Extreme Heat Testing | Tesla Model S, 3, X and Y

Our field quality engineers head to Dubai at the hottest time of the year for extreme heat and durability testing. Temperatures reach over 122°F/50°C in August

Need MORE behind the scenes insight into the development, testing, production and overall engineering of the cars and other products. So cool to see, and showcases to those who don't know much about Tesla just how much goes into making these cars the best in the world. Cheers!

As a Quality Engineer myself working for a German company, it makes me really happy to see our profession also gets credit!

Would be nice if they gave examples of some issues they found and how they will be resolved.

I've always wondering how a Tesla can survive the Moroccan heat (47°c+) and now I know. Kudos to the team that works on that heat and also for using black cars.

Excellent work Tesla!! I really hope you have fully winter tested the air suspension system for Cybertruck. Most air suspension systems get removed bc the valves freeze up. Thanks

“It’s 51 degrees C today”
A few seconds later, shot of two hot coffees in cup holders. 😅
I would do the same though…

I definitely experienced a drop off on performance during the winter 2022 cold front when driving cross country in both directions. To the point that the Model 3 I rented couldn't reach the next supercharger station without driving at less than the speed limit, turning off all unnecessary systems, turning the heat off, and using only the seat warmer. It was not the best for my first experience, but I also understand that colder temperatures degrade performance, and that announcements of improvements have been given in the last 5 months. I appreciate videos like this, because it shows innovation in extreme temperatures, and ensures my hope that newer models will accommodate such problems as they arise. For context, I drove from Phoenix to North Carolina.

I unexpectedly took a rented Model 3 off-roading when my rural highway overtake didn’t go as planned. I was not expecting it to handle *that* confidently. Truly awesome.

[Mathdors]

Love that they’re testing to give us confidence

[stevefred]

Great to see that the cars are tested where I live! We get free Supercharging in the UAE - so loads of Teslas are sold here!

Difference between testing in controlled environment and out in desert is same as using a treadmill in air conditioned gym vs running outdoors. Love the drone footage ❤

I'm always worried about heat in the valley that reaches 113 F and how it would affect lithium batteries. Especially bumper to bumper traffic and at certain elevation as well. This is how durability test is done. Great stuff.

@Tesla: Tesla's ingenuity in naming their vehicles with the letters S, 3, X, and Y not only showcases their creativity but also their ability to captivate the market. It's intriguing how Tesla has managed to turn these seemingly simple letters into something truly "sexy" in the automotive world. By breaking away from the conventional naming conventions, Tesla has successfully infused a sense of exclusivity and sophistication into their brand. The S, 3, X, and Y have become iconic symbols of Tesla's commitment to innovation and pushing boundaries. It's a testament to Tesla's unique vision and their ability to create a lasting impact on the industry. Bravo, Tesla, for making "sexy" more than just a word, but an experience on wheels.

This video has the exact EV to Goat ratio that i need!

Love tesla❤ had 2 model s both with over 200k on original battery and drive motor.

[ghostcheetokill]

As someone who lives in Dubai, I am happy to see that my favorite car brand is suitable for all conditions.

[Yung_YacobOG]

Props to the camera man for standing out there in the 123 degree heat

[Jerrboyy]

Awesome! Its one thing testing the car in a controlled lab setting and another bringing it to the hottest place on earth in the worst time of the year and putting yourself in the passenger’s shoes to experience what they would. Props Tesla team, love these videos and your testing regime.

Tesla is the first vehicle that I have purchased that actually feels like the same person who designed it drives it every day and it shows.
