air conditioner

Just took my 2013 Model S P85 (50k miles) in due to some AC issues. The AC was making weird sounds and wasn’t working all that great. The vehicle is obviously out of warranty. Initially the estimate came back with a receiver and dryer cap replacement, desiccant bag replacement, high pressure...

2019 M3 RWD This issue happened at the end of last summer 2 or 3 times but has persisted this summer on days the temp is over 95 degrees. When car is parked or driving under about 30 mph the a/c will continuously turn on and off while blowing warm, humid air. As soon as I am able to get onto a...

I'm a new owner of a 2019 Model 3 and I encountered a strange A/C behavior yesterday. My wife was driving and I was in the passenger seat. She parked the car and went into a business meeting while I worked on my laptop in the passenger seat. Outside temperature was 9C (48F) while cabin...

It's only happening under the glove box, it's not a super big problem but it actually bothers me. I brings it to Tesla service they said they took apart the cabin filter and inspected for debris on the blower motor and found nothing. However, it was fine when it was back from service, so I was...

Hey all- Running into a few strange issues with my MYLR. I took it to the local Service Center on Thursday to get my shattered windshield replaced. Ever since I picked up the car on that afternoon, I've noticed some strange issue. My TPMS continuously says my front right tire is low. I check...

Short version: I replaced the compressor in my 2014 Model S just two years ago. Service is telling me it has failed again and want to charge me $4000 for the full fix. Something feels off about all this, and so I'm seeking advice. Longer version: In 2019, I bought a used 2014 Model S85. I...

I just completed my first road trip from San Diego to Dallas and back again taking different routes. Each way the trip was done in 3 days with an average of 4-7 hours of driving a day. This drive occurred while temperatures in the Southwest soared to as high as 117. I found the supercharger...

Just got my MY a few days ago. It is extremely hot where I am at so the ac has been running a lot and on high settings. It makes a very loud whine that you can hear both inside and out. I tested it with the heat on and don’t hear anything, so maybe a coolant pump issue? Just wanted to see if...

As an imminent MY customer, I've been paying attention to the various threads about Heat pump problems. At the moment these are mostly stories of inoperative cabin heating/defrosting in extreme winter conditions. However, there are also older threads floating around about weak or occasionally...

I actually started noticing this last year around this time but it mostly went away during the summer months because the fan speeds were usually much higher. It's a high pitch, high frequency, "clicking" sound coming from the climate system. It's not a very loud sound, but very noticeable at fan...

A fellow Hungarian was tapping in to the computer the other day and found this: UI_solarData UI_solarElevationAngle: 56deg UI_solarAzimuthAngle: 126deg UI_solarAzimuthAngleCarRef: 48deg UI_isSunUp: YES He claims that the car uses this information and adjusts the vents accordingly (when using...

After I enter my PIN to drive my climate settings change to different ones. The fan speed and sometime temperature will become different. Are there two different climate control settings? One for PARK and one for DRIVE?

Hi folks, A quick few notes. I normally get around 135 Wh/km on highways in weather where I need no AC, heat, or open windows. Maybe windows are cracked a tiny bit, or low speed fan-only. LR AWD is rated for 150 Wh/km from what I can gather. Temperatures in degrees C. Range in km. Because...

In response to "Lanzer's" post on fixing your AC Smell, I want to show people how to fix their Tesla themselves from a video I made. It seems that some Service Centers cover it under warranty and some do not. I did not want to pay $200 dollars and asked the service center questions on how to do...

I keep a car cover on my Model 3 and have noticed the AC is running frequently even though I don't have my cell phone nearby to trigger it to start like I'm entering. It appears to happen most frequently when temperature outside is above 85. Is it possible the car cover is blocking some cooling...

I received an estimate from Tesla for a 12kw + 2 Powerwalls system. But I was told that the Powerwalls cannot support the air conditioners. I have 2: 3 Ton: RLA 24.4, LRA 140.0 4 Ton: RLA 16.0, LRA 82.0 Has anyone ran into this issue or have any idea on how I'll be able to support having air...

