Does anyone have this with their X? I guess I haven't noticed it before because I'm usually wearing a pretty heavy Parka, but had a longer trip yesterday so decided to take off the jacket, and man, the car was freezing.
Drove from Toronto (Canada) to Buffalo, NY (~200km/125miles) on a fully charged (100%) X75D.
Temperature was -7c/20F - Otherwise clear driving conditions
I previously had passengers complain about this when sitting at the back but I thought they were exaggerating.
However, it was just way too cold to sit there without the jacket due to a really cold breeze coming from the windows, almost like they're not "Sealed" properly. Felt another draft coming from the "front" of the vehicle. Specifically noted that the area under the touchscreen was cold.
Is this normal for Teslas? I've never experienced such things in any other vehicle I've driven.
I normally have the climate control running at about 20c/68f, but had to crank it up to 27c/80f just to keep it "bearable".
Also, I've been noticing a "MAJOR" change in how long my car lasts and the "wh/mile" I'm getting.
On the way from Toronto to Buffalo, my car was averaging 490 wh/mi at speeds between 55mph - 70mph - 100% on autopilot with 0 traffic - complete highway driving, so there was no stop/go outside of "at the border". Climate control was at 68f for the most part but at 80f for a little bit, with seat heater on at "1" for 2 seats
On the way back from Buffalo to Toronto, my car was averaging 510 who/mi on speeds between 55mph - 75 mph (most of the trip, increased to 80mph near the end of the trip) all on autopilot. Climate control at 68f for the entire trip with seat heater at "1" for 2 seats. 0 traffic - complete highway driving
I did a similar trip the night before as well, from Toronto Canada to Niagara Falls Canada (didn't cross the border this time), and had similar results.
On route from Toronto to Niagara averaged 515 wh/mi (after supercharging at Grimsby) driving between 65mph - 70mph complete on autopilot with climate control at 68F, 0 traffic and no "cold weather" features enabled (barely had enough juice to make it to charger) - complete highway driving.
On route from Niagara to Toronto averaged 516wh/mi (after supercharging at Grimsby) driving between 65mph-75mph complete on autopilot with 1 seat warmer at "1" and climate control at 68F, 0 traffic - complete highway driving.
Other details:
Using 19" Pirelli Scorpion Winter Tires (purchased and installed from a Tesla SC). Tire pressure per dashboard for all tires was 42psi.
Car was "completely warm" (in the sense that regen braking was not limited like it usually is in cold weather)
Temperature on both days was similar -7c/20f
Wind speed was "average" and I guess wouldn't matter since if it was bad one way, the return (both times a couple hours later) should have benefited, but it did not by much
