My Tesla Model X 100D looses 25-40% of range in the winter (and by "winter, I mean 20-50F, as I live in Virginia). This is partially due to resistance heating, and the range is better if you're somehow able to live with keeping the heat off and using just the steering wheel and seat heaters.
However, one thing I've never gotten used to is just how cold my feet get in the winter in this car. Even with the heat at full blast, the footwells are quite cold. This is a very different experience from most ICE cars I've owned, where engine heat blows directly on your feet and keeps them toasty.
- pitaj 4y agoNot having enough hot air on the feet is a common issue across cars in general, from my experience.
- drewg123 4y agoThis car takes it to an entirely new level. I've never had to use heated socks in any other car I've owned, including horrible old 80s economy cars I owned in Buffalo, NY.
- darknavi 4y agoVery odd. I noticed my Model 3's floor gets quite warm in the winter on long road trips (like warm to the touch).
