"I have had a Model Y Performance for the week courtesy of Tesla, which got the car to me last Monday. Today was my last full day with it before I take it back to my local showroom, and with all the accumulation on it, I decided to run a cool little experiment: How long would it take for Tesla's Defrost feature to melt 8 inches of snow?"
"Tesla's Defrost feature is one of the best and most underrated that the car has in its arsenal. While every car out there has a defrost setting, Tesla's can be activated through the Smartphone App and is one of the better-performing systems in my opinion. It has come in handy a lot through the Fall and Winter, helping clear up my windshield more efficiently while also clearing up more of the front glass than other cars I've owned."
"I started this test at around 10:30 a.m. It was still pretty cloudy and cold out, and I knew the latter portion of the test would get some help from the Sun as it was expected to come out around noon, maybe a little bit after. I cranked it up and set my iPhone up on a tripod, and activated the Time Lapse feature in the Camera settings."
A Model Y Performance was subjected to a test after 10–12 inches of snow in Pennsylvania. The vehicle was on loan for a week and the owner used the smartphone app to activate the Defrost feature remotely. The test began at about 10:30 a.m. with time-lapse recording from an iPhone on a tripod. Conditions were cold and cloudy at the start, with sun expected around noon. Noticeable melting occurred along the windshield sides near the A-pillar by the 20-minute mark. The Defrost feature produced visible clearing without any manual scraping.
