The cold effects the range a lot. Here's my experience from the last two years. I have a 2023 MYP and I'm NJ. I get 120 miles from a charge of 95% down to 5% in the winter. In the summer, I got 180 miles. Yeah those are real world range numbers driving in chill mode and using the car like a normal person (mixed highway/city driving , heat on etc). Still a great car if you don't have to drive far. I supercharge once a week during off peak hours and it cost $15 and takes 45 mins.
I wonder while using FSD, if Chill mode even matters for all of this? Regarding the driving feel, I don’t notice a difference when I change it to Chill, in FSD.
The entire purpose of the frameless windows dropping upon opening is to break any ice seal on the window. Any ice-bound adhesion strong enough to defeat the window-drop feature is ice _strong enough to shatter the window glass if you yanked the door open while the window is still frozen to the frame._
That’s not entirely true. Tesla wanted a more premium feel, so they used frameless windows on their cars. In order for the window to avoid ripping out the trim of the vehicle, they made the window lower upon opening.
That’s correct. Straight out of Tesla’s manual they say to use chill mode (acceleration) not sport because it lets the computer allocate more resources towards other things like the climate system. When in sport mode it has to be ready within milliseconds to apply full power to the motors. Somehow that leads to more energy loss
@@Adventures_with_nick but begs the question... if the battery is cold you get low regen. My LFP battery gives me next to no regen if the battery is at 0 degrees C. So wouldn't that mean I'll have more efficient heating and less efficient driving due to lower regen needing to use the brakes more.... I never have the power limit in the cold either

With your 1st hand experience, what lift, wheel, and tire setup would you recommend. I live off grid in northern California with my 2024 myp
Great video! Heat pumps are so cool.

@@BogeyTheBear yes, that’s why if you don’t see the window come down when it’s frozen, don’t pull

@@FreeFlightGuy How can you say _"That's not true"_ and then repeat the very thing I wrote?
Chill mode? Like the acceleration mode or what? I'm confused by the first tip
