I was driving (MS201875d) at about 80 km/h (50 mph) at -14°C (7°F) with heavy snow. Range mode turned on as recommended by the owners manual for best practise in cold weather. Car was preheated for 45 minutes before departure. After about 30 minutes ice started building up on the windshield so I turned on manual heating for the windshield which resulted in fog build up on all windows. I whent from bad to zero visibility in 5 seconds on a highway. That was scary with kids in car.
Tesla service tells me this is normal behaviour. Is it? My take is that I used the car as intended and then found myself in a very serious situation.
They also state that the recommendation for using range mode is not present in the manual, but it is - Cold Weather Best Practices/While Driving Model S Owner's Manual | Tesla
I feel like this issue should be handled more serious, but I like a second opinion on this.
