnight unplugged. But does the car maintain a very specific temperature when plugged in? That would explain why the ambient temperature around the car stays almost fixed 24/7.
I've read hours and hours of threads since deciding to purchase the car but have never seen this being talked about. I'm just curious to understand how things work.
P.S. No sentry or cabin overheat protection. Car isn't locked though.
