Cold Weather Best Practices
To ensure that CybertruckModel SModel XModel 3Model Y provides you with the best ownership experience possible in harsh
cold weather conditions, follow these best practices.
Before Driving
When snow and ice accumulate on your vehicle, moving parts, such as the door handlesdoors, windows, mirrors, and wipers
the wiper can freeze in place. To achieve maximum range and performance, it is helpful to warm the cabin and Battery before
driving. There are several ways to do so:
• Touch Schedule, available on both the charging and climate control screens, to set a time when you want your vehicle to be
ready to drive (see Scheduled Charging and Scheduled Departure on page 741Schedule at this Location on page 1373).
• In the mobile app, navigate to Climate to customize the temperature at which you want to heat the cabin. This also warms
the high voltage Battery as needed.
• In the mobile app, navigate to Climate > Defrost Car > Defrost to melt snow, ice, and frost on the windshield, charge port,
charge port (if equipped), windows, and mirrors. This also warms the high voltage Battery as needed.
NOTE: Tesla recommends activating climate settings at least 30-45 minutes before departure (see Operating Climate
Controls on page 667Operating Climate Controls on page 1336). Preconditioning times depend on outside temperature
and other factors. The mobile app will notify you once your vehicle has reached the desired preconditioning temperature.
Charge Port

If your charge port latch freezes in place and a charging cable becomes stuck in the charge port, try manually releasing the
charge cable. See Manually Releasing Charge Cable on page 735Manually Releasing Charge Cable on page 738Manually
Releasing Charge Cable on page 735Manually Releasing Charge Cable on page 1374.
In extremely cold weather or icy conditions, it is possible that your charge port latch may freeze in place. In these weather
conditions, on some vehicles, you can thaw ice on the charge port latch so the charge cable can be removed and inserted. To
do so, enable Defrost Car using the mobile app.
In extremely cold weather or icy conditions, it is possible that your charge port latch may freeze in place. In cases where you
cannot remove or insert the charge cable, or the vehicle is not Supercharging due to the latch being frozen in place, use the
Defrost Car setting in the mobile app. This can help thaw ice on the charge port latch so the charge cable can be removed or
inserted.
You can also prevent the occurrence of a charge port latch freezing in place by using the Schedule settings (see Scheduled
Charging and Scheduled Departure on page 741Schedule at this Location on page 1373).
NOTE: If your charge port latch is frozen in place, it may not lock the charging cable in place when inserted, but it can still
charge at a slow AC rate even if the latch is not engaged.
Charging

By using Trip Planner (if available) to navigate to a Tesla charging location, CybertruckModel SModel XModel 3Model Y preheats the high voltage Battery to ensure when you arrive at the charger, the temperature of the Battery is optimal and ready to
charge. This reduces the amount of time it takes to charge. See (see Trip Planner on page 703).
NOTE: Tesla recommends using Trip Planner to navigate to a charging location for at least 30-45 minutes before arrival to
ensure optimal Battery temperature and charging conditions. If the drive to the charging location is less than 30-45 minutes,
consider preconditioning the Battery before driving (see Before Driving on page 691).
NOTE: The thermal system may produce steam under certain conditions for vehicles equipped with a heat pump (to determine
if your vehicle has a heat pump, touch Controls > Software > Additional Vehicle Information). For example, odorless steam can
come from the front of your vehicle while charging at a Supercharger in cold temperature. This is normal and not a cause for
concern.
Windows

In the mobile app, go to Climate and select Defrost CarDefrost Truck, which helps melt snow, ice, and frost on the windshield,
windows, and mirrors.

Owner's Manual

691

Owners Manual
In cold temperatures, CybertruckModel SModel XModel 3Model Y automatically makes a slight adjustment to the position of
the windows to make it easier to open doors.
NOTE: Always connect to an external, low voltage power supply before opening a door when the vehicle has no power to avoid
breaking a window.
Use the mobile app to schedule a service appointment for Tesla to provide hydrophobic coating to the side and rear windows
(not the front windshield) for a nominal fee.
Doors

In severe winter conditions, ice buildup can make it more difficult to open door handles. You can use the mobile app to pop
open the driver door in this situation.
1. In the mobile app, touch and hold any of the four quick control buttons and follow the instructions to customize quick
controls with Unlatch Door.
2. When you are next to your car, touch Unlatch Door to pop open the driver door.
Removing Ice From Door Handle

In severe winter conditions, ice buildup within the door handle can prevent the door handle from opening. The process for
freeing a CybertruckModel SModel XModel 3Model Y door handle is slightly different than others to remove ice buildup.
NOTE: Preemptively applying WD-40 to the door handle pivot pins can help prevent ice buildup inside your door handle.
CAUTION: Do not attempt to use tools or excessive force to release the door handle from ice buildup.
If your vehicle's door handles are black: Perform the following to remove ice from the door handle:

1. Forcefully press the frontmost part of the door handle. It will rock slightly inward to help break the ice.

692

Owner's Manual

Owners Manual

2. Press the rearmost part of the door handle to try to open as you normally would.
3. Once the door handle is able to move, open and close it a few more times to release any remaining ice buildup. Make sure
the door handle is fully pressed in (retracted) prior to entering the vehicle, and check that the door is fully closed before
driving away.
If your vehicle's door handles are silver: You can usually remove the ice with a few forceful bumps to the door handle using the
bottom of your fist. Perform the following to remove ice from the door handle:
CAUTION: Remove any jewelry or objects that can damage the paint prior to performing the procedure, and do not
attempt to use tools or excessive force.

