So I had to pick up some clients today at the airport. I like the car cold, err, car house work, everything cold. 85*F outside, it was so cold in the car on range mode, that we could all see our breath! I LOVE YOU TESLA!!

85*F outside
85? That's windows down and pano roof open temps...
But yes, the AC works great. We had a nice cool 102 in Phoenix today, but I saw 115+ last summer and the AC kept us nice and cool...
Haha, this is Wisconsin, our windows down temps are 45*F-65*F I wear shorts down to ~25*F, coat goes on at 20. My AC is set at 60

I'm driving mostly in Los Angeles and back and forth to Phoenix. The AC is on pretty much all the time. Temperatures are always 85-105. Not only does it cool well it also doesn't seem to affect range much. My average in the last 3 months is 302 Wh/mile.
And you can hear it from space.Model S has the most powerful AC that I've ever used in a car. My Prius AC was crap. You can refrigerate things in the Tesla.
When set to LO, I can pre-cool the car from about 100º F to 65º F in about 15-20 minutes when it's over 105º F outside.
David99...'sounds like your experience shows great efficiency. Question for those who have been caught in serious, hours-long, creeping along traffic jams...do you end up turning off the AC, or not? Certainly the drive train is great in such stop and go situations...but if it's 100 F out, does the AC become a source for range anxiety in such situations?

Hence the humor....<brianman_pedant_mode>
Once in the vacuum of space that would be impossible.

The AC in the MS has a variable speed motor on the compressor. Gasoline cars have a belt that goes to the compressor. No drippage? Low humidity maybe? Mine dumps so much water out on a humid day it's as if it's got a garden hose connected to it @_@Along the same subject, feel free to move if needed-Not being very mechanical-how does the a/c work in our Tesla's compared to an ICE. Why do I never see condensation drippage on my garage floor?
