Lotus Eletre R vs Tesla Model 3 Performance HVAC Race

Sorry not a drag race this time but thought this might be interesting. Not a professional YouTuber or video editor. It's my first go so go easy on me

Nice comparison @FastLaneJB. The result is no surprise, the octovalve heat pump is really great.

I'm sure the Eletre has more interior volume to heat/cool than a Model 3 though. Model Y or S are probably closest to the Eletre in interior size. But I'm also sure a current Model Y or S with heat pump would easily beat that Eletre result too.

Yes the car does have a bigger volume so it’s not completely fair but as you say I think a Model X which I guess is the closest to it would heat up in a pretty quick time still.

Nearly an hour?!! That is ridiculous, bigger cabin size or not. Embarrassing.

Yes I agree. It’s useless with it taking that long.
