Tesla Model Y: Climate
You can check the interior temperature and heat or cool
the cabin before driving (even if it's in a garage), control
the seat heaters, and defrost the windshield:
- Enable or disable Defrost Car by swiping up the from
bottom, which helps melt snow, ice, and frost on the
windshield, windows, and mirrors.
- Enable or disable Dog Mode or Camp Mode.
- Customizing climate controls allows you to
precondition the cabin to your desired temperature
and turn on or off the steering wheel and seat heaters.
- Vent the windows.
Using the mobile app to precondition Model Y also
warms the Battery as needed. The mobile app will notify
you once your vehicle has reached the desired
preconditioning temperature.
NOTE: 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 your Tesla mobile app to
enable Defrost Car for approximately 30-45 minutes.
This can help thaw ice on the charge port latch so the
charge cable can be removed or inserted.
