I think that would wholely depend on the setup for the AC compressor. If it's entirely electric and sized appropriately it can be a fairly efficient mechanism.

I think that would wholely depend on the setup for the AC compressor. If it's entirely electric and sized appropriately it can be a fairly efficient mechanism. A friend of mine uses the AC in their tesla to keep pastries cold from lunch to evening commute for < 10-20 miles of range depending on ambient temperatures. Meanwhile my gas SUV idles at .3 - .5 gallons per hour depending on engine load. (4 cylinder 2.0 liter, non-turbo).
- SketchySeaBeast 7y agoThey use their Tesla like a fridge for only 10-20 miles reduction????? That's amazing both in it's apparent wastefulness and efficiency. If that's the same scale, solar charging could easily keep your AC and stereo on while you wait.
- bochoh 7y agoI believe they just set the cooling to around 64F to keep pastries from melting etc. First world problems for sure.

- zamfi 7y agoUltimately depends on how they're charging their Tesla. Could be gasified or petrified dinosaur!
