My 2022 Tesla Model Y has a heat pump, and I can confirm it's VERY noisy at times when it's trying to cool the car down quickly. Driving the car, you can't hear it as much (though there is some vibration you can feel), but when you get out and the heat pump is still running it's obnoxiously loud.

I have a 2023 Lightning XLT SR, without the heat pump, and I'm honestly happy I don't have the noisy/vibrating heat pump system in it. I'm sure I'm pulling more juice from the batteries using resistant heat, but I never get anywhere near running out of charge on any given day, so it works well for me.

Hello from Minnesota. I am interested in a comparison as well and I asked in a local Facebook group if anybody had a ‘24 lightning that they could compare against my ‘23. To perform some testing and capture results.

I believe we could do research around how quickly the trucks heat up and run them for a while to see how much the battery goes down with time.

If anybody here is from the Twin Cities area with a ‘24, please let me know!
