Like any vehicle, the temperature inside the cabin of your Tesla can rapidly change when left outside. Whether it’s a hot summer day which drives the temperature up, or a frigid winter night that drops it to a chill, your car is susceptible to the environment. However, what if you were able to maintain a comfortable temperature in your vehicle even after you’ve left it? Continue reading for steps on how to keep the climate on after leaving your Tesla.
What is the “Keep Climate On” Feature?
The Keep Climate On setting is present in all available Tesla models, and is a useful feature that allows you to keep the climate control system running when your vehicle is in Park, and even after you’ve left the car.
Even if you leave your Tesla for a few minutes, the temperature inside the cabin can dramatically shift. For example, if you run into a grocery store to grab a few items, by the time you’re back the climate in the car is likely going to be quite different. This feature is useful in scenarios where you wish to maintain the cabin temperature!
