If the house is above the garage, your garage heat is reducing your house heating costsI don't see how heating the garage to heat the battery would ever be cost effective.
Please don’t do something as obviously stupid as this.If the house is above the garage, your garage heat is reducing your house heating costs
I would like to try putting a small 110v heater on the floor below the center of the car, on 750w not 1500w. The car will run its' coolant pumps to distribute the heat evenly throughout the pack. Need to watch out for water pooling around the heater, though.
My battery heating stops when I open the door.I can't see any circumstances where heating the garage solely for the car makes any sense. It's always going to be most cost effective to keep your car cold and warm it up as needed.
I believe that both turning on the climate control through the app and keeping a door open will cause the car to warm up the battery. Keep your car plugged in and it will use wall power to do this.
However, if you're not going too far, then the most efficient method of all is to just keep your car cold and simply drive off without anything else. What little extra energy you gain from regen isn't offset by the energy used to heat the battery.
Totally agree regarding the garage heating, and of course a space heater under the car is a horrible fire just waiting to happen.My battery heating stops when I open the door.
Regardless, you’re correct that there are no situations where it will be more cost effective to heat the garage for additional regeneration.
My limited regeneration yellow line disappeared today when my battery reached 59*F on ScanMyTesla.Hi, Folks,
Does anyone know what temperature the Tesla battery likes to be at in a heated garage I mean more specifically the garage temperature to keep the car from having limited regeneration? I will appreciate your ideas
Thanks
Yeah, you'd have to plug into a GFCI outlet, which the law has required every outdoor outlet to be since 1971 They're really great at doing their one job of completely preventing fires if a hair dryer, radio, heater etc falls into a bathtub or sink. Anyways my ideal heater would have a slanted roof over-top of it, just to make sure water doesn't drip on it.Please don’t do something as obviously stupid as this.
