Tired of a cold right foot? Our custom built FootWarmer module redirects some of the heated airflow in the driver’s footwell to the right foot. The refreshed Tesla Model S footwell vents direct most heated air to the left footwell area. While our FootWarmer will not create instantaneous heat, it is noticeably more comfortable as you drive in the cold.
Availability
The FootWarmer only works for the refreshed Model S (April 2016 through December 2021). It does not fit in the older classic Model S. The newest Model S Plaid/LR (made after January-2021) and the Model X/3/Y uses a different airflow that appears to distribute the airflow more evenly to the feet. Our FootWarmer is very simple to install in less than a minute, and only requires a phillips screwdriver to lock the module into place. No cuts or modifications are required to your Model S and it can be removed at any time.
Heat Distribution Analysis
The heat map photo shows a two-minute time lapse of a shoe on the accelerator getting a 10 degree rise over a 2-minute period. No foot was in the shoe to avoid skewing the results with body heat. The fan was set at 8, and airflow directed to the feet. Without the Footwarmer insert, almost no heat appears on the shoe.
In use, the heating is obviously not instantaneous, but for us, it makes a noticeable difference over time, especially your toes. If your feet never get cold, you obviously don’t need the FootWarmer!
Design
Each FootWarmer is custom made using a 3D printer, taking over an hour for each part. Even with higher resolution printing, the quality is not quite up to injection molding standards. You may notice some minor imperfections that do not affect the function of the FootWarmer. Each part undergoes additional hand work and machining to insure proper fit and operation before packaging. Production, handwork, and packaging is all done in the USA.
