    Help with error codes

    2014 Model S P85D I’ve got a strange issue where the cabin temperature whether in auto or manual will suddenly switch from cooling to heating on any temp setting except low. Meaning if it’s 90° outside and I have the interior temp set at 67° all of a sudden my car will start heating full blast...

    Help diagnosing poor AC performance

    It’s getting hot here in interior California and I’ve been noticing my Dec 2016 Model S is not coping particularly well. It’s been north of 100 degrees the past week and I’m noticing relatively poor AC performance, along with fairly regular errors stating “cabin AC temporarily reduced, vehicle...

    AC Blowing Hot Air

    Hi Everyone I have been having problems with the AC since few days now. It has been fixed for a sensor problem last year but not sure if it is the same problem coming again. Unfortunately, my MS2020 went out of warranty only few weeks ago 😪 The AC suddenly and after a recent system update...

    A/C only works in Park. Hot smelly air when driving

    I have a 2016 Tesla Model X and for the past few weeks my A/C only works if the car is in park. When the car is in drive, it blows hot air that smells like dirty laundry. In park it blows cold A/C air. It has consistently followed this pattern. There have been software updates since it started...

    Thermal test in new SW update

    My 2016 X just got update yesterday, 2023.12.5 and There are some new features in the service mode. One of these is a thermal test and it might explain some of what I have recently been experiencing, high power usage (460+) on the highway even when not towing. I will try to add the screenshots...

    Model S AC Sensor Calibration

    Over the last few years I’ve found that I’ve had to set the interior temperature lower and lower in order to keep my AC’s fan blowing in the Auto mode. I currently need to set the control to 64 degrees in order to maintain 72 degrees inside the car. If I set it above 64 degrees it blows cold...

    Noisy fan behind dash panel cover/front cabin temp sensor

    Had a humming buzz sound appear recently. Located it to be coming from behind the little panel above the wireless charging dock under the front display. 23k miles is there anything I can do to make this go away or do I just need to replace the part ? Would Tesla do it under warranty ? Fan makes...

    Climate Control Issue Model S 2017 100D

    Any idea ow to fix the cabin sensor reading higher temperature than the actual temperature? I cannot get my car blow hot air on AUTO setting since it thinks it is already hot inside even though it is cold. Service center said that it is normal. I have to take my car off from AUTO and turn off...

    Auto = Awful, a Climate Complant

    When I purchased my M3 two years ago, the climate controls were the bee's knees. Being able to start both heating and cooling from the phone and having the interior temperature heat or cool so quickly meant never getting into an oven or icebox again. Fast-forward two years and it's all hogwash...

    Model S60 AC Intermittent and Making Noise

    Last summer during a really hot day (40+C), my AC just stopped working, which was quite scary because we had to get our 5 week old baby home asap before the car got too hot. According to the teslafi log, it got up to 36C inside. Later that day I hopped in my car and it worked just fine and we...

The interior temperature shows as high as 37C/99F immediate after car wake up, where the ambient temperature is 12C/54F. The...

    Pro Tip: Setting the climate 71F or lower uses less energy in hot weather

    With hot Summer weather approaching, I thought to point out that setting the climate above 71F consumes about double the amount of energy. Intuitively, the thinking is setting the climate warmer means the a/c runs less often. The reality is that in Teslas, it creates heat to get the air to the...

    How good is YOUR Climate Control - Temperature Consistency

    Okay, I spent a while scouring for some information and haven't found any threads on this. I have had a temperature regulation issue and I am trying to decide if I just need to live with it or keep pushing Tesla Service on this. It mainly seems to occur in the first 10-20 minutes of a drive. I...
