For anyone wondering, you can do that, and a shit ton more of things, from everywhere in the world, and you can also automate it, so that for example, you car heats up (both the cabin, and the seats/steering wheel) at 6 in the morning everyday when you go to work.
Better and better at depleting your already tiny battery range? I'm glad you pointed that out. For a car that already works extremely poorly in the winter, this is a bad feature.
@@URsooomad8613 Well, that’s just with every EV car. At least this is a feature that is great, you can be inside of your house and defrost your car withought having to go outside and doing it, and you can pre-heat the battery to gain more range.

petrol and diesel cars had this (optional) feature for at least 30 years while the heater was plugged in to the socket but the last ~15 years Webasto had the car battery powered remote controlled pre-heaters.
One of my favorite features of the Tesla is that you can use a voice command to select a music melody. Even from which artist. In addition to playing your own lists (and others') from Spottify.
Bro? They literally are showing you this feature in this video you just watched... Also you don't need to advertise something that has been on gas cars also... My Mercedes can do this and car owners SHOULD read their car manual to know the features of their car.. Not from the manufacture...
@@Endorion_YTCjust wishing Tesla would advertise from an investor standpoint. This, among all their other videos, are all things I already know.

I like the preheating and defrost features, but having some warm air in the trunk would be nice. In -6°C, my wife drove 45 km to work with the charging cable in the trunk. Upon reaching work, it took an additional 3 hours of defrosting before she could open the trunk and charge port to finally charge the M3 LR from December 2021.
There’s a rear defrost feature, it’s the one that looks like a rectangle. Next to the defrost/defogger icon, it should melt the ice around the charge port. If all else fails, pour hot water around the ice.
@@DanyCervantes We don't have such icon. I would use such tricks but my wife thinks she don't drive a Tesla to run around with some hot water at 6 in the morning in -6°C in her office cloth. :-)
The fact that i have to defrost thecar for 30min before i can open the door is really frustrating, like just make a door frame whats the problem. The framdeles windows are alittle cool, but not worth the troubles.
@@logitech4873 i agree, but it's a problem with all the cars with frameless windows. Even if we didn't have the handle frozen in place, the windows wouldn't move to let the door open. Tesla, with the fact that you can preheat the cabin, is the only car that solves the issue. I've been in an Audi TT, and when winter came, we had no way to get inside. Windows was stuck, no way to heat the cabin/windows without going inside.. so yeah.
Well I hit the remote start button and my 2020 Civic comes to life. 20 min in -11F and you're good to go and I don't have a battery pack to worry about or range anxiety (I do a lot of rural backroads WI driving)
This idea deserve some attention. Superchargers already work most of the time on cold, but on extreme cold... there's a few that stopped working. Yes it's only a few, but having close 100% uptime would be nice to have. Surely there's energy that will be wasted for heating, but I'm sure tesla can try to minimize the waste with their software and analytics data (for example pre-heat the target supercharger when needed if someone navigates to it).
did you fix the windshield cracking when starting from a really cold temperature to defrost directly? I have at least one fried that got a cracked windshield because of that. Windshield was replaced under warranty. The guy at the service center told him to never use defrost or max temperature directly. He said heat the car for a few minutes... and then use defrost after that.
We took 4,000+ miles Christmas Road trip in our Tesla model 3 long range. Average temperature outside - minus 15 degrees Celsius. We had the best trip ever, Tesla is the best car out there right now. Completely stable on ice too, factory installed all weather tires. That's what not one but two engines (actually electric motors) do for you on ice. Thank you Tesla! ❤
@@markuschammas3056 never had a single issue with regenerative breaking. Drove on pure ice in the mountains in Colorado and then South Dakota. Even a car right in front of us got hit by an oncoming pick up truck that lost control. But if not comfortable - simply turn of regenerative breaking. Let me guess - you already knew that, right? Right????
I have an auto start on my truck that I use to preheat 10 minutes before I leave in the morning. I live in snow. This means my neighbors have to listen to and breath my exhaust every morning. Eager for my cybertruck
Got told by the security guard at my work I can park in the garage because it's starting to sleet and ice this past week. Mind you this is the same lady that busted me for parking there 2 weeks ago. Little did she know I set my model 3 to defrost and when I went to leave work and all the other losers in their ICE cars were waiting for them to heat up or out scrapping ice. I just hoped in and was home before their ICE cars thawed out.
