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!
A greedy American's gimme, gimme attitude. No matter how much they get, they always want more. The words 'thank you' have been surgically removed from their vocabulary. I am an American, so I know this to be a fact.
Mmmmm what’s up with this person jaja. Thank you Tesla . Please share more information about development and manufacturing since it motivates people to study the field.
@@jordanplays-transitandgame1690 German automakers have the best build quality in the automotive segment, I don't know what you're on about. What they struggle with is reliability due to their high complexities and dense technologies.
@@reduxith build quality my ass new german cars are build cheap as fuck. I dont deny germans are the most capable of making good cars but nowadays they simply just refuse to do it just so they can milk their customers dry like any other brand...they started asking huge prices but also removed the quality out of the equation.
I've always wondering how a Tesla can survive the Moroccan heat (47°c+) and now I know. Kudos to the team that works on that heat and also for using black cars.
@@carholic-sz3qv Renault Zoe, Nissan Leaf, bmw iq3 and so on. The batteries don't have cooling or they don't have heating. Most electric cars only have isolation OR cooling OR not enough of both. Many of the electric cars won't handle the cold here in Norway or won't handle overheating.
Excellent work Tesla!! I really hope you have fully winter tested the air suspension system for Cybertruck. Most air suspension systems get removed bc the valves freeze up. Thanks
@@paintedpony2935You know their charging doors were freezing shut and Regen can't work with cold batteries. Let's not pretend they couldn't use a reminder or two from users.
@@paintedpony2935 if anyone at the company can bring an issue up to musk, then I’m pretty sure they’re glad to have any suggestions regardless if they’re redundant or not
@@paintedpony2935 I am sure Tesla thinks of everything and EVERY issue that people tweet about and Musk had to addressed were all planned by them….. (TeslaFanboys) Ugh 🤦🏻♂️
Difference between testing in controlled environment and out in desert is same as using a treadmill in air conditioned gym vs running outdoors. Love the drone footage ❤
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.
Awesome! Its one thing testing the car in a controlled lab setting and another bringing it to the hottest place on earth in the worst time of the year and putting yourself in the passenger’s shoes to experience what they would. Props Tesla team, love these videos and your testing regime.
@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.
I'm always worried about heat in the valley that reaches 113 F and how it would affect lithium batteries. Especially bumper to bumper traffic and at certain elevation as well. This is how durability test is done. Great stuff.
@@tullo5564 your problem is that the media doesn’t tell you every time an ice car catches on fire. The reason being that there are too many and no one cares
This is great and gives more confidence for use in Arizona during the summer. We can get 120 degrees + or about 50 degrees Celsius which also impacts the tire wear too.
Would like to see results from the test. Something like the temperature of the battery. How much range is affected when you're running the AC on full etc.
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.
Good to see. It’s that hot actually hotter where I live. Not as humid but hot as heck and I do worry about the heat sometimes. I would never hear the end of it if my Tesla caught on fire somehow🤦🏼♀️🤣🤣🤣🤣
Respect. This is was my primary concern regarding Tesla cars in the Middle East. It’s hot here, it’s no joke and this video is opening my mind for Tesla’s cars.
Living in Arizona, many years ago I bought a VW and clearly they did not do exhaustive temp testing as the plastics around the windows peeled back, the hoses in the engine bay were very soft rubber and needed to be replaced more often and the AC failed 2 summers in a row on a brand new car, impressed that Tesla choose a high heat and high humidity environment, probably more challenging that Arizona desert vehicle testing sites
I have driven a 2019 Model 3 standard range plus through Death Valley during summer. The car held up well. With all the improvements made over the years I am confident that Tesla can produce cars that will continue to operate well in extreme environments. Even on Mars.
Yep you can limit it to 85/95/105 degrees F. Getting in to a car that is 95F is a lot more comfortable than getting in a typical car sitting in the sun that is 130F
@@5893MrWilson I see upwards of 150°F cabin temps in the peak of summer in Alabama. Cabin overheat protection has been a lifesaver. Especially for items I sometimes leave in the cabin that might not fare as well at those high temps.
They have my dreamjob. I'm an absolute car geek and I love technology and Tesla. Driving around and bringing the car to the maximum would be something I would do 24/7.
If only all products sold to the public had this level of testing and quality assurance. Tesla’s standards are far more strenuous than 90% of the vehicles sold today and they are continually upgrading and refining their vehicles to enhance public safety and vehicle performance. Kudos!
Love these videos. Hope to see more about Tesla service and parts supplies. As Tesla shifts away from most early adopter buyers to more mainstream buyers, they have to know Tesla parts and service will be there in timely manner. Horror stories of waiting three or six months for parts or service missing appointments and losing appointments and the whole billing app issues, would be nice to see videos showing many of those things are no longer an issue. Happy owners are the best advertising and the next wave of owners will not likely be as forgiving as earlier waves.
