Climate control whilst in theatre mode

[Staypuffman]

Is it possible to switch off climate control whilst watching a film or YouTube?

I know you can change the temperature, but if I want to switch it off, I have to close down Disney+/YouTube to do this.

Use the app on phone?

I feel stupid!

You shouldn't. This is the distilled wisdom of many owners.

Also varied opinions on almost everything.

Never thought of doing that. Genius!

Never thought of doing that. Genius!

Though it is a bit daft that you lose other controls when using other screen features … bit of a design fail …

I’m sure Tesla can spin it into a feature such as the car supporting second screen.

I've been wondering about this too. My wife was in the car watching Netflix while I was running and errand and was too cold and couldn't turn the AC up. She doesn't have the Tesla App because she absolutely refuses to have that on her phone.

It's just one more example of the mess they've made of the UI - probably different people coding different parts of it and not communicating and making a standard display.
I can't switch Netflix off unless I put the car into drive!

This is what I mean by saying the UI is a mess. There are all sorts of irritations that should never have passed the initial design.
