I've noticed the sensor grill down there. Possibly the hot air in the top of the cabin is being circulated down when the fan first engages. Although, I was parked next to a Tesla HVAC Engineer at a supercharger once, and while talking with him, he eluded to multiple cabin sensors. In all fairness, he was driving a MX, and I'm not sure if they're different in this regard.

I only know of that one. I also know older cars had it in the dash but it was even more unreliable and,I believe, didn't have the perforations to allow increased air movement.
