Transport Canada investigating Tesla heat pump issues
After receiving several complaints from owners across the country over the last few weeks, Transport Canada has launched an investigation into the recent heat pump issues in Tesla vehicles.driveteslacanada.ca
Can you please post your invoice? That way I can ask my SC to preorder parts.
I'm curious to know if your car is parked outside all the time or inside a warm building and whether the front vent gets a chance to close properly? If you're parking outside, is there anywhere that you could park for a few hours so that if icing over the vent is the problem it could be melted away? Thus far we've not had the issue but tonight the cold might get severe enough to have this happen. @ 30.7 too.
Thanks for sharing. This is what I suspect will be the case for all eventually, they’re probably just trying to get people by for long enough with these recent software updates to get enough parts in, software hasn’t “fixed” mine so it’s in for service this morning.
Hi Trev, unfortunately since I am still on PEI due to the COVID-19 situation in Ontario, I am stuck parking outside. The front louver seems to be able to cycle open and closed freely, but never stays closed anymore as far as I've noticed. I did try to thaw the car out at a self-storage drive-through loading garage for a few hours and that did not resolve the issue. The weather here is turning mild today (1ºC, showers) so I will have a chance to revisit this again. But at this stage I've all but ruled out ice buildup anywhere in the HVAC system as a root cause.
Thanks for the response. This certainly seems to be a hit or miss issue to some extent. Whatever it is, at least it appears Tesla is looking into it. I hope you manage to get it resolved soon - somehow, although given there's no service locations near PEI, you'll only be able to address it if you travel.
Can you ask if it's a redesign or a stock replacement? Any idea of what the failure of the part is?
Curious to see "Inspected components and found Supermanifold to replace". So they effectively found something wrong on that manifold or found the revision number to be different. Mine is going in 19th. One week to go.
Thanks for your report. I'm guessing this the same hardware issue that afflicted many of the earlier Model Ys.
Makes sense. My build is July 2021 so I am likely a few revisions ahead of your original supermanifold. At this stage I think the software-based solutions have been exhausted for me. The low refrigerant matter is interesting.. any idea if your error code was trying to tell us this? I wonder if under extreme conditions such as deep cold the pressures are such that it becomes damaged or a leak occurs otherwise. The manifold is not visible from the frunk without disassembly so I have no idea which revision I am on now.
