Leaving my Tesla Unplugged Overnight: Extreme Cold Warning! 

modern cars use 0w20 or less which doesn't freeze in these temps

@@vipvip-tf9rwow20 freezes around -45F and of course the closer it is to freezing, the thicker it is and of course the worse it will be for the engine

In cold climate we plug in block heaters. Problem solved. BTW oil doesn’t freeze. They have cold weather blends. Nice try though.

If no garage, do you have a driveway? Chargers work outside, too. Gas car and left overnight in extreme cold weather have trouble starting and then car battery also has problems. I suggest looking at some of the videos from Norway where EVs are very popular. Also the test on “out os spec review” where 3 year old Tesla with over 100 miles was left out for two days in below zero weather.

@@clevelandthornton7596 Let’s not forget that oil FREEZES at -35 Fahrenheit, also the closer you get to freezing oil, the thicker the oil is and we’re talking about significant wear and tear on the pistons that now have to operate with nearly frozen oil. An engine can only run a few seconds without oil before warping the pistons and damaging the whole engine block beyond repair. That’s why nearly frozen (non moving) oil is going to cause significant damage. People who live in these extreme temperatures use an engine block heater to prevent this. Well this Tesla IS an engine block heater. I don’t see any set backs here unless you wanted to leave your car for weeks at a time

The tests show are not consistent with heat, but he ideal heat for a telsa is an outdoor temp of 78F, after that range is affected

Most Ev’s level off at 10% degradation. 5 years from now the battery will still be fine. Also Most Ev’s are left plugged in overnight and you get into a nice warm, defrosted car in the morning without having to wait.

​@@Adventures_with_nickYou say that, but somehow my 96 Camry is still running, despite not being garaged for the last 15 years, in a place where the winters can get down to -25. Sure, I sometimes have to jump-start it in extreme cold, but it still runs. The battery in an EV would need to be replaced after what, like 5 to 10 years in that environment?

Will do, thanks for watching

@@williamlyons3947 I live in canada and never had to manually lift my window on any cars me or my family had in 29 years so far

@@williamlyons3947just store car in garage and never drive one? Smart

@@anthonyhebert-trudeau6995I think it's more frameless design issue than anything

@@williamlyons3947 lmao afford an electric car, EVs aren't something that needs to be afforded, it replacement for ICE cars, if manufacturers can't lower the price, EVs will fail

Obviously a tesla problem, not a car problem. “Trailer dwellers” have more significantly class than you.

What is the purpose? I would be worried about snow getting into my car.

@@yodaiam1000 Its to keep the window glass from getting stuck to the rubber door molding and preventing you from opening the door. It doesnt put it down that much, its the same amount it does when you open the door. Just when you close it, it doesn't put it all the way up again if you lock the car, and it detects its below like -2C or so.

@@chex383 Thanks. That makes sense.

This is nonsense btw. Range loss on modern EV that use heat pump in winter is more like 15% and for day to day use… not an issue

@@SteveHulshofheat pump doesn't work when weather is too cold

@@vipvip-tf9rw You generate heat from the car when driving to heat anything that needs it (such as cabin). If you are starting from cold (when at home and plugged in) the car will generate heat using the power from the plug. Once warm and driving heat pump uses heat from car.

As a Tesla owner living in Chicagoland I agree. Especially below 0c

Tesla has frameless glass so maybe other cars with frameless glass has this issue, but it is an issue when you close your door after grabbing something from inside of the car and the window constantly goes down not letting you lock the door with the window closed.

That would also apply to the electronics on ICE cars.

Range, charging speeds vs filling up tanks, less electric stations vs gas stations. Even in extreme cold you can just drive right away get your car warmed up more than twice the speeds of Tesla in latest gas cars also price difference. Even cars with prices under 35k gives your more features than 60k plus teslas etc. lots of little things worse of all in extreme cold or extreme heat Tesla range decreases 20 to 45 percent. Bro electric cars are future sure but still got few years to catch up 😂

@@2013TombRaider Glad to see that you dont say they dont have a future at all alot of people look at it that way but i agree they have a few more years to catch up if they upgrade their range then i mean the problem will basically be nonexistent to majority of people hopefully when the cybertruck comes out with that 500 mile range we can see how it performs compared to the other teslas

@@skullnbk5179just came out and don’t got 500 mile range

Very annoying during cold days for sure

hybrid sucks at these temps, engine doesn't stop running

@vipvip-tf9rw I live in Upper Midwest and they do just fine

@@Noypi54494 I have toyota aqua when it's lower than -4f in order to heat cabin engine runing constantly, it's as fuel efficient as any normal car, and yeah In winter where I live it can become as cold as -31f, In warmer days it's good car

@@vipvip-tf9rw efficiency definitely drops because heater runs

Me too

Bruh thats literally with every car with no frame for the glass…

@@AdisMedzikovic no it’s not. I have Audi q8 and it didn’t happen to me during this cold weather. Just accept when it’s at fault. Tesla are very cool but we should not support any car manufacturer with buggy electronics or faulty things in the car. Tesla really needs to fix that. Who knows maybe it doesn’t happen in latest models, I am curious to find out now.

@@AdisMedzikovic And how many cars like that do you see in cold climates? Like almost Zero. Because it works like shit. Not to mention adding those stupid handles that get's stuck too. And then the design that makes the hatch get's stuck. And that also makes it rain to the trunk when it rains and you open it, and also snow and shit that will fall into it. And so on. Tesla is really not well built as a car.

@@Xanthopteryx I’ve seen plenty just in Germany alone this year. Audi A7 and A5, some older BMW coupes, Mercedes CL, all of them also had problems with opening and closing their windows in extreme cold

@@AdisMedzikovic Mercedes CL is a really old type of car. Not been manufactured since 2013 in Europe. And yes, of course there are other brands that have those kind of problem but they are not very common in proper cold climate, like here in the Nordic. A7 and A5 are kind of sport car types, so not very common here. In fact, the entire Europe, A7/S7/RS7 sold only 4.000 cars! In Sweden we only have 15.000 A5, In total! (as much as Tesla model 3) And 2.300 A7. In total! (as much as Tesla model Y) Compare that to Volvo V70: Almost 300.000. If i look out here where i Live, there is not much of those frameless cars. Because, people would go bananas because they would not get into the car several times a week during the winter.

Why 😂

Do you expect it to lose nothing? its like leaving your gas powered car on for that long and expecting it to not lose any gas.

ICE cars don’t lose range just by being outside. Sure there is a loss of range when you actually drive ICE cars at that temperature but so do electric cars. If you live in an apartment and have to park outside, an electric car is much less interesting if you live in places with long winters when you’re losing at least 5% every night.

@@skullnbk5179 In freezing temps? Yeah your car wont loose any noticable amount of gas. You can leave that shit parked for weeks and the amount of gas is the same. Youre 12v battery to start your car might be dead if its absolutely freezing for a long time though
