TESLA OVERNIGHT EXTREME TEMPS TEST
#2
(-40°)
Car was parked at 7:15pm
Car is unplugged
Battery: 78%
Sentry: OFF
Current temp: -32°C / -26°F

I’ll have the car parked for 12 hours and will report battery drain in the morning.
Additionally, I’m going to…
Just bought a new TESLA and it won’t let me use it unless I create a TESLA account, which also means giving their AI access to my CAR! This is messed up.
There HAS NEVER BEEN an option to skip signing into or creating a TESLA account.
Are you seeing this too?

It’s no wonder you are struggling to sell F-150 Lightnings in Alberta, 🇨🇦. We walked into a Ford dealership in Edmonton today, ready to spend $100,000 on a new EV. This Lightning Platinum (pictured below) is listed for $107,105. We looked at the truck, test…
Last night I was talking to my wife about the $TSLA earnings call and the drop in the stock immediately following. Her reaction was “well that’s good cause we can buy more stock” and I’ve never been more proud in my life. 🥲
Honest reasons why my Tesla is a superior winter vehicle compared to my work truck (GMC Sierra):
Regardless of outside temperature, and whether it’s in a garage or outside, I can have the cabin to 22°C within 5 minutes.
I don’t have to use my brakes (once warmed up).…
I drive an ICE Vehicle for work and a Tesla for personal kms.
All I hear from doubters is “it takes too long to charge” “I don’t have 3 hours to sit at a charger” “EV’s don’t work in the winter”, all of which are completely false.
Meanwhile, it’s now -10°C in Alberta and it…

This photo was taken from the World Naked Bike Ride, a clothing optional bike ride promoting body positivity. That said, I do believe this is indecent exposure, but cherry picking 1 photo and changing the narrative to meet your dialogue is wrong.
@CommunityNotes
My theory is that this is an intentional leak. MKBHD would have filmed this days if not weeks ago. He would have an iron clad agreement with Tesla on what could be released a when. This is a planned drop and 100% would have been cleared by Tesla. 0% chance this is an oversight.…

While this is true, birth control can also have positive effects on women.
Further, use caution when taking birth control advice from a man with 11 children
Powerwall alternative loophole:
Buy an old Model S with free lifetime supercharging.
Buy a Tesla bidirectional charger (V2G/V2H)
Charge Car, drive home, power home with 100 kWh car battery for a few days. Repeat.
Never pay for electricity again.
Ok, for everyone that wants to see this test, I’m gonna do it. I’m going to park out on the street overnight, and first thing in the morning, I’ll do the same warmup test (heat to +20°C, timed) as I’ve done before. At this point, the car will be a block of ice.

RESULTS ARE IN!
BATTERY % AFTER 12 HOURS: 74%
Cabin Temp: -29°C / -20°F
Outside temp: -34°C / -29°F
Door handles functioned normally
Windows rolled down when I entered the car to protect them because they are frameless
Car drive just fine without preconditioning
RESULTS ARE IN!
Outside temp at time of test: -37°C / -35°F
Test Start: 8:59am
Cabin temp at start: -29°C / -20°F
Test End: 9:19am
Cabin temp at end: 20°C / 68°F
20 minutes to heat from -30°C to +20°C, a 50 degree swing!
I also did one more test…I jumped in the car…

COLD WEATHER TEST
#2
:
It’s -33°C outside, -11°C in the cabin.
The car has been parked for 4 hours.
It is not plugged in.
On defrost, how long to get the cabin temperature to 20°C
And, how much battery (%) will it take to warm the car?
TESL EXTREME COLD CAMPING MODE TEST
Ok, for those that asked for it, I brought the car to work today instead of the truck and I have it outside, unplugged, and in Camp Mode with a cabin set to 21°C / 70°F.
Average temp over next 4 hours: -30°C
Current Battery Charge: 61%…

BATTERY USED FOR TEST:
Overnight from 8:45pm - 8:59am the battery went from 78% - 71%, a loss of 7% for 12 hours in -40° temps with Sentry on.
The test began at 71% and depleted to 66% by time we hit 20°C, a loss of an additional 5%.
Total loss from parking the car to…
Just my very own 🇨🇦 hot take: If Tesla was serious about selling the Cybertruck as a legitimate work truck and industry disruptor, why are they only found in the showrooms in Vancouver and Toronto? Numbers will show EV adoption is high there, but not provincial truck sales. Major…
Just to ruin Community Notes attempt (I know it’s already being voted on), this IS NOT a dead EV. It’s a damn Chev that is stuck in the snow. Pay attention people. Also, my account is literally that of a Tesla Model 3, why would I be bashing EV’s???
It’s currently -38C here in Edmonton, -45C (-49F) with wind chill. My truck (ICE) barely started and has been warming up for 30 minutes. My Tesla took 8 minutes and is ready to go. Honestly prefer the EV over an ICE vehicle in these conditions. How about you

