NOTE: You can direct the outer face level vents toward
the side windows to help defrost or defog them.
Cabin Air Filter
Model S has an air filter that prevents pollen, industrial
fallout, road dust and other particles from entering
through the vents. Tesla recommends replacing the
cabin air
filter every 2 years.
Tesla recommends replacing the HEPA air filter (if
equipped)
every 3 years.
Cabin Overheat Protection
The climate control system can reduce the temperature
of the cabin in extremely hot ambient conditions for a
period of up to twelve hours after you exit Model S.
Touch
Controls > Safety & Security > Cabin Overheat
Protection and choose:
•
OFF: Disable Cabin Overheat Protection.
•
ON: The air conditioning operates when the cabin
temperature exceeds 105° F (40° C).
NOTE: Cabin Overheat Protection operates only when
the energy remaining in the Battery is above 20%.
WARNING:
Never leave children or pets in the
vehicle unattended. Due to automatic shut-o or
extreme outside conditions, the inside of the
vehicle can become dangerously hot, even when
Cabin Overheat Protection is enabled.
Climate Control Operating Tips
•
When you use the mobile app to turn on the climate
control system, it automatically turns o after four
hours or if the charge level drops to 20%. To cool or
heat the cabin for a longer period, you must turn it
on again.
•
To conserve energy, turn on Range Mode (if
equipped) to limit the power of the climate control
system (touch
Controls > Driving > Range Mode).
Cabin heating and cooling may be less eective, but
you can use seat heaters to provide warmth in
colder climates.
•
If the climate control system is louder than you
prefer, manually reduce the fan speed.
• In addition to cooling the interior, the air
conditioning compressor also cools the Battery.
Therefore, in hot weather, the air conditioning
compressor can turn on even if you turned it
o. This
is normal because the system’s priority is to cool the
Battery to ensure it stays within an optimum
temperature range to support longevity and
optimum performance.
• Even when not in use, you may hear
Model S emit a
whining noise or the sound of water circulating.
These sounds are normal and occur when the
internal cooling systems turn on to support various
vehicle functions, such as maintaining the 12V
battery and balancing the temperature of the high
voltage Battery.
• To ensure the climate control system operates
eciently, close all windows and ensure that the
exterior grill in front of the windshield is free of ice,
snow, leaves, and other debris.
• In very humid conditions, it is normal for the
windshield to fog slightly when you
first turn on the
air conditioning.
•
It is normal for a small pool of water to form under
Model S when parked. Extra water produced by the
dehumidifying process is drained underneath.
•
To reduce the temperature in the cabin in hot
weather conditions, the fan may turn on to vent the
cabin when the vehicle is parked. This occurs only if
the battery's charge level is above 20%.
