What in the world is the AH capacity of fully charged Tesla car batteries, anyway?

In the RV world, the electrical power consumed by air conditioners and electric heaters is so astronomical as to be nearly impossible to consider them being powered for any length of time by RV battery banks regardless of the physical size of the battery banks.

How does Tesla cram that much lithium battery power under the floors(?), in the fender voids(?), in the underhood void(?), and/or under the trunk floor(?) so as be able to power both the car and A/C or heater on long trips?

I find it hard to believe. :h

my question exactly. if a car AC can be run on battery power plus move the car, why can't that battery run a larger AC ??

bumpy - dc batteries can power "RV" AC - I have friends who self built an off road capable Ford camper truck who operate the house loads completely from a Lithium battery bank using re-purposed airliner batteries. Indoor cooking is induction, AC is a mini-split, water pressure is compressed air, LED lights, he works on the road so efficient computers... etc. But their rig is not "normal".

But if you search the u toobs a bit there are people who have piled enough solar and batteries in a conventional RV to operate the AC loads in a practical way.

My truck camper has a Mach 8 air conditioner that is so loud it drowns out the generator anyways so I just use that when needed :D
