Actually It is the cold weather that really kills a Tesla's Range.
Since they utilize a heat pump the A/C is actually pretty efficient.
One of the the best features of my Y Performance is you can swipe the climate control icon and then tap KEEP and the car will stay at the selected Temp. generally pick 67 degrees on HOT days in a store while shopping.
There is also a dog mode or you can pick a temp for cabin overheat protection as well.
If you live where Forest fire smoke is thick there is also a bio defense mode that will clean the particulate smoke out of the air as well.
99.97 % of particulates and .3 micrometers in size which does include smoke sized particles.
