Uber driver reports weak A/C in 2022 Model 3 while charging
Unconfirmed: An Uber driver who rents a 2022 Tesla Model 3 reports that, at 3 p.m. on a day in October near 90 °F, the air conditioning barely worked while the car charged at a station. The author says he read that the A/C shares a cooling loop with the battery, which is being cooled during charging at that point. He compares the experience with a 2023 Kia EV6, which kept the A/C working without problems on 100 °F summer days. The text cuts off just as it mentions the Kia's charging speed, without completing the comparison.…
- User report: A/C barely works in a 2022 Model 3 while charging (~90 °F)
- Explanation attributed to the author: cooling loop shared with the battery
- According to the author, the 2023 Kia EV6 kept the A/C working on 100 °F days
🔎 Why it matters: There is no official Tesla confirmation that the Model 3 2022 A/C cooling loop is shared with the battery during charging; it is the post author's reading.
📈 Upside: Not applicable.
📉 Risk: If the author's explanation were correct, the A/C of a 2022 Model 3 would be limited while charging on hot days, affecting Uber drivers who use the car.
