2018 LR M3 w/only 21k miles -
While I don’t notice the behavior Sziehr described, I do have the problem others did: when car is warm/hot, climate set to AUTO, the car now takes forever to bring down temp to setpoint. The symptom is the fan speed doesn’t raise above 3 when first getting in. It used to (correctly) blast the fan/AC to quickly bring down cabin temp.
We’ve resorted to knocking down the temp to 65 for first 10 mins or so then going back to setpoint (eg 73)….. Or boosting fan speed manually.
IMO this is a newish software/firmware issue because:
- we’re low miles, we’ve lived in NH for > 2 yrs and AC gets less use
- others are seeing this
- it reads like what we see often from Tesla updates: while trying to fix one thing (complains of fan blasting faces during cooldown) they created another ( AUTO fan not fast enough for cooldown).
We’ve done a few “report problems” from the car so techs have data. Also when we pick Climate problem from Service app it will not allow @ home service…. And nearest is > 2 hrs away. And for some reason the Tesla app isn’t letting me Confirm appt. So whole situation kinda sucks as it appears to be firmware issue but service wants to throw parts at the problem & only @ service centers.
