Cold feet

[zoeconner]

For me when I start getting the battery cold warning my feet get cold. My #1 and only 1 complaint with the car. Only car I ever owned that gives me cold feet lol. At fan speed 11 I do not get a very strong air flow compared to the passenger side. Is that normal?

Should be able to manually set system to send all warm air to the floor.

Can you precondition the car before you get in?

This is one of our favorite features so the car is all toasty warm when we get in.

Also try SmartWool socks

 

[zoeconner]

Yep I do.

It's around 50deg out so I dont need to precondition.

Yes, it's not the most efficient car for feet heating. You can preheat but it's still not super efficient. I live in Canada so the problem is just between seasons... once winter is here I put on my winter boots and there's no problem.

No more smoking, and get an ultrasound with ABIs for good measure.

Good thought / suggestion on checking distal flow.

I hear you.
As someone whose only body part that gets cold [ even at below 32F ] is feet and only feet, I can understand your situation. In fact I am in it. And Coming from an ICE car, I really feel the lack of warm air flow to my feet.

To start with, I agree with getting dopplers on your legs, and risk factor modification, if any of those are applicable

Second, try SmartWool or DarnTough [ latter Made in Vermont and lifetime warranty !! ] Socks.
Also if your feet are cold and you are in your *winter boots* get them out of the boots, boots are heat insulators, when you are our and about they keep cold out and heat in, but if your feet are cold, they are hindering the warm air from warming your feet.

Thirdly see what model MS you haveand if following is applicable to you
Some one used a FLIR sensor, and noted that [hot] air was misdirected. [ 2014 model ]

Lastly, consider to Invest $5 and carry a small power bank to power them

Three years ago, my first-ever big road trip using superchargers, and... my feet got really cold. I guess my only point is that it's an old problem, but not a big one. I think it's a seasonal thing:
Autumn: cold feet
Winter: vampire drain/reduced range
Spring: s'all good
Summer: AC is this loud?

I haven't checked, maybe there are still some to buy (because of the postage, I'd prefer author to sell the model for printer).

 

[zoeconner]

Just bought one thanks.

Well I installed it and we will see how it goes. Definitely very low quality but if it works awesome. Where are you supposed to have it? pushed forward or pushed back. Not sure why it wasnt just made wider.

Site says it doesn’t work with the 2013 Model S. Any ideas that might work for the early models?

Push it towards the "firewall" or closer to the frunk. (Thats what the video shows)
