La Tesla Model Y brave le temps glacial avec brio

Un test qui fait froid dans le dos pour les véhicules électriques

In a recent real-world scenario, the resilience of electric vehicles in extreme weather conditions was put to the test. The owner of a Tesla Model Y Performance shared their experience of driving to the airport and leaving the car in freezing conditions for 36 hours.

Cette histoire met en lumière les performances des voitures électriques dans des conditions météorologiques difficiles, un sujet qui préoccupe les propriétaires potentiels de VE.

La lutte contre les éléments

The journey began on a snowy, frigid Tuesday morning with temperatures plummeting to -18°. Before setting off, the owner wisely pre-warmed the car in the garage for five minutes, ensuring a comfortable trip. Upon arrival at the airport, the Tesla Model Y’s battery was at a healthy 54%, down from a full charge at the start of the journey.

Le vrai test : Une attente gelée et une endurance surprenante de la batterie

After a 36-hour period in the brutal cold, the owner returned to find the Tesla had only dropped to 50% battery. This minimal decrease demonstrates the car’s remarkable efficiency and insulation even when not in use.

Preheating the car through the airport’s walk provided further comfort on the return journey home, which was completed with 19% battery remaining.

Rechargement à pleine puissance

Upon returning, the owner plugged in the Tesla Model Y, readying it for the next day’s use. The ease of the entire experience highlights the practicality and reliability of electric vehicles, even in less-than-ideal weather conditions.

This seemingly mundane tale of a Tesla Model Y’s encounter with freezing weather is, in fact, a testament to the advancements in electric vehicle technology.

Malgré les craintes liées à l'épuisement des batteries par temps froid, cette histoire prouve que les VE modernes tiennent étonnamment bien la charge.

And on a lighter note, the owner was at least able to open the doors of the Model Y, which are known to sometimes freeze solid in cold weather – a small victory in the face of winter’s challenges.
