Cabin Overheat Protection

Just checked my Tesla app and it showed the interior temp at 132 degrees. I have cabin overheat protection turned on (just double checked). Any ideas what might cause it to not operate?

If your battery is less than 20% charged it will not operate. Is that the case?

Thank you for answering. No, battery was above 80%,

Another possibility is if you have the advance anti-theft system installed. The cabin overheat system will then be disabled. I believe the reason for it being disabled is that the created airflow interferes with the interior motion detector.

If the advance anti-theft system is an add on I don't have it. If it is standard on 2019 Raven model then maybe I do. But the cabin overheat protection worked last September when I took delivery. I did reboot the car today and it was apparently working later.

Okay, here's the answer to my Cabin Overheat issue. The manual states that it works for 12 hours after you exit your vehicle. So since I am in high risk category I have been locked down with only occasional drives without any stops to get out of the house. So as long as I am on lockdown I will go to the car every morning and enter, press the break, put into gear, put into park and exit. All of that to be sure I meet Tesla's programming for exiting the vehicle. No that I cannot park under cover.

Does the App get the temperature from the same sensor that the cabin-overheat does? You'd think so, but it's something to check.
