• You may hear the sound of the climate system inside
the cabin of Model X when Parked. It makes a low fan
noise. The climate system attempts to dry itself out
to minimize additional moisture or musty odors. This
is a normal operation and not a cause for concern.
•
You can improve the eciency of the cabin heating
by reducing your selected acceleration mode (see
Acceleration Modes on page 83). This allows the heat
pump system to take more heat from the Battery to
eciently heat the cabin, instead of maintaining the
Battery's ability to provide peak acceleration
performance. This helps to maximize driving
eciency 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.
• If the climate control system is louder than you prefer,
manually reduce the fan speed.
• In addition to cooling the interior, the air conditioning
compressor also cools the Battery. Therefore, in hot
weather, the air conditioning compressor can turn on
even if you turned it o. This is normal because the
system’s priority is to cool the Battery to ensure it
stays within an optimum temperature range to
support longevity and optimum performance.
•
Even when not in use, you may hear Model X emit a
whining noise or the sound of water circulating.
These sounds are normal and occur when the internal
cooling systems turn on to support various vehicle
functions, such as maintaining the
low voltage
battery and balancing the temperature of the high
voltage Battery.
•
To ensure the climate control system operates
eciently, close all windows and ensure that the
exterior grille in front of the windshield is free of ice,
snow, leaves, and other debris.
•
In very humid conditions, it is normal for the
windshield to fog slightly when you first turn on the
air conditioning.
•
It is normal for a small pool of water to form under
Model X when parked. Extra water produced by the
dehumidifying process is drained underneath.
•
To reduce the temperature in the cabin in hot
weather conditions, the fan may turn on to vent the
cabin when the vehicle is parked. This occurs only if
the battery's charge level is above 20%.
