Cabin overheat protection doesn't work

[EA40]

great thread and enjoyed everyone's opinion. Try lving in Arizona during the summer when its 100-120 every day for four months and gets to a low of about 90 at night. My garage is not cooled or insulated and lives at 99-106.

I find the cooling feature to be one of the fun, unique and valuable for me features of a model 3.

**Still looking to get a 3 but I will find the right used one any day now...

You are proving my point with the "could" thats what I am saying, is there proof of anything?

Your quote assumes no damage is occurring because the cars are not falling apart.

So I've been keeping an eye on it, and I do think it's working. I think I just caught it a couple times maybe as it was just kicking on. Most times I check the app it says 100 degrees, so looks like it's doing it's job keeping it under 105. And having lived in AZ my whole life, I can guarantee the heat kills car interiors, as well as things left in the car. Pens melted, CD's warped, there's plenty of good reasons to have this and I wish other cars vented heat passively. I still can't believe nobody has invented a secondary battery/system to run the AC once in awhile in an Arizona car to do this.

I tried with no A/C and found that the fan struggled to keep up.

Now I run it with A/C.

I’ve never been burned by a seatbelt or hot seats.

I find it drops to about 10 degrees F below the limit, then let’s it go back up and does the same thing again.

I watched COP in our MS for about a month during the summer after we first got it. I observed it had a wider temp range in cooling when the outside temperature was more elevated (90s-100s) and had to work harder to maintain the general range. Fan speed the car is left at I believe also plays a major factor.

I’m lucky to get 85-90 where I live. So my experiences are limited with high demand on the cars system.

I’ve had it kick in, but it’s not regular.

Been running 2019.24.4 for the past few days and have no issue with COP working.

Works great with Sentry mode while parked at work. It's been over 100 degrees the past few days in Socal and I've checked the app every few hours and its stays within 105 degrees. I've run both modes with Fan Only and AC. No issue.

I would recommend making sure you're HAVC is set to "Auto" would be some bug related if you had it set to manual.

That is also an experience I had with it. I tend to like controlling the HVAC myself, so there was a time or two that it would only turn on to fan level 1 because that’s what I left it at.

I wish the cabin overheat protection would work better with the app. The app should indicate that it is on (A/C, or fan only). Would also like to be able to set A/C temperature to 95 to 100 in the app.

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?

Can confirm mine is broken too just came to car at 51C!

How long were you away from the car?

Living in AZ I have it enabled but not with AC. Instead of 150 plus it’s around 125. Quite warm but not unbearable. Not hot to the touch either.

When I head down to the Valley of the Sun (Phoenix metro) I pretty much set it on dog mode at 80 degrees and let the AC run. I know this isn't practical for most, but I hate getting into my Tesla when its 190 degrees inside.

My p3d- is greyed out so can't select anything, ideally would just want fan ok.
Anyone know why this might be please?

If I’m running errands around town I leave AC on for sure. I leave cabin overheat protection on 24x7 other wise

Anyone have rough range cost for COP? Like 1 MPH at 100 degrees F ambient for fan only VS 1.5 MPH with AC? These are made up numbers but I wonder what they really are?

State of charge below 20%?

Figured bit out.... can't have sentry mode on and overheat protection on at the same time in the model 3 apparently!