For the past couple weeks, my air conditioning smells terrible (like vomit) for a few minutes, then eventually goes away. I checked my frunk to make sure nothing was left there, but cannot figure out why this is happening. The smell seems to be more and more noticeable recently. Does anyone...

Winter questions - 1. I remember with my Model S, the heater kinda sucked. My feet were never warm. How is it with Model 3 with an outside temp. of around 10F? 2. Model S dual motor gave you better range, better handling, better acceleration. Why is this not true for Model 3? Do you have...

I’ve noticed lately that I have a vibration from what seems like the air conditioner. The vibration is really only felt when parked with the A/C on. It is best described as the same feeling/sound you get when a large truck passes you and causes a sound/vibration in your car. I believe I...

is it possible to leave the temp setting on auto, but turn off the a/c? I can do this in our past Audi's and Volvo's.....have a long trip later today, was thinking I could save some energy by keeping the compressor off.

In my first month of a drive, I have driven 1400 miles. I drive in DC Metro traffic every day in this Nov-Dec Cold Weather. I noticed that my average power consumption has been 330 KWh/m. I drive about 22 miles one way and 50 miles round trip in a day with average time on road being about 50-65...

Very unscientific test. - I have a LR AWD Model 3 currently running on the 18” Aero winter package. - Most mornings I do the same drive - first I drive my son to school, and then I head down to work. The drive from my son’s school to my office in downtown Toronto is apx. 17.6 km (just shy of 11...

Obviously this is a personal choice, and everyone may have a different view, but now that the cold weather is starting to appear, and it will only be getting colder, just wondering what people have been setting their cabin temp (with the objective of minimizing range hit)? It may change when it...

OK, again, why do we not have a section or two of this board dedicated to issues across the entire model lines? Like "Software" or "Interior" or "Repairs", when I post to the Tesla, Inc. section of the board I feel like it should be related to hiring or stocks or PR. Anyway: Every car I have...

I'm still new to my Model 3. Sometimes I notice that the car is heating (red user interface for the HVAC) when I really just want low AC. If I set the temp to 74 and it's already 73 then it seems to want to turn on the heater to change that 1 degree. There should really be a software toggle for...

Question for you guys regarding the HVAC. #1 Is the heated mirror pretty ineffective for you guys? It takes 10 minutes for water droplets to go away on heated mode. #2 In all automatic mode, how do I know if the air is in recir or fresh air? Does it go between both? #3 I don't have...

Am I missing something or is it a multi step process to turn on or off the air conditioning compressor?

This might seem like odd question, but I can't find any literature to answer it. The climate control in the Model X (and S) is pretty much automatic unless you manually set the blower controls. When it's in automatic mode, does anyone know if the compressor and heater are constantly active to...

When I turn on the A/C in my Roadster 1.5, the A/C light comes on, but often the heater led also comes on by itself a little bit later, which doesn't seem right to me. I thought *maybe* the car uses a fan from the heater unit to help flow A/C air or something, but can't think of any other...

Can you control things like seat heaters and steering wheel heater via the API or apps (which I guess is really the same thing). If not is there any good reason why you can't do this when you can control climate? Or is this a case of they didn't bother adding it to the UI when they added this...

We need a heater on/off button, similar to the AC on/off. I picked-up my car in May so I haven't spent a winter in it yet. The other day, it was 70-degrees (F) but humid in the early evening. I turned the AC on to take the humidity edge off, but with the temp set at 70-degrees, I felt a little...

I confess that I did not thoroughly scour the forums for this answer, so kindly redirect me if warranted. I took delivery on 4/1/13 in Anchorage, AK (no joke), and while winter is trying to give way to spring, the arctic forces are ahead at the moment. At any rate, the temperature last week...
