Oregon man tests how his Tesla Model X performs in the middle of a -15°F snowstorm in Colorado

Colorado is renowned for its cold weather, so this Oregon man wanted to see if his Tesla Model X could withstand it.

But this was no ordinary Colorado chill – this was a -15°F snowstorm.

This was certainly a risky experiment.

But YouTuber Everyday Sandro was willing to put his EV to the ultimate test.

What do you get when you put a Tesla Model X into a Colorado snowstorm?

Most people would agree that cars generally fare better in tropical climates.

Or at the very least, we feel better while driving in such climates.

But for those of us north of the equator, we have to contend with some pretty grizzly weather conditions, and it’s not easy.

One woman in Siberia knows that better than anybody, as she regularly sees temperatures of  -58°F.

But believe it or not, some people actually put their cars out in the cold on purpose for experimental purposes.

Teslas especially are put through their paces, whether warming up in a bitter -29.2°F, or at a teeth-chattering -31°F  in Canada.

YouTuber Everyday Sandro may have been south of Canada, but he still had plenty of chilly weather to go around.

He’d been spending a few weeks camping throughout North America, living out of his Tesla Model X, nicknamed Beluga.

For this particular video, he was going to camp overnight at a high-altitude overlook in Colorado.

Between six and 10 inches of snow was projected to fall overnight.

That’s around a foot of fresh snowfall – nothing to sneeze at.

How did the car hold up in the bitter cold?

Sandro bunkered down for the night, and it was safe to say that he wouldn’t wake up looking like Jack Nicholson from The Shining.

For warmth, he had heated seats and solar panels to get him through.

Even with snow covering the panels, they still produced some wattage.

He had leftover sushi for dinner, and settled into a sleep with Tesla’s Camp Mode to keep the cabin temperature at around 70°F.

In the morning, five inches of snow had fallen, but Beluga had withstood the weather wonderfully.
