It is no secret that it gets hot in New Orleans. Our summer temperatures and high humidity make air conditioning a must! Even though your Tesla does not have an internal combustion engine it does have an air conditioning system that does need regular maintenance. Just like gas powered vehicles Tesla a/c systems use refrigerant, compressors, rubber lines and various components that keep you comfortable.
One very large difference between your Tesla and a traditional vehicle is the primary function of the AC system.
Traditional vehicles AC systems are there for passenger comfort as well as safety when being used to defrost. The air conditioning system is an integral part of your thermal management system. The air conditioning system will run to cool the battery even if you have turned the system off. The air conditioning system will run when the vehicle is off and can run when charging your Tesla. Instead of being a peripheral comfort system your Tesla’s A/C system is keeping the battery cool. It is an integrated part of the battery’s temperature control. It is even more important to keep your Tesla AC system in top condition!