1. Forcefully press the rearmost part of the door handle to try to open the door handle.
2. Working in a circular pattern around the perimeter of the door handle, use the bottom of your fist to forcefully bump the
door handle to break and release the ice buildup.

Owner's Manual

693

Owners Manual
3. Aiming for the rearmost end of the wide part of the door handle, use the bottom of your fist to forcefully bump the door
handle. Increase the intensity of the bumps as necessary, repeating steps 1 through 3 until the ice is removed and the door
handle can be opened.

CAUTION: Never bump the vehicle so hard as to cause a dent; the force used should be similar to knocking on your
neighbor’s front door.
4. Once the door handle is able to move, open and close it a few more times to release any remaining ice buildup. Make sure
the door handle is fully pressed in (retracted) prior to entering the vehicle, and check that the door is fully closed before
driving away.
Mirrors

If ice buildup is expected when parking, turn off Auto-Fold Mirrors. Touch Controls > Vehicle > Auto-Fold. Ice can prevent
exterior side mirrors from folding or unfolding.
NOTE: Side mirrors automatically heat as needed during preconditioning, or when the rear defroster is turned on.
Wipers

If you expect snow or ice to build up when parked, touch Controls > Service > Wiper Service Mode. This raises the wipers
against the windshield so they can defrost when the windshield defrosts (see Wipers and Washers on page 453). You can also
turn on wiper defrosters (if equipped). See Operating Climate Controls on page 667.
Tires and Tire Chains

Use winter tires to increase traction in snowy or icy conditions. You can purchase winter tires on the Tesla Shop (see Seasonal
Tire Types on page 767) (see Seasonal Tire Types on page 1400).
Tire chains provide additional traction when driving in snowy or icy conditions. Check local regulations to determine if tire
chains are recommended or required during winter months. See Using Tire Chains on page 768Tire Chains on page 1401 for
more information.
Your vehicle’s tire pressures will drop in cold ambient temperatures. If the TPMS indicator light appears, inflate the tires before
driving. The tires will lose one PSI for every 10° F (6° C) drop in outside temperature (see Tire Care and Maintenance on page
752Inspecting and Maintaining Tires on page 1399). Proper tire pressures help protect tires from potholes and improve range
when properly inflated.
While Driving
Cold weather can increase energy consumption because more power is required for driving, cabin and Battery heating. Follow
these suggestions to reduce energy consumption:

694

Owner's Manual

Owners Manual
• Use seat heaters to keep warm. Seat heaters use less energy than the cabin heater. Lowering the cabin temperature and
using seat heaters reduces energy consumption (see Operating Climate Controls on page 667Operating Climate Controls
on page 1336).
• Slow down your driving and avoid frequent and rapid acceleration.
• Turn on Range Mode to automatically limit the power that the climate control system uses to maintain the temperature of
the Battery and the cabin area. Range Mode also turns off signature lights (if equipped) and adjusts the front and rear
motor torque split to maximize range (see Getting Maximum Range on page 743).
• If your vehicle is equipped with a heat pump (to determine if your vehicle has a heat pump, touch Controls > Software >
Additional Vehicle Information), you can improve the efficiency of the cabin heating by reducing your selected acceleration
mode (see Acceleration Modes on page 497). This allows the heat pump system to take more heat from the Battery to
efficiently heat the cabin, instead of maintaining the Battery's ability to provide peak acceleration performance. This helps
to maximize driving efficiency in colder weather. Note that when subsequently increasing the acceleration mode, the
Battery requires time to warm up before the increased level of acceleration is available.
• You can improve the efficiency of the cabin heating by reducing your selected acceleration mode (see Acceleration Modes
on page 497Acceleration Modes on page 501). This allows the heat pump system to take more heat from the Battery to
efficiently heat the cabin, instead of maintaining the Battery's ability to provide peak acceleration performance. This helps
to maximize driving efficiency in colder weather. Note that when subsequently increasing the acceleration mode, the
Battery requires time to warm up before the increased level of acceleration is available.
Regenerative Braking

Regenerative braking can be limited if the Battery is too cold. As you continue to drive, the Battery warms up and regenerative
power increases (see Regenerative Braking on page 463Regenerative Braking on page 1234).
NOTE: Limited regenerative braking can be avoided if you allow enough time to precondition your vehicle or if you use
Schedule to precondition CybertruckModel SModel XModel 3Model Y before your departure time (see Scheduled Charging
and Scheduled Departure on page 741Schedule at this Location on page 1373).
NOTE: Installing winter tires can result in temporarily reduced regenerative braking power but after a short period of driving,
CybertruckModel SModel XModel 3Model Y recalibrates to correct this. Touch Service > Wheel & Tire > Tires to select winter
tires and quicken this process.
Cold Battery