Ok fine. I’ve had so many requests for this so tonight I will run the same test but with Sentry Mode turned OFF.
Then I’m going to do this test:
With the car at approx -30° cabin temperature, I’m going to get in the car, and drive it to my garage without any preconditioning or…

I need your AutoPilot pro help. I’m fairly new to this but today on a two lane Hwy on auto pilot or cruise my M3 would slam on the brakes anytime an oncoming semi approached. This can’t be normal.

Tesla should make it clear what this button does. Most people I talk to believe it’s a way to remote start the car and turn on climate. They don’t realize that it enables the car to drive without a key. This needs to be clearer, or perhaps needs a name change

You have about 18 months remaining where you have the best and most cost effective EV Truck on the market.

Small detail, yes, but anyone else notice the Cybertruck visor? Appears to be on an adjustable track due to the size and length of the windshield. Would be nice to see this in the X if this is how I am imagining it.
Here’s a fun photo I snapped while taking the car back to the garage. The fog seen here is called “ice fog”. This is in essence, the air freezing. At about -40° the humidity in the air freezes and becomes ice crystals, forming what looks like a fog.
“Ice fog is a type of fog…

My father has been wanting an electric truck for a couple years now. We’ve gone together and looked at a few Lightnings and he really likes the upcoming GMC Sierra Denali EV. Every time we talk about or look at EV’s I always tell him to just wait for the Cybertruck and he laughs…

It’s not a vs test it’s a capabilities test. It would be safe to assume anyone that had to do this in real world scenarios would want their Sentry running too. This will show them that it’s possible.
@LauraLoomer
Are you planning on retracting this post and terrible statement, Laura? Or are you just going to switch to a government coverup narrative?
NOTE: TEST KILLED
Apologies to all waiting but I had to kill this test less than an hour into it because I had to leave the office. I will run this test again in the near future. Stay tuned.
@thom_mill1
If you look at true cost of ownership of an EV vs and ICE (in similar category), EV’s aren’t more expensive. A $60k EV is cheaper than a $40k ICE in many cases over 8 years by upwards of 20%. I run these models constantly as it’s my job as a fleet manager.

First off, before I jump down someone’s throat and call them a liar I like to browse their profile for evident bias. This account (David) seems to be a good advocate for EV’s but does appear to show a slight negative bias towards Tesla, which is fine as those are his opinions.…

Ummm, Danielle, the current rates in Alberta have more than tripled under the UCP rule. Are you doing anything to combat that? Or are you more focused on the “it’s all Trudeaus fault” narrative?
FSD Testers going through life not realizing we’ve collectively funded and provided R&D to Tesla on the development of a multi-billion dollar asset with absolutely zero return to us.
It’s time for us to demand FSD transferability, before it’s a $50k+ add on.
For some clarity, FSD TRANSFER IS NOT TIED TO A TRADE IN.
Tesla famously undervalues trade-ins. This new FSD Transfer is NOT tied to a trade in. You can simply buy a new Model 3/Y/S/X, transfer your FSD, and then privately sell your existing vehicle (or don’t sell it if you…

This is a perfect example of cherry picking random data to make a story that fits your narrative. I’d argue this isn’t ‘worth further investigation” as much as it requires further reading of the investigations that have already been done.
COLD WEATHER TEST: FORD LIGHTNING
TIME: 9:30PM
BATTERY: 70%
CURRENT TEMP: -20°C / -4°F
OVERNIGHT LOW: -23°C / -9°F
Will park the truck for 10 hours, unplugged.
What will the batter % read at 7:30am?
TESLA TIPS: When your wife / significant takes the car you can pause, mute, or change the song from your phone if you don’t like it. Even if you’re still at home, or even in another country!
You can also mess with the climate control.
I challenge Omar (
@WholeMarsBlog
) that before he cashes in a penny of what he’s raising to purchase a Cybertruck that he adjusts his campaign to give 80% to local charities to lift up his community. You often speak of a homeless problem in San Fran, why not use your influence…
