Wanted to make this video for those on the fence of purchasing a Tesla for colder climates. In this video I go over things like range loss in the winter without charging, my real world range during the winter, how long the car takes to heat up, and also how the car handles on my drive to work.
If you guys enjoyed the video please don't forget to leave a like and subscribe. I plan to make more Tesla related content as time progresses as well as other content including fitness and technology!

Is Tesla reliable as only car for a family of 2 in michigan?

@mirnamika2067 3 года назад

Thank you for a great video! The fact that the car warmed up to 70 degrees in under 7 minutes was crazy!

This is one of the main reasons I have been so hesitant about getting an EV, I am in southeast MI, and I am concerned about what the low temps can do to battery life. This was a great video, thank you for sharing!

Thanks for the Video,. My wife commutes 60 miles each direction daily. I'm considering a a model Y. In Ontario we do use Winter Tires. My wife is worried about getting stuck in traffic and not getting heat. (Does the heat pump give you instant heat?) I would expect as long as she isn't travelling with less than 20% battery. But any advise would be appreciated!. Thank you.

Never have I even considered the heat being less effective than my previous car which was a 2019 ram 1500. If anything the heat in this car runs hotter and heats up way faster than an comparable ice car. As far as a 60 mile commute that should be more than enough to make it both ways while staying over 20%. I would actually just recommend daily charging to 85-90% in the beginning and then eventually trickling down as she gets more comfortable with the commute.

You should do a video on your radar detector installation and how you wired it up.

@TechMultiview100 3 года назад

Thank you for the comment! Really appreciate it, I’ll definitely do a video on the radar! I have one other videos in the pipeline but I will get to it as soon as I can. Make sure you are subscribed!

Hi, did you ppf any of the car? How has MI roads been on it? Do you still have it and do you recommend it?

@Kris A. Would you recommend someone to get a Tesla if they have no home charger b/c living in an apartment complex in the Northeast? I have free chargers at work and superchargers within 1 mile of where I live.. Would it be a hassle?

@deathward990 2 месяца назад

I am in same situation. What did you end up doing?

I found that the standard regen braking works quite well in the snow and slush. There are multiple factors that make it better than standard brakes. 1) weight of the car 2) regen won't lockup the wheels 3) all wheel drive = all wheel braking 4) Tesla's traction control works better than any other car I've driven 5) I've pushed my Y harder than 99% of people drive and had zero issues, and thats on the standard tires that came on the car.

At what age did you come to the US? I came at 16 and still have a very strong accent. You must have been around 10-12?

@2Dimples4U 2 года назад

I would love to see a video now that you’ve had it for a year and see how your car is in the colder times like -20 or -30 degrees Fahrenheit. I’d like to get one but Minnesota winters are brutal.

@TechMultiview100 2 года назад

Just upgraded to a 2022 since the market is crazy, but used it all winter and it did amazing. Car is great, weakest point is prob the tires which I will be getting something with more sidewall and better snow performance. Other than that best way to prepare for cold is plug up overnight and preheat while plugged in. This warms the car and the battery without using any range.

@2Dimples4U 2 года назад

@@TechMultiview100 Nice. Thanks for the reply and update. I definitely want to look into getting one soon. How long was the wait time?

Thanks for doing a video in a Tesla exposed outside in Midwest winters . I live in northeast and want a Tesla but curious how they do outside in below freezing temps and bad weather .

@danM1.21 2 года назад

Great video! I live in metro Detroit and wasn’t sure if a wrap job would be worth it- Did you wrap yours? And does it handle the potholes pretty good?

@sagarmeena0210 3 года назад

good analysis. Car is working perfectly in Cold

@TechMultiview100 3 года назад

Yes it is and honestly better than what a lot of other people experienced with the 3 without the heat pump. I watched video on the 3 before the heat pump and saw a 50% reduction in range which is something I am not seeing at all. Again hope you enjoyed the video and if you wouldn’t mind subscribing I plan to make more content really soon. Thank you!

@confusedgaming7574 3 года назад

Is this performance or long range?

So there is less wear on the brake pads with generative breaking

@TechMultiview100 3 года назад

You don’t use the brake pads at all with regenerative breaking it’s amazing!

How were you able to adjust the Regen braking to low? I don’t have that feature on my Model Y as I was told Tesla took it away with a software update.

@TechMultiview100 3 года назад

Yeah I believe they did remove this option sadly. I think it was a dumb choice honestly and they probably did it for some EPA reason. My advice would be just to get really used to the pedal and learn how to feather it. I have been keeping the regen on the standard setting lately and this has worked for me since I’ve gotten good at timing my release of the pedal. Hope that helps!
