I am in the Northeast and I noticed the benefit of the heat pump a lot. My previous EV was ID.4 without any heatpump let alone octavalve etc. Its winter consumption was terrible. The range was decreasing half even in mild cold weathers like 23-28F. Tesla Model Y is just a beast when it cones to efficient. Yes winter does reduce range but by 10-20%. It is magical. Go Tesla Team

[@Tinjinladakh]

imagine if you could some how transfer hot tesla car in CA to colder area in yours cold tesla and do opposite like sharing data.

[@ptviwatcher]

ICE engines consumption also vary with outside temperature, let alone if you use the belt driven (!) air conditioning. But somehow the "range loss" is only discussed as a "problem" for electric vehicles. Maybe because an ICE car has a rough gauge for fuel, that people only care when it goes to "red", and EVs have a precise numeric indicator...

[@darekmistrz4364]

@@ptviwatcher It comes down to charge time and overall max range. You can fuel up 90s Civic in few minutes and still have more range than Model Y. I actually changed my car straight from early 2000s Civic into 2021 Model Y and I would never even consider to go back, but for some people it's really hard to break from the pattern of fueling up and having a lot of range.

[@Ehralur]

It's even worse than that. The ID.4 did have a heatpump, but they've started to remove it now because of chip shortages. So chances are your ID.4 was that inefficient WITH a heat pump, go figure how bad it'll be without it...

[@ConstantinSPurcea]

@@ptviwatcher no bro, ICE have very precise measurements for fuel consumption. How do you think the injectors would know what to do? That precise mpg or L/100km figure you get, think that’s just bs? On average I get a couple mpg less in cold weather but that’s mainly because I wait for the car to warm up a couple minutes before leaving unlike in summer. Even though in summer I use the air conditioning which pumps cool air right away but uses quite noticeable power to drive the compressor.

@@brentmadison7605 you will have problem with that only if you abandoned your car in very cold for several days right in front of charger. If you need to drive to charger at least 10 minutes - there is no differnce it is cold or hot outside

[@goingelectric7826]

@@brentmadison7605 Yes, you can charge at virtually any temperature. But just as frigid weather often requires an engine block heater to keep everything from freezing, an EV battery also uses energy to keep itself warm enough to charge. When not charging the battery cools down again and uses almost no energy to maintain itself. Then when you get in to drive, it consumes energy to warm up to an optimum temperature. Again, similar to an engine block heater in frigid regions. I’ve driven and charged my Model Y all across the Upper Midwest and Canada during frigid and icy winter months and the vehicle operates and charges well. Charging speeds do slow down a bit, and energy availability in a cold battery does decline a bit, but good Supercharger route planning via the car’s Navigation and pre-conditioning the battery before departure can get you virtually anywhere.

[@ecospider5]

@brentmadison7605 When you drive to a charger you need to set it as the destination. That causes the car to make the battery the best temperature for charging. Be that -20 degrees or 120 degrees. The car will condition the battery for 250Kw charging.

[@gnryushi]

[@iBackBeat]

@@gnryushi In less than two minutes it’s getting warm inside.

[@woodrobin]

@@brentmadison7605 Yes. It can direct heat from components like the motors, the CPU and the GPU into the battery to heat it up. The slowing of charging in colder weather isn't a general weather issue, it's a "battery charges best when battery's at a certain range of temperatures" issue. So, if you use the car's navigation, it will plan in a charging stop at a Tesla supercharger (or a compatible one in the rare case where a Tesla charger isn't available) and the car will pre-heat the battery as needed to make sure it's at the right temperature when you arrive at the charger. It will also keep the battery warmed up if necessary (charging the battery produces heat because, y'know, entropy is a thing, but if it's brass monkey cold (as they say), it'll add some more heat in). It can still pump heat in and warm the battery if you forget to plan the route or are just winging it, but it's more efficient to give it a heads-up so it can do it while you're driving, instead of starting when you plug in.

I live in the mountains of Colorado, and have a Model Y Long Range…I take this thing EVERYWHERE. In the first year I put over 23,000 miles on it, taking road trips to the Texas coast and up to Montana. It drives beautifully in the mountains…regenerative braking makes the car even more efficient when going downhill. I’ll run around, plug it in at night, and charge for $1-2.00. A 160 mile round trip down the mountain for errands might cost $6-7. My trips to Austin cost $75, while our 4Runner is around $224 ($260 at the highest gas price). I will NEVER buy another gas car again…the direct buying process was the least stressful experience I’ve ever had buying a car…no fighting with commissioned salespeople and finance managers. It was magical. ❤ The supercharger network gives Tesla a HUGE advantage over other EVs. I keep the Tesla mobile travel kit in my car with RV plugs just in case, but I’ve never used Chargepoint or the overly-complicated third-party networks. I just pull up, charge, and I’m on my way. My friend with the Mustang Mach-E is afraid to take it anywhere because she has no idea how to charge it on the road. In 14 months I’ve never come across a broken charger…you don’t have that same sophisticated charging experience with the others. Even our plug is elegantly small…I understand the weight and cumbersome size of the other charger plugs can cause faults in charging. Way to go, Tesla. I love my car…

It's also more than just the heatpump. Tesla's design allows heat/cold from any system to be directed to any other system through a special manifold and valve system. For example, waste heat from the motor can be used to heat the cabin in cold weather. Or, waste heat from the heat pump can be used to pre-heat the battery for supercharging when the AC is cooling the cabin. Or pretty much any other combination. Also, Audi and VW group are removing heatpumps from their cars because of some "chip shortage." In other words, they are buying a generic heatpump assembly from a supplier and they don't know how to adapt the design or rewrite the firmware for a slightly different chip and I guess the supplier doesn't care to either.

