Hi folks,
I am about to take delivery of my Model S (feels like I have been saying that for a year now, hurry up Tesla!!). Recently I came across a few threads and a video where folks pointed out peculiar problems with the heating and cooling effectiveness of Teslas. A number of folks say that they went on a long road trip and after a few hours driving in 100+ degree F weather the car AC's cooling reduced significantly and it became quite ineffective. Perhaps it was used to cool batteries or whatever the heck happened, this just does not sound good. After spending $90K+ on a luxury EV, the last thing one expects is to have problems with a car's basic functions like heating and cooling.
In some other threads I read that some folks' Model S heating never got above 40 degrees in Minnesota and/or Michigan winters. And that they were freezing their posteriors off driving in the cold weather. And no the car in either situation wasn't in range mode and the users had tinkered the the cilmate control settings to fix the issues to no avail.
Now I know that a lot of times folks who post online a negative review or write a post about a problem do so only when they have a problem. But my question to all of you is, are you happy with how well a Tesla heats and cools on a regular day and extreme hot and cold days? This is really important for me because the last thing I want is to have a bloody car that cannot even keep me and my family comfortable. Please let me know and kindly vote your option in the poll below. Thank you very much