@@Minurz Yet no one knows to use it, you have to have something called a "starter", and you gotta go outside and make sure the little tailpipe is clear. AND you lose range. :)
Serious question of curiosity, not a condescending question, if the cold kills the battery how can you preheat the vehicle? Or is there always enough residual battery to preheat?
If the low-current battery is also empty, this must be given a boost first to wake up the car before it can be charged. Normally, there will be enough current in the low current battery to start preheating and charging, even if the main battery is empty.
Im sure the people in Chicago dealing with winterin there evs will love this feature. Even though thousands were left stranded in there teslas cause the chargers failed in the cold. My friend 2014 car gas has this feature.
Yes. There’s a scheduled cabin condition feature that you can set a time for. Weekdays only or every day. This is for summer or winter where it can make the cabin comfortable for you. But even without that, if you do it manually, it’s pretty much ready by the time you use the bathroom and get dressed.
Can you make it configurable if the mirrors fold in please. In really icy weather outside my house I want the mirrors to stay out…. Saves defrost time as they get frozen in
It already IS configurable, under ‘mirrors’ in the settings. I always turn off automatic fold and tilt in winter to protect them from potential damage.
As someone who lives somewhere where it can often get very cold in winter but also very hot in summer, being able to toggle the climate control before even approaching my car is huge.
You dont even have to turn it on just set up your calendar and it will send the address and preheat on its own. I use a third party app but i think its part of Tesla as well. Nothing raises the cost of power like preheating outside in subzero temps. My alexa is connected and set on my wake up alarm with my coffee pot. Life is good FYI FSD works pretty decent on snow covered roads that arent to busy. The un insulated roof glass really has to be covered in winter and make sure you turn on the rear heater fan.
Tesla doesn't comment on the Chicago debacle, just posts a video on how to use your car smarter in the winter. I love it lol. I had no issues with the Model Y or the Taycan. You fail to plan, you plan to fail.
I just saw more FUD on this today. A RUclips channel raving about EVs in Australia in the cold. All most likely from non-owners, people who probably never even drove an electric car.

No, though the manual says not to let the car sit for long periods of time at temperatures lower than -40°C/F. Those are actual thermometer temps, as wind chill doesn't affect the internal temp of the battery packs. I have driven my Model 3 after it sat outside all night at -40°C and -38°C and the only noticeable thing was reduced acceleration due to the cold battery for a few minutes. The battery warmed up after a few minutes and then the car had full acceleration.
Great feature at least you don't have to scrape of the snow of your car like those gasoline ones never fails to impress me with all your features and other things you make
If you advertise 300mi range, then in the cold, you are supposed to stay over 30% and only charge to 80%. So you are only using 50% capacity(150miles). If your range is cut by 30%, you are down to 100 miles or range after "filling up". To make matters worse for people who park outside or have no heating in their garages, the battery discharges to keep itself warm. So, if you lose 5-10% a day for battery maintenance, that's 10-20 miles out of your 100 mile usable range.
You can checkout all the videos of people who live in Canada and Alaska with Tesla as their only cars. They make it work just fine. Oh also all the Scandinavian countries that have like a 80% EV population and just last year they had over 50% of their vehicles sold be EVs. So clearly they work fine in the cold.
Fanboys gonna fan... Norway's entire population is like less than 5M. And the vast majority use public transportation in their daily commute, especially in the cities like Oslo. That's like the entire state of Alabama. The forecasted temps are in the mid-40s starting Monday. Chicago and Toronto are 10 degrees lower. Norwegian's well-heeled Tesla owners can spend thousands to have heated garages and chargers. There's no comparison.@@ProXcaliber
@@paranoidhumanoid You don't have to take my word for it. You can easily find videos of them doing test and all sorts of other things here on RUclips fairly easily. One of my personal favorites is Bjørn Nyland, for content regarding this. He does all sorts of EV tests in very cold conditions, from all brands that offer EVs. Another good one is OutofSpecReviews. Again, feel free to look them up, I'm sure you can learn a thing or two about owning and living with an EV in cold climates and below freezing temperatures. This isn't like it was 10 or 13 years ago, and they've come a long way since those early days.
