Will Model Y finally get a heat pump???

Agreed.

I know that some people had problems with their climate control system. I've had my Y for 1 year and I'm using AC daily now (temp=70, fan=2) and it's still working great. I try the heat from time to time just to make sure everything is still working.

I'm not tracking that closely, but the AC doesn't seem to make a significant difference in terms of battery use (235 Wh/mi avg over ~74 miles).

Went through my first winter last year with my 2020 Y and was amazed at the efficiency and speed with which this system generated heat. Within a minute of starting the car on a COLD day (single digits) I could feel warm air coming from the vents. I pretty much left my HVAC settings alone - AUTO @ 72 degrees. The only time I needed to crank in more heat was when I drove in temps below ZERO degrees to test the system. Tesla’s Heat Pump and OctoValve are game changers.
