Greetings all. Have a 2017 S 75D with ~185k on the clock. Very pleased with the car but running into systemic AC issues - specifically compressor (part number 1063369-00-J) failures - see my prior post on the subject for more info. What's currently happening: AC compressor is becoming louder...

HVAC Auto seems to keep my fan speed at 9 seemingly forever. My car is in a climate control garage at 23*C ambient, and turning on AC Auto has the fan blasting at 9 regardless if target temperature is 16C or 23C or anything in between. This morning's commute it stayed like that for the entire...

Hi, My model Y AC stopped working when I’m driving long trip, I’m driving on highway with 104 degrees interior temperature today, and feel like dying. Also my heat point is activated the whole time, making loud noises the whole day time. The earliest appointment available is 17th, have anyone...

Working on getting #803 into shape. I have finally sourced a replacement HVAC condenser (if anyone needs one, will be posting pictures of the newly fabricated one). No SC nearby so need to take it to a regular HVAC shop. I haven't found a comprehensive guide here for the procedure to replace...

What would be nice to have in the user interface: User choice buttons: More than four (can replace the last used one with one or two more user choices). Headlights: When in automatic mode, turn on when wipers are on (or user settable option). Voice command to turn them on, off, or automatic...

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...

With spring arriving in the Midwest and the warmer temperatures, I've noticed that my 2018 Model 3 is experiencing issues keeping the cabin cool over a few drives in the last 3 weeks. During the past two summers I've kept the AC around 70-72F in the summer with no issues. This year I'm having...

I am not sure exactly to what degree my problems are malfunctions or features so I have to describe it all. AC set on AUTO only turns the vents up (windshield) no matter the temp - LO all the way to HI. When I switch to manual control it seems that it works as intended. Then it gets annoying...

Hi. I still can’t do it. Couple of months in. Has anyone managed to get air blowing directly onto their face (driver side)? If so, could you please show me your airflow graphic. It’s crap. Far worse than the model 3. Many thanks

Hi all My Climate Control has gone AWOL. Was blowing cold air no matter what the temp was set to, even on full blast heat! Went into the SC for 2 days, sensor change out apparently. Few days after that, we’re back to cold/tepid air at best. I’ve literally just set it to 26 degrees there and...

How do I get air to blow in my face. Quite a warm day in the UK today and wanted the cool air blowing on my face but after playing for the nearly 2 hour drive, I couldn’t get it any higher thank my waist / knees. Not normally and issue but just felt warm today and would have liked the air. Think...

Was reading previous threads about VCFRONT climate errors and most have occurred in cold climates. That's not the case here as temps have been in the 50's (F). Have had the car for a whole 3 days. Already submitted for a service appointment for an interior trim issue and just realized the app...

Okay, so I'm an eco nerd and hate the impact that driving in the winter has. I've had my Model 3 through 4 winters now and just today (with the help of the Scan My Tesla app) did I discover that you can go manual temperature control, split the HVAC for left/right controls, set the passenger side...

Is there a dedicated voice command that will only turn off the a/c condenser, but leave the fan running? I typically do this in other cars a couple miles before reaching home so the vents dry out, to prevent the moldy smell. Right now I have to tap the temp, then push a/c.

Hello, Took delivery of brand new 2022 Model 3 RWD a few days ago. Noticed that when I have my climate on, my fan speed at 1, 2, or 3, and any temperature above 20 degrees Celsius, there seems to be a whistling/whining noise coming from the vents. This is regardless of whether or not my A/C is...

Hi, I am in a black tesla, and it is really cold outside, but the interior still gets really hot because it is black. Is there a way to just let the outside air come in through the filter and into the cabin, that is, just to get some fresh air in through the outside without turning on the ac...

So we had a pretty decent snow fall here in Eugene, OR about 2 or 3 weeks ago. First day of 30 degree weather I noticed my 2019 Model 3 LR AWD wouldn't pre-heat from the app, it would turn on for about a minute and then turn off, and when I tried to turn the climate back on I received a "Climate...

I just received my car so apologies if this is a stupid question. I also did a search and did find some matching posts but they kind of tapered off without any solution; so hoping to find a solution. A couple of days ago, I went to the app and set Scheduled departure at 6:30 am and turned...

I swear the HVAC button in the app looks different every time I look at it! Sometimes there is like a halo around it and it seems to be glowing although it is actually off. What does that mean? I think I get it after driving in cold weather and the battery is still warm but the car is actually...

I'd be interested to share my experiences with winter driving of my Model 3 in terms of using / not using A/C. My thoughts are: - Whenever climate is set to Auto, the Model 3 (almost) always turns on A/C. It's not just the blue button, it's the smell of the A/C-treated air, it's surely running...

Hi, I wanted to share feedback as i found this on a few places searching online and recently had the same issue. As i reported before i cracked my MYP windshield at around 2000 miles. This was replaced at a Tesla facility. A few days later i found the problem with climate control. 1. when on...

Sometimes the set temperature changes automatically when returning home and pulling into my driveway. I think it has happened on both auto and manual HVAC modes. I know that mirrors and suspension height can be location sensitive, but I didn’t think that climate control was. Also, while changing...

After front windshield replacement, two issues began to occur consistently 1. Interior temperature of the car is detected to be unreasonably high after overnight sleep. The interior temperature shows as high as 37C/99F immediate after car wake up, where the ambient temperature is 12C/54F. The...

Short version: I replaced the compressor in my 2014 Model S just two years ago. Service is telling me it has failed again and want to charge me $4000 for the full fix. Something feels off about all this, and so I'm seeking advice. Longer version: In 2019, I bought a used 2014 Model S85. I...

