Get a 12v heated blanket! :p https://www.amazon.com/Car-Cozy-Patented-Trillium-Worldwide/dp/B0000DYVN9/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1543853558&sr=8-3&keywords=12v+heated+blanket

Very unscientific test. - I have a LR AWD Model 3 currently running on the 18” Aero winter package. - Most mornings I do the same drive - first I drive my son to school, and then I head down to work. The drive from my son’s school to my office in downtown Toronto is apx. 17.6 km (just shy of 11...

Let's assume it is 40F outside and cabin temp is set 70F, would it be more efficient to use recirc with AC-on or fresh air with AC-off. I realize recirc with AC off would be most efficient, but the windows get foggy so recirc basically requires AC, at least if using for any extended amount of...

Is there a way to have the "Auto" setting for each section of climate control like in version 8 instead of Auto all?

I was able to capture a video of this faint clicking/rattling noise that I was hearing from the front glovebox area. It went away for the last week or so but it just came back today in the morning and I took out my phone and captured it. Its a faint clicking noise in the background... once the...

Before version 9, there was a setting to turn the Ionizer on or off. the text in the user manual said, "Ionizer: If on, the air ionizer freshens the air in the cabin." I cannot find such a control in the settings screen under version 9. I did a search through the latest manual and found no...

Obviously this is a personal choice, and everyone may have a different view, but now that the cold weather is starting to appear, and it will only be getting colder, just wondering what people have been setting their cabin temp (with the objective of minimizing range hit)? It may change when it...

I've got 14,400 miles on my 3, and the lifetime power usage meter has been slowly dropping, it was down to 225 Wh/mile recently. But now that I'm starting to use the heater, the power usage is going up, it was at 227 yesterday! And I already notice the difference, having the heat on in the car...

Afternoon is still warm enough to require AC. Next morning I keep forgetting and after about 10 minutes of driving I realize heater is on. It is around 62 degrees out which is lower than the 72 degree setting in the car. In that scenario I don't want heater! I want vent. Keep the car cool until...

Noticed that when AC is on "Auto" the vents on the back blow warm air (even when temp is set to 65*) Took it to Tesla Service and they told me this is "normal". When I set the AC to "Manual" the issue disappears. Anyone noticed similar behavior?

Other than the cards, there are several areas on the screen where you can swipe. As many people are aware, pressing "Navigation" and swiping down will quickly navigate you to home (unless you are already near home in which case it will navigate to your work address). Today I accidentally...

so is there any way to turn of the heater? i can’t find one. if the temperature selected is just a little bit warmer than the cabin, i see the red tinted air graphic, which i assume means the heater is powered up. The ac can be switched off in manual mode, but i can find no such option to...

ive had my car just over two weeks and am on a long trip, so I’m still getting used to how everything operates. But I was surprised when twice so far when I’ve returned to the car in hot weather that the cabin fans and AC were not operational. Normally when I would unlock the doors the fans and...

I'd like to spell out a couple different uses of fan only and implementation details. I'll need help on most of it and will try to update this OP with a moderator's help when it is well flushed out. 1. The easy one is fan only while driving. This just requires that Auto and AC be greyed out in...

OK, again, why do we not have a section or two of this board dedicated to issues across the entire model lines? Like "Software" or "Interior" or "Repairs", when I post to the Tesla, Inc. section of the board I feel like it should be related to hiring or stocks or PR. Anyway: Every car I have...

tl;dr: No matter the conditions, climate control starts at full speed on floor vents when started in auto mode or when started remotely from app. Excessive details: For the past two weeks (since July 18) I have had a consistent issue with my HVAC in auto mode and with remote pre-conditioning...

Hello, last week my 2016 model s 75 shut down and had to be towed to the dealership. The determined the HV battery needed to be replaced and so I received a remanufactured one. I'm concerned as it appears that the battery is older than than my current 2016 battery and so I'm wondering if this...

I'm still new to my Model 3. Sometimes I notice that the car is heating (red user interface for the HVAC) when I really just want low AC. If I set the temp to 74 and it's already 73 then it seems to want to turn on the heater to change that 1 degree. There should really be a software toggle for...

Run into a store, deliver stuff - would be so much easier than having press the app every time (which takes forever on my android phone to wake it up). When it's 115F, just one minute with no A/C really matters. Overtemp won't fix it, 105F is still toasty, but I have yet to get that upgrade...

Hi all, I'm normally a pretty patient guy and have typically glossed over the small issues on our X that everyone has (MCU Yellow border, body control module issues, paint and interior quality challenges, window and door alignment, FSD/EAP features, lack of AP for the first x months, etc.)...

In the article they focus on the HVAC, but really of much more import is the new dash design which what seems like a smaller offset cockpit LCD and also a smaller LCD above the console. Tesla files patent for new HVAC system

I have a 75D 5-seater Model X and I noticed that the AC in the back of the car does not blow much air and is very weak compared to the front seats. Since mine is a 5-seater, I do not have a "front" or "rear" option when controlling the AC's settings (as far as I know, this is because it has one...

For years we have been complaining that our A/C has been making way too much noise, especially the little thump that it makes when it cycles on and off, almost once a minute. So now the A/C has finally died. Tesla service wants $3400 to replace the compressor and a DC converter. I don't...

As someone with a leased Model S and a Model 3 reservation who needs to decide which car to choose soon, I'd like to know how well the Model 3 HVAC worked in winter, if there are any owners who live in the snow belt and got their Model 3s in time for a good test. I'd particularly like to hear...

I just wanted to take a second to really address the re-designed airflow/HVAC system in the Model 3 and share my thoughts on what seems to simply be of a point of interest for most rather than recognized for what it truly is: a marvel of ingenuity and design. The climate control in the Model 3...

