If Tesla wants to do something useful and disruptive in this space, they should tackle the problem of retrofit geothermal heat pumps. Make that work affordably for old/existing homes and it would be a game changer. All of this talk about smart vents and pretty compressors is really not that helpful.

Yes!!! Would love to see Tesla sell fully integrated home power systems + HVAC.

I'll be building a new house in about a year. hoping I get the chance to incorporate Tesla Solar, Powerwalls and HVAC. Would also be interested in hearing about integrating other storage like water – using excess electricity to pump water to a higher alt. pond and letting it fall through a water turbine when this stored "energy" is needed.

He aint gonna make it in the air conditioning Can already guarantee it

Rick, your channel is great and every comment is at the highest level. Love the possibility of TESLA HVAC SYSTEM, I live in Bogotá, Colombia and AC is used in big offices but air quality is terrible and many people are not aware of this fact because they don't have a comparison reference- Right now I am thinking in developing a Bio-Hostel Network with Orchard, Solar panels and Electric transportation and the Air filtration system will be welcome and for Hostels in warm weather locations the potable water production is perfect. It would be an Elon facility. I will check the DroneQuote maybe I'll get them to fly down here and let them be my first guests.

It’s called a zone system. It is powered with 24v from the air handler with a zone board sending communication to each Zone powered by dampers opening and closing. Do some research on Honeywell

Power companies don't care about anyone and Elon is no exception when it comes to bottom line profit.

they soo need to work on better heating cooling and make more affordable … portable of apt size for renters

Almost all of the features mentioned are already in the industry. Wired and wireless Zoning exist, smart thermostats exist, Motion sensor zoning exist, Variable speed blowers exist, variable capacity condensers exist. Solar ready condensers and heatpumps exist. Condensate filters for clean water exist although not economical. Condensate is not clean. Have you ever looked at a coil or had to clean a condensate line? There are already turnkey complete packages that do all of this, they are expensive but they exist…..Majority, and I mean like over 90 percent, of people dont care if the ac "looks sexy or pretty" or not, as long as it does what its suppose to do at an affordable price that's about it, efficiency then is considered. LMAO ,This video is almost as if you were recording this in the 80s or from a different dimension. Please do some basic research before posting something like this.

You spoke a lot about smart vents wiring things with ductwork. "Whoever does this first will be the winner."
For more expensive homes, HVAC companies have been doing this since the 80's or 90's. Same with variable-speed fans and variable speed compressors.

What Tesla would have to do to stand out is to make it smarter than the competition, and to take some things they learned from their Model Y thermal management and use those. This might mean zoned intake or bidirectional intake and venting to be able to pump hot air from hot rooms into rooms that need heat, for instance. Or have easy to convert outdoor units that can be swapped with geomass if you want to boost your efficiency in the future.

Or the closest thing to the octovalve setup would be if you had a liquid-cooled power wall that could pull the heat from the batteries while they charge, and use that to contribute heat to the home.

It's hard to do this stuff in a home compared to a car. So I think brand recognition might be their main selling point. Nevertheless, I would be interested to see what their team would come up with.

Also, do NOT drink dehumidifier water. Technically it is distilled. But if you have ever cleaned a dirty indoor unit, you don't want your mouth near anything that's been in there. I have a UV light in mine to keep microbial activity to a minimum.

Tesla can also offer the financing component in an ROI-driven approach with dynamic pricing and incentives coordinated with local utility rebate programs. In other words, Tesla can manage the variables in design, PV sizing, storage , power purchase agreement, etc. to provide a no-brained predictable net savings to the home owner it would be a complete game changer. Turnkey solution.

This can work in the US, but not elsewhere in the world. The US HVAC industry is so old and outdated. Inverter-controlled whole house ductless heat pumps with zone control are quite common in the rest of developed countries, especially Asia. And they are not that expensive.

Great presentation. I’m getting a solar glass roof , powerpanels and a new Model S soon. Any updates on the HVAC?

It wouldn’t be pure water because while its off or in idle there is a high risk for mildew which would contaminate all the “clean water” im a hvac/r technician. There are already super efficient systems out there. There is no way to perfect an air conditioner. Teslas model would be well over 20,000 per unit.

Controlled heat & air to each room would require insulation for each room adding cost to a home.

The real genius would be getting all the appliances to work together. The way an air conditioner/heat pump works is it separates heat from cold. If you are cooling there is (waste) heat. If you are heating there is (waste) cold.
Your refrigerator cools, clothes dryer heats, hot water tank heats, heat pump heats or cools, and air conditioner cools. If these are all linked together on one condenser loop the waste from one can be used in another.

I believe the future of heating and cooling is a product called quiet cool I put in this product in my house and it cut my AC bill by 90% and we also use it during the winter time to heat our house it works in dry climate zones not high humidity.

We have the technology to cool our houses without electricity or moving parts. No need for compressors or fans. In the all days, freezers were not electric (ammonia was heat up and the evaporation/condensation would produce cold and that's how RV system work till today. Heating the ammonia could be done with solar evacuated tubes). I've also seen cooling system comprised of ducts connected to a metal box on the roof that circulates cool air in the house (The hot air in the metal box will create a vacuum, since hot air tents to move up, though pulling cool air into the home from another system called earth battery). Adjusting the temperature is just a matter of controlling the ducts and switching on/off the heating of the ammonia.

Oh god, don’t zone your house – you have been warned!

I was thinking he’d want to reinvent the wheel in hvac homes. New technology all together.
