Can Tesla Be Exposed to Direct Sunlight?
1 Answers
Tesla is best not left exposed to direct sunlight. Not only Tesla, but other cars should also avoid prolonged exposure to sunlight. Leaving a car in the sun can easily cause the paint to age, accelerate tire deterioration, and increase the production of harmful substances inside the vehicle. The intense summer sun is very damaging to car paint; prolonged exposure can cause the car to lose its original glossy finish and shorten the paint's lifespan. Most interior components are made of plastic, and extended exposure to sunlight can accelerate plastic aging and deformation, reducing the interior's durability. In addition to damaging the paint, exposing a car to direct sunlight has the following disadvantages: Engine prone to issues: In high-temperature environments, the engine cooling system has a smaller heat dissipation temperature difference and reduced cooling capacity, making the engine prone to overheating. Fuel system prone to issues: Under high temperatures, fuel and related components can develop a series of problems, accelerating component wear and severely affecting the engine's lifespan. Battery voltage instability under high temperatures: When the battery temperature is high, the electrodes can oxidize due to insulation layer aging, especially the negative terminal, which may develop white oxide deposits, leading to unstable battery voltage.