Not sure if this is a design problem or a part supplyer issue, but I am not happy with their "innovation" :(

In Finland too many suffer the same problem with the heat pump. New cars, month or less old, driven 500-1500km and heat pump broken. Thinking should I cancel my model y order if quality is this bad..

[@leonmilner9994]

Octovalve kind of reminds me of how the valves in a trumpet work to redirect airflow. Cool stuff!

[@missingpiece2071]

very cool, and respect for leaving comments on. My only problem with the heat pump only set up is that unlike a gas car that can run the a/c and heater in defrost mode, the heat pump only can not also run the a/c for defrost. IMO if you did install a strip heater like you had on the early 3's then you could do both. I know that would cause massive drain on the battery but it would provide back up heat in extreme cold weather and allow for very fast defrost. Maybe if you put in a humidity sensor so it only ran above 50% humidity or something. It would also give you the ability to provide supplemental heat when the heat pump has to defrost the evaporator on long cold trips. I'm sure you already know all this and are trying to keep prices down but my biggest gripe is that defrost really isn't what a gas car can do because it can run both heat and a/c at same time. I also wish you offered an option without the glass roof. Probably great in moderate temps but really not worth it in extreme temperatures. The glass gets so hot you can't tough it, and you can feel it baking the top of your head in the summer and in the winter it's just a massive heat sink sucking out the warmth of the cabin. Love the car, my gripes are minor compared to what I could go on about with my gas car but offering option without the glass roof and including a strip heater for defrost would by my first choice if you offered it. Thanks again for leaving comments turned on, much respect.

Cabin condenser and evaporator are separate units that don't switch functions. It can and does provide heat and dehumidification at the same time

Cool vid! Great format: educational, entertaining, and technical.

I don't imagine many automakers would use thermal and manufacturing efficiencies as selling points. Maybe I'm just a nerd, but that's super badass to me.

[@grantmccoy6739]

Cold weather is terrible for ev efficiency, because resistive heating (electric heating) is extraordinarily inefficient. So yeah, they are trying to get ahead of that flaw. I don't know if it's a deal breaker, but it's noticeable apparently.

Tesla Engineering is in a league of its own. Keep up the great work!

[@Chainyanker007]

If you were a real hotshot engineering student would you rather work at Tesla or GM?

[@tracyphoenixx]

To those without a Tesla but still watch🗿

[@thetravellersboots]

They don't even sell them where I live 😂

[@kennykolourinc1250]

very interesting glad you are making videos detailing the workings of a Tesla…hopefully there are more to come

[@alexanderkenway]

Once you get a Tesla other EVs won't cut it. Sure you can go more premium or more affordable but once you factor in all aspects of the vehicle nothing comes close

[@PhatOof]

There are a range of comparable EVs that most EV enthusiasts would recommend, and often over a Tesla. (E.g. Ioniq 5), but if you're looking for particular features, Tesla definitely wins.

[@masterrpgs]

Tesla’s strengths are technology, performance, and supercharger network. The only thing I want that others have and Teslas don’t is vehicle to load (which Tesla can do easily with a software up date).

[@or2wheels]

That’s one thing I absolutely love about my Model 3 - in winter the car warms up alarmingly quick. By the time I’m down my driveway the air from vents is noticeable warmer than the ambient temps in the cabin. Of course using the app you can schedule the temperature before you even leave. The best kind of technology is one where you don’t even have to interact with it.

[@montyi8]

Where does Elon fit in all of these. He acts as if he knows everything but these engineers do all the work.

[@2pop39]

It’s called Tesla not Elon Musk Inc. that’s the whole point of having employees

[@bilsid]

All the guys buying expensive tesla are making the future tesla cars cheaper. good job for taking it for the team guys 👍🏽 👏

[@MurseBrandon]

This video aged poorly...

[@Lensandwander]

Why?

[@MurseBrandon]

@@Lensandwander because all the EVs that died in Chicagoland/midwest and were left stranded/abandoned when we had that cold snap. EVs were not operational whatsoever.

[@Jackrhavy46]

I love your products, love you so much Tesla! You guys developed a amazing product and mechanics workers congratulations and please continue to do more and more amazing updates like this! Thank you all Tesla workers you guys are amazing and Elon you have done a beautiful and great job! Thanks for sharing your geniuses with the world !❤

Can it heat my Indian curry?

[@WernerSevenster]

Video production quality is improving! Keep it coming!

[@blckwaterpark]

Fantastic. Can't wait for the house version! Waiting to upgrade my heating system!

[@RyanPringnitz]

I love how warm Tesla vehicles are. The heat pump works great.
