Awesome Cold Weather "start" ... about how much range is lost in such cold weather?

Honest question…would you use this vehicle at -35°C if you had a daily commute between Regina, Saskatoon and Prince Albert. Please answer this honestly?
@Blubb500025 күн бұрын
My X3M lost exactly 0.000% of its range when I left it outside last winter for 2 weeks in a parking lot at the airport at freezing temperature for the entire time. It's efficiency also did not change at all.

Is this a car without the heat pump heater? I wonder if the heat pump version on newer models would struggle in -34. That is very cold.
@alexlalonde419015 күн бұрын
Yep, was wondering the same?
@adrianthoroughgood119112 күн бұрын
@alexlalonde4190 a house heat pump has a normal electric heater built in for when it's very cold and the HP won't work. I don't know if they do that on cars as well though. Given how they didn't think of snow blocking the lights on a CT, you can't assume they properly take account of cold weather.

**Main Takeaways:** - **Temperature Impact:** At -17°C, the Tesla Model 3 lost about 9% of battery range overnight, with an actual effective loss of 5% due to cold affecting battery performance. - **Battery Readings:** The cold reduced the available range temporarily, indicated by a snowflake icon and a blue line on the display. - **Energy Use:** Sentry mode, which was active, used more energy to keep the cameras defrosted. - **Range Loss:** In-town driving in extreme cold showed about a 30% loss of range. - **Pre-Heating:** Pre-heating the car helped improve comfort and battery efficiency. - **Overall:** Despite energy loss, Tesla batteries handle cold weather relatively well, with less impact than commonly feared.
@Mrfam1014 ай бұрын
Not to be rude, but the fact that you left Sentry Mode on completely invalidated this test. Sentry mode can drain like 4% of your battery overnight. To have a real sense of cold-related idle battery drain, you need to leave out any other source of battery consuption.

The coldest I've had here in the US where I live was -37 C The coldest place i've been in the mainland USA was Peter Sinks UT. It was -55 C in the bowl. A girl got frost bite taking her gloves off for more than 1 1/2 minutes. Wind just killed her fingers.

Thank you so much for such an informative video. How many miles can it go one a full charge in winter in your opinion? Any heat pump in yours?
@SaskTechIdeasАй бұрын
We have a heat pump in our current model 3, we traded up in 2022, it’s much more efficient. Long range will go something like 300kms (185miles) in winter, depending on temp and winds and stuff.

You better get that long range model - you conveniently left out how much battery and charge capacity you lose in cold weather.
@rgs8579 ай бұрын
I have a question: If you leave your car plugged in overnight to a level 1 charger(120 volt outlet) when its -30, will it still charge at the same speed(about 3 km per hour).
@SaskTechIdeasАй бұрын
No, it uses a bunch of the energy to keep the battery warm and maintain current charge… so at like -30C it just stays at the same charge level.
