Electric car leader Tesla may challenge the home air conditioning market and make Japan’s Daikin air conditioner feel threatened Where does Musk’s confidence come from? Will this be another spiel or an ambitious strategic plan?
According to news reports last Sunday, Japan’s Daikin air conditioner is uneasy about Tesla’s entry into the home air conditioning market. The internal news is divided into two factions. Some people see it as a great threat, while others see it as a good opportunity for cooperation, just like the East before the Battle of Chibi. Wu meeting.
It all started in an interview in 2018, when Musk spoke to reporters about Tesla’s home solar power generation system. Musk believed that in the car, Tesla handles both energy saving and power generation. But at home, Tesla Solo power generation.
“I think the existing energy-saving air conditioners for smart homes still have a lot of room for improvement,” Musk said, as he said about rockets, electric cars, trucks and lithium-ion batteries. Interestingly, when the reporter asked how the home’s air conditioning system would be designed, Musk sold it: “I can’t talk to you about future products.”
At the time, the Model 3 had not sold out, SpaceX had not succeeded in crewing people, Tesla had not made any money, and it was not the most valuable automaker in the world. Therefore, not many people paid attention to this passage, but this year, with the California wildfires Wuhan Pneumonia (COVID-19), a certain Tesla design suddenly became famous, which is the “Defense System of Biochemical Weapons “only available on Model S / X cars.
Someday we will make a super efficient domestic air conditioning with hepa filters

Although the name sounds like a joke, this high-performance HEPA system for vehicles has saved many people during the California wildfires. Many car owners thanked Musk for his invention on Twitter, and Musk responded to one of them.
One day, we will create an ultra-efficient home air conditioning system with a built-in HEPA filter.
What Musk said is combining the Model S / X’s chemical and biological weapons defense system with the Model 3 / Y’s patented heat pump technology. Using this technology in the home can become a Smart Energy Saving Air Conditioning (HVAC) system.
Not only that, this air conditioning system, combined with Tesla’s solar power generation device and smart control center, will have the opportunity to create an ultra-low carbon smart vent while blocking pollution. severe atmospheric.
The question is, is the heat pump useful in areas with hot climates? The answer is yes. Although the name is Heat Pump, the heat pump is actually a heat exchange technology that can convert condensers and evaporators to achieve reverse operation. In other words, it’s not about heating things up, but about moving the heat wherever you want it, inside or outside. It’s your choice.

Interestingly, Tesla is not the first electric car to use heat pump technology, but the Nissan Leaf, which saves 30% of the energy consumption of air conditioning in the car and improves resistance. Tesla was not equipped with a heat pump until the Model Y was launched, and the new Model 3 will also have this technology next year. But if this technology is so good, why not the high-end S / X? Obviously, there is a technical wall.
Also, the market for home heat pump air conditioners already exists, and Tesla must have some black tech to subvert the existing method. At present, it seems that the heat pump and solar energy technology are two things. Consumers can now install heat pumps and solar energy themselves. For power generation boards, Tesla must present special advantages before it can convince consumers to leave these two things to Tesla.
Lastly, if Tesla wants to integrate HEPA into the home, it must consider the issue of airtightness. This is relatively easy to achieve in the car, but it is not so easy for the whole house to be airtight.
Despite many difficulties and technical limitations, Musk has repeatedly broken through the wall and made unprecedented achievements. It’s no wonder Daikin, which bills itself as Japan’s top-notch top-notch, treats this matter with such care. After all, Tesla can even sell alcohol. The odd line company.
