"..a bizarre problem that was clearly caused by thermal issues..Tesla appeared to mostly fix this problem with its "cabin overheat protection" feature (which it sold as being to protect dogs and children, despite the fact that it held the temperature at +40C which is about the temperature where a child's organs will start shutting down)"
So they chose to intentionally reduce the car's range when parked in hot weather (e.g. a day hike in a forest where you need the range the most to return home) because they didn't get an automotive grade (Grade 2 instead of Grade 4) screen like every other auto manufacturer? wow..
- Kirby64 6y agoCabin overheat was never billed to protect children and dogs, as far as I know (besides Elon's tweet...). Plus, there's actual keep climate on features now that actually can keep it at whatever temperature you want. And you have the ability to turn it off completely if you want. I have to say, coming back to a car that is only 100F inside instead of 140F+ is great.