Thanks so much Tesla testing team! More please! Love to see how our cars are tested but great advertising to prospective Tesla buyers… can’t wait for next video!
@@Just_a_random_birb yeah every single manufacturers collects millions of datas and calculate stuffs like that and even more complex and important stuffs for everything from commercial vehicles to overlanding, rescue and much more including custom made vehicles for very specific applications....
I didn't realize I was doing extreme heat testing here in AZ. The glass roof is not a benefit in the summer and just maintaining the cab temperature is a struggle. A simple external cab cover that could be installed in less than 20-30 second by one person would be nice. In order to make this work if there were 4 locking latches or attach points on the rear hatch and near the wipers so that the cab could be covered for trips to the store or when at work this alone would prevent most of the heat that the car needs to remove.
The brian guy made a good point there is also sun shades and reflectors that you can purchase that will fit the roof perfect and would solve alot of that heat
@@syproful Yes we have the darkest tint but the heat still builds up. Shade on the outside of the window helps the most. Unfortunately the AZ desert isn't known for shade trees.
These cars are truly something else. I've never driven something so "drive-able" in my life. Sure the performance doesn't transfer all the way down through the components (the suspension and turning is not stellar) but for just a basic daily vehicle capable of delivering awesome power and great technology to boot there isn't a better option out there. It's not everything I want it to be but it's absolutely worth pointing out how incredibly the vehicles are. Not only that but the Tesla infrastructure is worth applauding. The availability of chargers is top tier. Love these vehicles, perhaps some day I'll be able to afford one.
I'm Omani, we are neighboring UAE. Our climate here is almost as hot and humid and I thought all electric cars gonna fail in our region. But seeing the efforts of this video gives me hope!
Now that's a great way of testing heat endurance of the Tesla models! I also seem to recall Arizona was a great location for heat testing! Greetings from Belgium!
I unexpectedly took a rented Model 3 off-roading when my rural highway overtake didn’t go as planned. I was not expecting it to handle *that* confidently. Truly awesome.
We can only confirm that. We even went to Morocco with our Tesla Y and did more than 45,000 km in one year. We have documented all our experiences on our RU-vid channel. We are extremely happy with our Tesla Y. Buying a Tesla has been the best decision ever.
As a resident of the UAE, I have not had the opportunity to experience Tesla cars firsthand. However, I can say with certainty that the reason why many people in the UAE opt for Japanese cars is not solely due to their perceived coolness factor. Rather, it is because their air conditioning systems are exceptionally well-suited for our hot weather. With just a single adjustment, you can easily cool down even on the hottest summer days. Overall, my experience with the AD has been positive and it appears to be a reliable vehicle.
I was hoping to see cabin temperatures mentioned in this video, why weren't they? Here in Thailand it's regularly over 40 degrees C and the Thailand Tesla groups often mention the fact that the air-con does a poor job of cooling the cars. The pre-cooling function is particularly poor. Heated seats and heated steering wheel but the seats are not cooled or ventilated and no sun shade for the glass roof. It is standard procedure here to add additional heat reflective film to all glass and Tesla's have a lot of it. White is the free paint colour in most countries, but in Thailand it's Black and the option to specify a white interior is not available! 🥵
Great! And after watching 4 mins video, what's the result? My daily drive is a Model Y Long Range and I face significant range drop between winter and summer in the UAE
It's just as hot in Death Valley and Inyokern CA. I had days July and August of 2021 in my 2020 Model 3 where I couldn't drive it because it over heated. The screen wouldn't turn on and I had to open all doors and wait 30 plus min for it to cool off. Yes, this happened because I turned off cabin protection mode. I did this because I got tired of parking at work at 70% battery and 9 hours later I would have around 35% battery left because cabin protect ran the AC for 9 hours. Mileage doesn't matter if you drive 5 miles to work and spend the equivalent of 150 miles in battery running the AC sitting parked. This is how you can have an EV with 20k miles but it's got 300k equivalent in battery run time and needs a new battery. EVs don't do well in hot climates.
My 2019 Model 3 had some of the coldest AC I’ve ever had in a vehicle. It was perfection. My 2022 Model 3 and 2023 Model Y can barely cool down the interior once it gets above 85F. Not a chance it could ever keep up at 124F. Tesla service checked both and said “they’re working as expected” so I took my 2019 in and showed them real AC. The service tech had no answers after comparing them side by side. Tesla, fix your AC units because the new units suck.
About 25 degrees F if it's a a simple white metal. With windows, sun roof, ect, it's hard to say. You could definitely fry an egg on a black car roof at any temperature over 105 in direct sunlight at midday. A white roof would nearly be impossible
I live in Aus, yes it’s humid. But u don’t know hot until you travel to UAE and neighbouring counties in desert !! During summer! At least most people in Aus live near the coast .. it’s not that bad
