Tesla recalling 27,000 cars because they're not hot enough
Fox News
Tesla is recalling 27,000 vehicles with energy-efficient heat pumps that are failing at very low temperatures.
U.S. safety regulators said that a software error can cause a valve in the vehicles' heat pumps to open unintentionally, trapping refrigerant inside the evaporator and causing the compressor to go into a fail-safe mode, which can reduce the temperature in the cabin when its below 14 degrees outside, reducing defrosting performance.
Some owners of the cars have been posting about the issue on social media in recent weeks.
Tesla CEO Elon Musk called the pump "some of the best engineering I've seen in a while" when it was introduced in 2020.
