    Tesla Model Y just works so well in every scenario. Had 38°C yesterday, and 6 months ago minus 30°C. Model Y rocks it all, best car ever driven. And I had more than 12 cars over my lifetime. Audi, Mercedes, Gm, Ford none were anywhere as good.

    I live in Canada where we will go 40c in the summer and -30c in the winter and my model Y HVAC has absolutely crushed every other vehicle in this regard. It's amazing how well it works.

    It's truly amazing how well the Model Y performs in Norway. I see the car EVERYWHERE here, in snowy mountains, mud roads, dense forest roads... people at all walks and jobs in life really love this car. It's a great car all around and the fact that it's an EV makes it so freaking fun to drive. I've never been in a car that handles the Norwegian climate so good before. Truly amazing products are rare but this is definitely one of them

    USING my Tesla Model 3 Performance in the Austrian, Italian and the Swiss Alps for two years in deep snop, even steepest snow covered roads and icy curves the amazing all wheel drive performs like a snow-cat (even without chains)... ABSOLUTELY AMAZING CAR!!!!! Done 52k km within Europe with it too.... a dream car for daily drives.

    Having an EV has made winter driving so much more bearable. The convenience of it is just so great.
  • @Torgrim5958
    Thats my hometurf. Tesla engineers if you read this, the Y has a design problem in the wheel well lining. With cold temeratures and salted roads the slush/snow acumulates on the fabric like liners in the wheel wells. Last winter it almost rendered my car undrivable because it filled up and turned into some black glass like material that was impossible to remove.

    We're testing extreme hot weather here in TX, your HVAC crew is amazing.
  • @Pexas
    Would be great with a winter mode that loweres regerative braking automaticly when in ice conditions, shuts of folding mirrors and so on..
  • @evolv.e
    I’ve driven our 2014 Model S through the Arizona deserts in the summer🌵 to the Canadian Rockies in the winter 🏔️ with no issues. Tesla’s BMS is the industry’s gold standard.

    In February 2023 we were at the North Cape in Norway with our Tesla Model 3 Performance. It's amazing how well this technique works. While the diesel didn't want to start at -20 degrees, we were already on the road with our Tesla. That's the future!

    Absolutely love these Tesla testing videos. Keep them coming. More climates, more weather, more scenarios.

    HVAC works very well in cold weather, but there are two issues I wish you could look into: The windscreen washers only spray when the wipers are close to their "park position". That causes the wipers to be more or less dry when they hit the top of the windscreen, making it impossible to clean it no matter how long you use the washers. Only occurs in cold weather on salted roads. It's like having a constant layer of dirt on the windscreen that never goes away. Had this issue with my old 2021 Model 3, and same with my 2023 Model Y Performance. Make it spray washer fluid constantly for as long as the button is depressed, would make a huge difference. Other issue - please give us the option to turn off regen. Yes, I have track mode, but no - for daily driving it's not very practical. This is not only for safer driving in the snow, but also to be able to use the brakes properly to prevent rust. The rotors WILL rust if you don't pay extra attention to them, braking hard several times a week. Seen it on both of my Teslas. Also helps preventing the clunking noise that comes when shifting driving direction, sounding like the brake pads are loose, for some reason. Seems that some markets got this in a recent update, but not Norway, where it would make perfect sense.

    Nice work Tesla folks. Norway looks very nice. Cold though.
  • @enchant3r
    If this was re-edited into like 4, 30 second clips, it would make a REALLY good commercial series on TV, streaming, etc. If you can get them to show them all in one show, even better.
  • @tipoomaster
    "What does that mean?" "...That it's slippery" lol
  • @AlphaCrucis
    Just want to say that I like the music used in this video (and most Tesla vids really). Worked well with the cold theme.
  • @Connor_Herman
    I experienced -28F near Banff this February in my 2018 Model 3 and it worked great!

    Fabulous story telling makes compelling content. Thanks!
