HVAC Air Re-circulation setting changes

[gmtom1]

Is there a way to keep the air re circulation setting on all the time? I turn it on, but I'll discover later in the same drive or on subsequent drives, the it turns off again. I haven't been able to determine if there's a pattern or reason why it turns off. I've already tried "saving" it to my driver profile, but I don't think that is one of the settings that get saved, because I don't see a "saved" flash on the profile name when I toggle it on/off, whereas it does show "saved" when I make changes to where the vents point.

The recirculate setting always stayed on when I had my X, but I'm constantly having to go back in to turn it back on in the 3 and it's annoying. You'd think the programming for the basic functionality features would be the same across all the cars.

It's turning recirc. off to reduce the possibility of spreading COVID-19.
Is there a reason you want to keep recirc on all the time besides when using MAX A/C?

Isnt it good to use recirc when having temps below 22 degrees celcius?

windows usually fog up if you leave re circulation on in many situations.

I left recirculation on all the time in my X and I'd like that functionality back in the 3. I didn't want outside smells coming into the cabin, and it also makes the fan stronger and air cooler. I'm in Hawaii, so, low temps are not really an issue, and I rarely had problems with fogging up the windows.

I’m in a rainy place and yes the windows fog up. Clean windshield helps a lot. Also turn on the AC to dehumidify the car. If it fogs a lot I use the defroster, no way around it. I’m still able to get about 270Wh/mi though. Not giving up the car!