You can just precondition without heating the cabin if the battery is low on charge. look under the schedule button in the app. You set the time to start preconditioning the battery there. The video doesn't cover that. Sigh!
look under the schedule button in the app. You set the time to start preconditioning the battery there. The video doesn't cover that. Sigh! The drivers in chicago needed to know and do this with extremely cold conditions before they drove to the charger so the battery is warm enough to accept a charge. Otherwise expect an extra 30 min at the charger wasting time and blocking others from charging. The news media didn't know this either.
@@ProXcaliber VW cars had it 15 years ago... On key, you had a button to turn the heating inside a car... From modern cars, Volvo has an app to start your car, heating, whatever, Mercedes also has it, and so on.. Also, you have the company "Webasto" who have been making remote heaters for cars, trucks and so on, for more than 60 years... You Tesla fanboys need to relax, there are companies who are making cars for 100 years, and you think Tesla did something first haha Btw. Fun fact, do you know that the first car ever made, was electric? Now you know.

woooow. What an innovation. Finally a parking heater arrived in the Teslas :) My webasto available for my Audi as option 15 years back is doing it as well :D Since a long time :)
Needs a defrost for the charge port door and the port itself. Mines been iced up since it drove through powdery snow. Glad it's home to use a hair dryer on, be up a creek if at a charging station trying to pick ice out of the hole. Handled like an ace through 100 miles of howling fresh midwest powder. If the port had a sealed screw on cap over the port like my old chevy gasser, well, let's just say defrosting the windows via an app isn't all you need to convert a California car to midwest driving.

Teslas have had this feature for many years, it's not new. People just don't read the manual.
Thousands???
Where do you get this from?
look under the schedule button in the app. You set the time to start preconditioning the battery there. The video doesn't cover that. Sigh!

Can you put in on a timer so it happens automatically when you need to go to work/school each morning?
Yes. There’s a scheduled cabin condition feature that you can set a time for. Weekdays only or every day. This is for summer or winter where it can make the cabin comfortable for you. But even without that, if you do it manually, it’s pretty much ready by the time you use the bathroom and get dressed.

Perfect time for tesla to come out with this ad. Marketing department on ❤🔥
exactly. i was looking for this comment lol
Can you make it configurable if the mirrors fold in please. In really icy weather outside my house I want the mirrors to stay out…. Saves defrost time as they get frozen in
It already IS configurable, under ‘mirrors’ in the settings. I always turn off automatic fold and tilt in winter to protect them from potential damage.
As someone who lives somewhere where it can often get very cold in winter but also very hot in summer, being able to toggle the climate control before even approaching my car is huge.
That is NICE for when you have it parked in the garage and need to heat it up before work or school
Comes standard on all models too at no extra cost 🤯
I live in Oregon and just did this a couple days ago.
You dont even have to turn it on just set up your calendar and it will send the address and preheat on its own. I use a third party app but i think its part of Tesla as well.
Nothing raises the cost of power like preheating outside in subzero temps. My alexa is connected and set on my wake up alarm with my coffee pot. Life is good FYI FSD works pretty decent on snow covered roads that arent to busy.
The un insulated roof glass really has to be covered in winter and make sure you turn on the rear heater fan.
World best car
Tesla doesn't comment on the Chicago debacle, just posts a video on how to use your car smarter in the winter. I love it lol. I had no issues with the Model Y or the Taycan. You fail to plan, you plan to fail.
Shush! Don't question the NARRATIVE
When is the new Performance model coming out?
This year ofc
Wow. I have a 2012 Diesel Audi S5 that has a Webasto auxiliary system that does exactly the same thing.
"Evs suck in the winter!! 😡"
Reality: 🍷🗿
I just saw more FUD on this today. A RUclips channel raving about EVs in Australia in the cold. All most likely from non-owners, people who probably never even drove an electric car.
Not the reality. You don't own one and probably drive a base model Honda Civic.
