Extreme Heat Testing | Tesla Model S, 3, X and Y

Our field quality engineers head to Dubai at the hottest time of the year for extreme heat and durability testing. Temperatures reach over 122°F/50°C in August

Need MORE behind the scenes insight into the development, testing, production and overall engineering of the cars and other products. So cool to see, and showcases to those who don't know much about Tesla just how much goes into making these cars the best in the world. Cheers!

I definitely experienced a drop off on performance during the winter 2022 cold front when driving cross country in both directions. To the point that the Model 3 I rented couldn't reach the next supercharger station without driving at less than the speed limit, turning off all unnecessary systems, turning the heat off, and using only the seat warmer. It was not the best for my first experience, but I also understand that colder temperatures degrade performance, and that announcements of improvements have been given in the last 5 months. I appreciate videos like this, because it shows innovation in extreme temperatures, and ensures my hope that newer models will accommodate such problems as they arise. For context, I drove from Phoenix to North Carolina.

I live in south Florida. This weekend the heat advisory we are under has really tested my boyfriends model 3. He had a 2020 3 and the AC was never and issue. I think they changed the ac type to I believe a heat pump. It takes a lot longer to cool the car down when driving even if you pre-cooled it. It like was blowing and such but “cool” but didn’t seem “cold and crisp” for a while. It has been this way since he got it. Eventually it gets to feel comfortable. But in 100 degrees and 100% humidity it can be brutal on any AC system.

@Tesla: Tesla's ingenuity in naming their vehicles with the letters S, 3, X, and Y not only showcases their creativity but also their ability to captivate the market. It's intriguing how Tesla has managed to turn these seemingly simple letters into something truly "sexy" in the automotive world. By breaking away from the conventional naming conventions, Tesla has successfully infused a sense of exclusivity and sophistication into their brand. The S, 3, X, and Y have become iconic symbols of Tesla's commitment to innovation and pushing boundaries. It's a testament to Tesla's unique vision and their ability to create a lasting impact on the industry. Bravo, Tesla, for making "sexy" more than just a word, but an experience on wheels.
