after upgrading to 2019.24.4 the cabin overheat protection doesn’t seem to work. It shows as on, I have done a reset but doesn’t seem to do anything.
Anyone else experience this?

Not sure I see the point of the overheat protection. Why do people use it?
You can use the app to cool the car 5 mins before you get in. It only works for 12 hours anyways, so its not "protecting your electronics" as some people claim. What is the actual point? No one cared before, because no other car told you the inside temps.
Its not all the glass either, I see alot of cars with full glass tops now.
Really kinda curious on the point of it.
Some folks have reported warping and bubbling of their dash and other related issues. I've seen my car approach 140 degrees internally when sitting in direct sunlight, and adhesive tends to weaken its bonds. If you can keep the temperature down in the car, its going to increase the interior longevity. As you've said, the car only needs a few minutes to cool down to a comfortable temperature for us humans.
I kinda get that logic, but every other car on the road is not cooling the cabin and they are not falling apart. Just kinda wondering if there is any real point beyond theorycrafting that it "could" help.

How do you know the interior isn't suffering some type of damage from high heat? The interior of cars could be suffering heat damage but we have just been conditioned to accept that this is part of the normal aging process for cars.
It is for safety, if you happen to forget your infant in the back seat, it could save the life of your child. This happens hundreds of times a year (inadvertently) in the US. That is the reason for the 12-hour limit - it covers most cases.
Obviously with the 12-hour limit it will have quite limited ability to protect the interior - especially for cars that are not garaged.
