Winter is the ultimate stress test for electric vehicles. We all know the fear of watching your range drop by 30-50% in freezing temperatures. While most legacy automakers solve this by installing inefficient PTC heaters (basically giant hair dryers that burn battery life), Tesla took a completely different approach.
[What's in this video] In this video, we tear down the "Octovalve" and Super Manifold—the alien-looking heart of Tesla's thermal management system. We'll explain how this piece of engineering genius "steals" heat from thin air, and even uses the motor's waste heat (Lossy Mode) to keep you warm without killing your battery.
