Tesla\u2019s owner\u2019s manual explains that the thermal system on heat-pump-equipped vehicles can produce odourless steam from the front while Supercharging in cold weather. That is the normal phenomenon discussed here.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Because this usually happens near the front of the vehicle, where a conventional car\u2019s engine would sit, it can alarm new owners. <strong>The water vapour described here is part of normal operation in cold conditions<\/strong>; that does not mean every instance of smoke or an unusual smell should be dismissed as harmless.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Does it only happen on Teslas?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>No. Other electric vehicles with a heat pump can show the same phenomenon in very cold conditions.<\/strong> If you have worried after seeing vapour rise from your Tesla, you are not alone. Understanding where that water vapour comes from can make the experience less surprising, and help you explain it to curious people nearby.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>Stay with us for more guides, reviews and news!<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\" \/>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"viewer-5d2qs1529\">\ud83d\udcb6 REFERRAL PROGRAMME <strong>\ud83d\ude98<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"viewer-ipsth1016\"><strong>The \u20ac500 discount offer described at publication<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\" id=\"viewer-nh6ps1021\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Click the following link to apply the discount<\/strong> and order the car through the normal purchase process (or copy and paste it into Google):<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong><em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.Teslhub.com\/Sconto\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><mark class=\"has-inline-color has-vivid-red-color\">https:\/\/www.Teslhub.com\/Sconto<\/mark><\/a><\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\ud83d\udc4f That\u2019s it!