@@URsooomad8613 I don't own one yet, planning to very soon, I've rented them 2 times before and it was great, also I have common sense so that helps, I know exactly what the reality is
@@nathansuss There it isss of course you don't own one😂 And the fact that you have had to rent cars in your past tells me you don't have enough cash to buy one soon, keep dreaming big tho lil homie!
@@URsooomad8613 they were rented for vacations with my parents so it made sense to try them out?? Bro talks like he knows anything about me lol. 21 years old and I can indeed afford one while still maxing out my Roth IRA, but thanks for the good luck 🤣
Does it work with a frozen battery that does not have enough charge because of the cold outside!?
No it does not
Well, no, but you don't need a clear windshield if you can't leave the driveway
Nope, and people are gonna find that out the hard way😂
Please explain what a frozen battery is?
Thank you!!!;)
As a resident of Chicago, I see this as an absolute win
*Windshield cracking noices*
Easy!
Is there a temp at which the tesla has issues? I've been seeing videos of e-cars stuck because of the battery in the cold.
No, though the manual says not to let the car sit for long periods of time at temperatures lower than -40°C/F. Those are actual thermometer temps, as wind chill doesn't affect the internal temp of the battery packs. I have driven my Model 3 after it sat outside all night at -40°C and -38°C and the only noticeable thing was reduced acceleration due to the cold battery for a few minutes. The battery warmed up after a few minutes and then the car had full acceleration.
Not really, no. Only at temps where all other cars would have issues. Range drops when it gets colder of course.
look under the schedule button in the app. You set the time to start preconditioning the battery there. The video doesn't cover that. Sigh!
One day Optimus will ride Teslas and do our errands for us 😁
Great feature at least you don't have to scrape of the snow of your car like those gasoline ones never fails to impress me with all your features and other things you make
This has been on gas cars for years and years💀 Do you ever leave your cave?😂
@@URsooomad8613Not as standard, and completely illegal in some countries.
You just lie and lie.
Name a country where it's illegal.@@fredbloggs5902
@fredbloggs5902 Nobody cares about other countries, and sounds like you can't afford it because you're a broke boi.
Sad, so sad.
@@fredbloggs5902 his comment did not lie, you're just feeling hella aggressive 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
If you advertise 300mi range, then in the cold, you are supposed to stay over 30% and only charge to 80%. So you are only using 50% capacity(150miles). If your range is cut by 30%, you are down to 100 miles or range after "filling up". To make matters worse for people who park outside or have no heating in their garages, the battery discharges to keep itself warm. So, if you lose 5-10% a day for battery maintenance, that's 10-20 miles out of your 100 mile usable range.
if you care more about 1% of battery degradation because of fullcharging instead of your comfort and safety then i don't know what to say.
You can checkout all the videos of people who live in Canada and Alaska with Tesla as their only cars. They make it work just fine. Oh also all the Scandinavian countries that have like a 80% EV population and just last year they had over 50% of their vehicles sold be EVs. So clearly they work fine in the cold.
Fanboys gonna fan... Norway's entire population is like less than 5M. And the vast majority use public transportation in their daily commute, especially in the cities like Oslo. That's like the entire state of Alabama. The forecasted temps are in the mid-40s starting Monday. Chicago and Toronto are 10 degrees lower. Norwegian's well-heeled Tesla owners can spend thousands to have heated garages and chargers. There's no comparison.@@ProXcaliber
@@paranoidhumanoid You don't have to take my word for it. You can easily find videos of them doing test and all sorts of other things here on RUclips fairly easily. One of my personal favorites is Bjørn Nyland, for content regarding this. He does all sorts of EV tests in very cold conditions, from all brands that offer EVs. Another good one is OutofSpecReviews. Again, feel free to look them up, I'm sure you can learn a thing or two about owning and living with an EV in cold climates and below freezing temperatures. This isn't like it was 10 or 13 years ago, and they've come a long way since those early days.
You don't need to stay over 30%. 10% is fine. Driving down to 0% is fine too, as long as you charge immediately.
Now how about that battery? Will that also defrost?
my lawn caught fire. thanks elon
Gotta love Tesla!❤
Well, the brain dead do.
