Tesla Wants To Vacuum The Hot Air Out Of Cars To Improve Range

  • Tesla patented a new way of cooling down your EV's cabin in the summer heat.
  • Its new method involves using vacuums to suck up hot air and put it directly into the car's HVAC system.
  • This would make cooling hot spots inside of cars much easier, potentially unlocking more range.

Car interiors get hot, and conditioning them (whether it be preconditioning before you get in, or just keeping it at the right temperature while scooting down the road) saps up a significant amount of juice that could have been translated into mileage instead.