My Model X was delivered in late December, 2017, so around 3 months ago. Since I have gotten it, the AC has occasionally made this loud grinding noise that goes on for a little less than a minute. I have noticed that it specially happens when I park under the heat for a few hours and open the AC...

hey does anyone know where is interior temperature sensor ? i mena sensor inside car

Anyone else having this issue? When I have the driver side vents set to one output on the screen and aim them to the top center, I still get a blast of air on my right knee coming from behind the steering wheel. I don't remember having it before I dropped it off for a couple unrelated fixes a...

Good Evening, I have been finding over the past few days that the temperature in my car changes without me doing anything. My wife is the only other one who has access, and she's assured me she's not pranking me. I had my suspicions for the past couple of days, but today I actually caught it...

I experienced this same problem over the last 2 mornings and want to see if anyone else have seen it, and what the solution may be to solve it. I always start my heater about 15 minute before driving off in the morning using the app. In the past 2 days, I noticed that the HVAC would turn on...

I figured I would share some of my tips for increasing range in winter (for longer trips). We have an MX 60D, best car ever, do a ton of driving, and live in a very cold place (Montreal). We rarely have range concerns and more importantly, the more we drive our car in the winter, the better we...

Question for you guys regarding the HVAC. #1 Is the heated mirror pretty ineffective for you guys? It takes 10 minutes for water droplets to go away on heated mode. #2 In all automatic mode, how do I know if the air is in recir or fresh air? Does it go between both? #3 I don't have...

I was able to get my hands on an IR camera to troubleshoot the cold drafts I've been getting in my Model X. My service center is 700km away (Calgary, AB) so my cold Model X, which never fully warms up when outside temp is less than -15C, is left to me to troubleshoot. It seems that internal...

This morning my car seems to have decided to turn the heater on in rather strange fashion. I seldom pre-heat my car in the morning. Today I thought I would as it's the first day I needed to drive in to work after having received the latest firmware that does battery pre-heat, and I thought I'd...

Did anyone who got a ride in the roadster notice if the slot that housed the speedo (and other info) doubled as the HVAC vent? Assuming that the prototype even had an HVAC system.

Just curious, Telsa has high tech cars and this seems pretty easy to code..... Would you like an option to have your car automatically turn AC/heat to [auto] once it sees you're in range? I know that there is an "app for that", but sometimes we aren't always planning ahead. I think I'd like...

I wanted to cool down my car before I got in (as you can see the interior was 99°) but the app wouldn't allow me to. I had plenty of charge to get home but wanted to cool things down for the little one. He refused to get in and asked for the A/C immediately. I'd love to have an override for this...

There are several threads about this, but now that the Model X 5-seaters are hitting the summer heat for the first time since being delivered, many are questioning the decision by Tesla to eliminate the rear HVAC fan. Tesla needs to realize if they made the proper decision to remove the 2nd fan...

There are two ways to precondition a Model S that I know of: 1) Predictive mode where you set it to guess 2) Turn on the HVAC via the app This is nice, but I cannot find any way to remotely activate the window defrosters/defoggers. I can warm/cool the cabin but unless it's been on a long time...

So, living in NJ - it has been cold! I have range mode ON - and I drive a 90D. Question: How much effect does the fan speed & temperature (75,78,80) actually have on the battery? Does the amount of kw usage remain same for temp set to 75 or 80?

I am hoping to get feedback from 5-seat owners regarding predicted cooling and air flow to the rear cargo area when outside temps are over 100 degrees. I was one of those that was heartbroken and whiny when they eliminated the folding 2nd row seats from the original Model X presentation, so I...

Saw this article claiming a source from Tesla has said the company is doing something very unique with the HVAC system by having no vents, and instead having one giant slit that runs along the dash where hot/cold air will blow out of. This information isn't necessarily new since I remember...

New owner (2 weeks), AP2 hardware. When I set (reset) the hvac settings to auto, the fan goes to speed level 6 and stays there even if the interior temperature is reached (I check the interior temperature using the mobile app). As a result the temperature continues to go up. I would expect...

Am I missing something or is it a multi step process to turn on or off the air conditioning compressor?

We're about to take a road trip and I was wondering, since it will be getting colder, which affects range more, heating or air conditioning. I have experience with the latter but not the former. I have heard using the seat heaters is more efficient than the climate system.

This might seem like odd question, but I can't find any literature to answer it. The climate control in the Model X (and S) is pretty much automatic unless you manually set the blower controls. When it's in automatic mode, does anyone know if the compressor and heater are constantly active to...

True Tesl Milege I drove from Orlando to Jacksonville with a couple of small 12 mile errands. 1. Miles disappear faster if you have the AC on and keep up with the posted high way speed of 70 MPH. 2. Even world class hotels are inadequately reared for electric vehicles. Double tree had three...

I would like to have an option on the Model X screen to leave the HVAC on while I'm not in the car. I live in Florida, so it can get incredibly hot in just a few minutes. I've tried to use the Tesla Android app, but it take several minutes to connect with the car.

So long story short, our MX HVAC is inoperable. Went for a 2 hour drive here in LA, had it set to LO and the cabin never got colder than mid 80's. Outdoor Temp was Mid 80's. I suspect our lines are crossed. Unfortunately last week when I called the service center to have them check out the loud...

Hi, Reason for this post: I'm posting this suggestion for Tesla here because at the most recent SH Meeting Elon said that the best way to make a suggestion would be to post it on either the TMC Forums, or the Tesla Motors Forums. He said that they check for popular ideas, so if you would...
