HOW EXTREME HEAT IMPACTS YOUR TESLA COLOR TINT INTERIOR TESTED

EV Channels Review

This video thoroughly investigates Tesla's 'cabin overheat protection' feature under extreme heat conditions (close to 120°F). The reviewer tested multiple Tesla models (Model 3, Model X, Model S, Model Y) with varying interior colors and the cabin overheat protection both on and off. The primary finding is that the feature's effectiveness is inconsistent, particularly in the Model X and Model S, where interior temperatures soared well above the set threshold, even with the feature enabled. The Model Y, however, performed significantly better, maintaining cooler interior temperatures. The video highlights the critical danger of hot cars, noting that interior temperatures can reach lethal levels within minutes, especially for children. While the 'keep' mode in the Model 3 proved effective, the 'cabin overheat protection' in the Model X and S appears to have bugs or limitations, with the feature sometimes toggling off unexpectedly. The reviewer also touches on energy consumption for these features and offers practical tips for cooling a Tesla quickly, such as using the 'auto' climate setting and pre-conditioning.
