Manually enable battery cooling

[Boatguy]

Two different things--the 50C is talking about battery temperature. The 40C thing is preventing the temperature inside the car from getting too high to prevent deaths of pets left in the car.

Yes. And certainly the air in the car will heat faster than the significantly higher mass of the battery pack.

It is hot if you live inner part of san Diego. What you are looking at is san Diego city. There is a lot of county in hotter regions of san Diego county.

You could cool the car using the app for a few minutes. Battery cooling might also run simultaneously.

I am not sure if this is covered but is there a way to manually turn on the battery cooling? It will be extra hot the next few days here in SD and I would like to protect my battery.

I know tesla says they have that all covered autonomously but I was wondering if there is a way to do it manually because we know lithium battery will last longer if they are in cooler temperature.

Don't worry, your 89 degree hot day in San Diego won't hurt the Tesla battery