30 years ago, most houses had a thermostat with two settings: How LOW the room temperature will go before the HEATER kicks on. How HIGH the room temperature will go before the A/C kicks on. Yes, you set a temperature range. There were two slider adjustments to limit "how warm" and "how cool"...

Here's a new one for me. I had my MY windshield replaced this past Tuesday (OEM glass, 3rd party installer) and when I was driving to work on Wednesday morning the AC, which I always keep on "auto" at 68°, decided that it only wanted the air to come out of the windshield and foot vents. It...

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...

Hi, Is it normal that the drivers air vent doesn’t blow into the driver face? I’ve not been able to move the vent to achieve this thanks

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...

For a while (maybe since I got the car - I don't recall), I have noticed that the air doesn't blow very strongly in the centre position on the driver's side. On a hot day I can still be sweating away while my passenger is freezing with the air running at full blast. I can feel with my hand that...

I'm replacing two HVAC systems now before installing a solar panel + 4 Powerwall system in the fall. I've narrowed the compressor choices to Daikin Fit variable speed (2 ton + 2.5 ton) that will go on the existing ducted systems. Am I correct in assuming that these should be able to start & run...

Has anyone encountered this issue? All of this happens on auto mode, in single temp operation. All windows are tinted including the roof, and I have the mesh roof cover. When outside is 75-85F, setting AC to 70 makes me freezing in the car. However, if outside is 90F+ and car has been driven or...

About to have 3 Powerwalls installed. Can anyone recommend a compatible variable-speed HVAC system (compressor and furnace)?

As an imminent MY customer, I've been paying attention to the various threads about Heat pump problems. At the moment these are mostly stories of inoperative cabin heating/defrosting in extreme winter conditions. However, there are also older threads floating around about weak or occasionally...

Hi: I have been working on my Tesla a bit in the last couple months. I believe the Heater has not worked since I bought it used in August 2020. My blower fan was "chirping" for a while, then completely quit. I replaced blower fan from junkyard. Still didn't work. Found blown fuse in Blower Motor...

Took delivery of my Model 3 on Christmas eve. Minimal mileage since then. Drivers side camera is not working - Service appointment for 14th Jan, Car / phone recognition works erratically which is annoying. Card is needed to unlock the car when returning from shopping. Shouldn't it recognize my...

Model S, Extended Range, born on 5/2020. Delivered 6/2020. My Climate Control has stopped functioning properly. In addition, COLD air comes into the passenger footwell regardless of setting. If you turn off CC, there is a cold breeze blowing in around the feet of the passenger. This is after a...

Hi all, October Model Y build here with an AC and heat issue. If I put the car on LO or HI, both cool and heat works great. The minute I change it to 70, compressor starts cycling on off on off for about a minute and then fails. When this happens, heat and cool fail for the rest of the day, and...

I actually started noticing this last year around this time but it mostly went away during the summer months because the fan speeds were usually much higher. It's a high pitch, high frequency, "clicking" sound coming from the climate system. It's not a very loud sound, but very noticeable at fan...

Within the past couple of days, the HVAC in my 2020 Model S has been behaving funny (and poorly). Regardless of the fan settings, there's no more than a trickle of air coming through the vents. The air is definitely conditioned (it's cold and dry) but the volume of air is very low so it...

Im thinking this is a service call. Hoping a member can test to make sure its not how its supposed to function. This happens more apparently when the car is hot. so turning the thermostat all the way to low from a normal temperature will increase the fan and cooling. It will work fine for 3-5...

Friends, these questions are about Model 3 climate controls, specifically LR if that matters. It's usually not in Auto climate mode. I did RTFM. In fact, it has the best automobile Owners Manual I've ever seen. Q1. How to turn on air recirculation without heating or cooling (e.g. to filter out...

My car is parked in the sun in my parking lot and it is a warm day. I decided to check if my cabin overheat protection was working (I know it is set to 'on' in the car) so I opened the app. The app reported an interior temp of 117F, which concerned me because the COP is supposed to keep the...

Dear all, in my TMS'14 85 AC/Heat Blower started to make really irritating noises at low speeds. Bearings seem to wear off. I want to replace it myself, however, I don't know how complicated it can be. I know that blower is located behind the glove box in HVAC unit. First you need to remove the...

Hello everyone, I do have issues with the air conditioning, when I set it to automatic and a set point of 24 deg C (75), I’ll be fine for 20 – 30 minutes or more. Then I get hot air and the temperature in the car goes to 25 in the app. It’s really not comfy. I have to open the windows...

For a while, we’ve been fighting with efficiency loss on our Model 3, and one observation I made was that the rear rotors were quite hot after a drive even when only using regen. So we replaced the calipers and brake pads, and even changed a wheel bearing to attempt to identify and fix the...

Has anyone had this before and should I be worried? I got in my 2012 MS P85 vin P03XXX after work today and before I drove off I noticed the far left vent blew something on me, and had a piece stuck in it, they were about 1/2" long, 1/4" wide, and 1/16" thick. Then another piece an inch long...

A fellow Hungarian was tapping in to the computer the other day and found this: UI_solarData UI_solarElevationAngle: 56deg UI_solarAzimuthAngle: 126deg UI_solarAzimuthAngleCarRef: 48deg UI_isSunUp: YES He claims that the car uses this information and adjusts the vents accordingly (when using...

I’ve been having problems with initiating A/C in my model Y over the last several weeks. It typically just blows the fan and despite reset, toggling A/C, etc it will intermittently come on and cool. The service center checked it out and performed thermal testing and of course it was working as...