A blue snowflake icon appears on your instrument paneltouchscreen when some of the stored energy in the Battery is
unavailable because the Battery is cold. This portion of unavailable energy displays in blue on the Battery meter.
Regenerative braking, acceleration, and charging rates may be limited. The snowflake icon no longer displays when
the Battery is sufficiently warm.
After Driving
Leave CybertruckModel SModel XModel 3Model Y plugged in when not in use. This uses the charging system, rather than the
Battery itself, to keep the Battery warm (see High Voltage Battery Information on page 722).
Scheduled Departure

When parked, plug in CybertruckModel SModel XModel 3Model Y and use the Schedule settings, available on both the
charging and climate control screens, to set a time when you want to precondition CybertruckModel SModel XModel 3Model
Y (see Scheduled Charging and Scheduled Departure on page 741Schedule at this Location on page 1373). You can also use
Schedule to prevent the charge port latch freezing in place. Your vehicle determines the appropriate time to begin charging so
it is complete during off-peak hours and the cabin and Battery are warm by your set departure time.
Storage
If you leave CybertruckModel SModel XModel 3Model Y parked for an extended period of time, plug the vehicle into a charger
to prevent normal range loss and to keep the Battery at an optimal temperature. Your vehicle is safe to stay plugged in for any
length of time.
When not in use, CybertruckModel SModel XModel 3Model Y enters a sleep mode to conserve energy. Reduce the number of
times you check your vehicle’s status on the mobile app, as this automatically wakes up your vehicle and starts normal energy
consumption.

Hot Weather Best Practices
To ensure that CybertruckModel SModel XModel 3Model Y provides you with the best ownership experience possible in hot
ambient conditions, follow these best practices.
Before Driving
There are several ways to prepare your vehicle for a drive, without having to get into an already hot vehicle:
• Precondition the cabin by moving the direction of air flow from the vents, and turn the seat heaters on or off. In the mobile
app, navigate to Climate to customize the temperature at which you want to cool the cabin.
• Touch Schedule, available on both the Charging and Climate Control screens, to set a time when you want your vehicle to
be ready to drive (see Scheduled Charging and Scheduled Departure on page 741Schedule at this Location on page 1373).
• Enable Cabin Overheat Protection, which prevents the cabin from getting too warm in hot ambient conditions. You can
choose whether you want the A/C or just the fan to run when the temperature in the cabin exceeds 105° F (40° C) or the
selected temperature (if available).
• In the mobile app, navigate to Controls to vent the windows.
NOTE: Tesla recommends activating climate settings at least 30-45 minutes before departure (see Operating Climate Controls
on page 667Operating Climate Controls on page 1336). Preconditioning times depend on outside temperature and other
factors. The mobile app will notify you once your vehicle has reached the desired preconditioning temperature.
After Driving
Leave CybertruckModel SModel XModel 3Model Y plugged in when not in use, especially if using Preconditioning or Cabin
Overheat Protection. This uses the charging system, rather than the battery itself, to maintain a comfortable temperature (see
High Voltage Battery Information on page 722). In addition, there are several ways to minimize a hot cabin:
• Before leaving your vehicle (to run errands, for example), use Dog Mode to keep the cabin cool for pets or perishable
goods. See Keep Climate On, Dog, and Camp on page 675Keep Climate On, Dog, and Camp on page 1338 for more
information.
• Tesla recommends turning the air conditioning off approximately 30 seconds before pressing Park to reduce puddling
below the vehicle.
• Park in the shade to help reduce power consumption and maintain cooler cabin temperatures.
• Use a sun shade (available on the Tesla Shop) if you have to park outside in the sun.
• When parked, plug in CybertruckModel SModel XModel 3Model Y and Schedule your charging. Your vehicle determines
the appropriate time to begin charging so it is complete during off-peak hours. The cabin and Battery are also prepared by
your set departure time. For more information, see Scheduled Charging and Scheduled Departure on page 741Schedule at
this Location on page 1373.
Charging
When using Trip Planner or navigating to a Supercharger station, your vehicle automatically prepares the Battery for most
efficient charging. In extreme heat, you may not see the message that the vehicle is preconditioning the Battery while
navigating to a Supercharger, but it is still preparing the Battery for charging.
NOTE: Tesla recommends using Trip Planner to navigate to a charging location for at least 30-45 minutes before arrival to
ensure optimal Battery temperature and charging conditions. If the drive to the charging location is less than 30-45 minutes,
consider preconditioning the Battery before driving (see Before Driving on page 691).
If possible, leave your vehicle plugged into a charger whenever not in use, even in warm weather, especially if using
Preconditioning or Cabin Overheat Protection.
Storage
If you leave CybertruckModel SModel XModel 3Model Y parked for an extended period of time, plug the vehicle into a charger
to prevent normal range loss and to keep the Battery at an optimal temperature. Your vehicle is safe to stay plugged in for any
length of time.
