2017 90D. Went in for 2 year service which included replacing the HEPA filter. Since then it appears that:
- max air speed (both BIODEFENSE mode as well as fan to max) does not output as much air through the vents as it used to
- precooling car (climate on) results in a large puddle of water below the car (was always some, but not this much).
It may well be that this is just subjective and that (a) the air pressure/force for max speed is the same as it always was and that (b) increased outside humidity is causing the larger puddle due to condensation
That said, I'm wondering if, when they installed the HEPA filter, they didn't connect things up correctly such that cold air is blowing in the forward compartment resulting in greater than normal condensation and the lower air pressure. Does anyone know of a way to check this (pull the frunk tub, check things?) that I can do without taking the car to the service center? The air conditioning has never been as good as what I got from previous ICE cars, but I don't remember it being like this last summer or in 2017...
