While many electric vehicles lose a significant amount of performance and range in the cold

Tesla stays ahead of the competition because to its clever heat pump architecture

Tesla has released a short video explaining how the pump works and why it is so crucial.

Though most EV drivers understand why it's vital, a decent heating system can make or break an electric car,

Tesla's heat pumps are standard on all vehicles, bringing their real range closer to the ideal, EPA-estimated figures.

Tesla's heat pumps, on the other hand, try to mitigate these two difficulties.
