Tesla Heat Pump Failure in cold
Dangerous in places in Canada (where this issue has been reported) where temps are regularly below -40 Degrees Fahrenheit (-40 Degrees Celsius).
Tesla says “Current mitigations are to precondition the vehicle 30-60 minutes prior to departure, use recirculating air mode and use auto mode. Symptoms may still occur when driving in climates -15°C and below. If heat does not return please park vehicle in a warmer location and allow vehicle to warm up.”
Tesla working on software patch, unknown when it will be done.