No. No you don't.💀
@@TeslasRforTwinks yeah yeah I do🤓
@Elijahcaballero. That tells me you also love Men.
@@TeslasRforTwinks if you say so.. but now why would you say that
Love how it uses 10% of your battery while doing it
Only if you leave it on for like 3 hours
You don’t own a Tesla
You can just precondition without heating the cabin if the battery is low on charge. look under the schedule button in the app. You set the time to start preconditioning the battery there. The video doesn't cover that. Sigh!
I do it every morning in nothern Italy, hell yeah!!!
Tesla's defrost function is powerful. The same feature exists in Hyundai, but it takes longer and doesn't work as well as Tesla.
sooo you're telling me all that Chicago had to do was click a button????????
look under the schedule button in the app. You set the time to start preconditioning the battery there. The video doesn't cover that. Sigh!
The drivers in chicago needed to know and do this with extremely cold conditions before they drove to the charger so the battery is warm enough to accept a charge. Otherwise expect an extra 30 min at the charger wasting time and blocking others from charging. The news media didn't know this either.
Ahh yes, perfect for the Soviet Union!
And for all comrades!
This but also please give us framed windows so the doors work in the cold
You shoul implement that on the charger stations lol
Tesla stating to realize these little videos make a major marketing difference
Other cars had this feature 10 years ago 😂
What's next, Tesla rain sensors haha
@@jdalbion you just sound dumb when you exaggerate like that lol
@@jdalbion What other car?
@@jdalbionwhat other car as standard? Without going to a higher trim or paying extra for the option, or paying a subscription? I’d like to know.
@@ProXcaliber VW cars had it 15 years ago... On key, you had a button to turn the heating inside a car... From modern cars, Volvo has an app to start your car, heating, whatever, Mercedes also has it, and so on..
Also, you have the company "Webasto" who have been making remote heaters for cars, trucks and so on, for more than 60 years...
You Tesla fanboys need to relax, there are companies who are making cars for 100 years, and you think Tesla did something first haha
Btw. Fun fact, do you know that the first car ever made, was electric? Now you know.
That costs 20% of your battery.
look under the schedule button in the app. You set the time to start preconditioning the battery there. The video doesn't cover that. Sigh! Don't have to defrost if battery is low.

nope. more like 3-5%
일론머스크같은 사람이 인류를 발전시키는거 같다.
woooow. What an innovation. Finally a parking heater arrived in the Teslas :) My webasto available for my Audi as option 15 years back is doing it as well :D Since a long time :)
And there goes 50km
Gay
so what happens in a hot sunny noon time. can we start the ac like this to nice cold car
Needs a defrost for the charge port door and the port itself. Mines been iced up since it drove through powdery snow. Glad it's home to use a hair dryer on, be up a creek if at a charging station trying to pick ice out of the hole.
Handled like an ace through 100 miles of howling fresh midwest powder. If the port had a sealed screw on cap over the port like my old chevy gasser, well, let's just say defrosting the windows via an app isn't all you need to convert a California car to midwest driving.
Handled superb till it was time to top off the electrons!
Oh wow! A feature that most other cars on the market already have!
Thinking this is impressive/innovative is just sad and pitiful
Tesla stays taking Ls😂
Can they do it without starting their engines? Maybe warm the car up inside the garage with the door shut?
@@mr.anderson70Breathing in Carbon Monoxide for 20 seconds while you get in your car and back out of the garage isn't going to harm you in the slightest.
Well, maybe a Tesla Snowflake, but what doesn't hurt those babies?😂
Remote Start on ICE cars is NOT standard on many cars and is actually illegal in some countries.
@fredbloggs5902 If you can't afford it, then don't buy a car broke boi. And nobody cares about other countries or their laws🥱🥱
@@mr.anderson70 why do you need to defrost a car inside of a garage? seems like tesla brainrot is a real thing
Worth getting up just to try this feature😂
차 품질이나 좋아졌으면 기본적인 앞프렁크 자동은 언제 기술 배울까?
And it also heats your seats (front and back), heats your steering wheel, heats the windshield wipers. So much better than the old ICE 'remote start'.
And the side mirrors.
