Isn’t it summer right now for you? Or is your Melbourne not in Australia?The VCFRONT_a447 error came back (several times) on my '21 SR+ and it's now booked in for a service on Monday.
Yes, I'm in Australia, it is summer, and it is warm. The symptoms for the failure here have been the climate control system blowing ambient temp air at the highest fan speed.Isn’t it summer right now for you? Or is your Melbourne not in Australia?
Hmm, somehow I lost the ability to edit my post... Anyway, she just got a called today. They're taking in her car tomorrow and lending her a car while it's being fixed. Only good thing to say about our service center so farGot a VCFRONT_a161CompressorFault myself last December (same problem, no heat) which was fixed by replacing the compressor and supermanifold. Daughter's M3 got the dreaded VCFRONT_a447 error today. Both are SR+ 2021. She's already at 2021.44.30.7. Car was parked, plugged in, since last Thursday outside, temperature ranging from -30C to -5C. It's -16C now. Sucks
Oh I see…I thought this error was for a malfunctioning heat pump. Must be a more general climate control or sensor errorYes, I'm in Australia, it is summer, and it is warm. The symptoms for the failure here have been the climate control system blowing ambient temp air at the highest fan speed.
I made a service appointment via the app a few days ago and attached the error code. I got a call yesterday from someone at the local Tesla service centre who said they've ordered parts for the repair and rescheduled my service.

No issues since the update. Including a couple of 10 f degree days.Just got it this morning. Updating software to 2021.44.30.7. Will update on whether this does anything.
Is your front flap open?No issues since the update. Including a couple of 10 f degree days.
Adding that I just find out that my front louver is now always open after the updateCan confirm I have ice buildup around my radiator louver, and it was in the open position when the car was off otherwise. I'm going to try to get rid of this later today.

Thanks… I didnt realize a heat pump in a car could provide ac.Here's a description of how the heat pump provides heating the cooling: How Tesla Heat Pump Works (vs HVAC Heat Pumps) - aircondlounge
Update: Tesla has pushed back the repair/service six weeks to March. No A/C for the rest of the summer and just in time for autumn...
Could 'lemon law' be used in those circumstances?I've been dealing with HVAC issues since September. I already had one set of actuators replaced, then another set, and while they were doing that they needed to replace a temperature sensor. I had to give them exact times I was using HVAC so they could look at logs. The problem STILL isn't solved. Three appointments, and I still can't get my car to provide heat consistently.
I also have a Model S Plaid, and this morning (Feb 26 2022) the heater stopped working with an error code VCFRONT_a447. The car was making some strange fart-like noises to go with that.Hey. I have a S Plaid. I first had this same error January 14. After 5 weeks tesla finally completed a full replacement of the climate system. Yesterday (2/24), not even a week after getting the car back, my car is now back to square 1. Same exact error. I brought it directly to Tesla and they assured me that there was no hardware issue, it was firmware. It’s absurd that after over a month of not having my car, waiting for parts, and not even having the car back for a week it’s already broken again. I’m honestly just ready to lemon law this car…
I had the same struggle after receiving my early heat pump car (Dec 2020 delivery). It went in to the shop 5 times before they sorted it (well, hopefully, haven't had the issue in a few months) and I think they replaced: high & low side evap pressure/temp sensors, the evaporator, and the compressor.I've been dealing with HVAC issues since September.
