Hello all.
So this will be my first summer with my model 3. Unfortunately my home is east/west facing with the garage on the west side of the home. As we are starting to get in to the summer months it typically gets hot in the garage in the afternoon when the sun is hitting it. The last couple of days I have been in the garage and hear the cooling system running on the car. No real surprise to me as it is hot in there and I am sure it is trying to keep the battery pack at a good temperature. Now it is sinking heat in to an already hot garage so I don't know how much cooling is going on. My general question is how much do I need to worry about this? I am sure I am not the only Tesla owner in Arizona to have a hot garage. There is not really much I can do about it, I think it is better to leave the car in the garage than outside. I am sure folks in cold states have to deal with the opposite problem in the winter time.
Thanks.
