Keep passenger AC on

[az_1325]

I purchased a white Plaid in Arizona. As you can imagine, it is very hot these days.

The battery drained at about 10% per day parked at work, if I keep cabin protection on, so I decided to turn that off. On the flip side, now the cabin interior gets to 150 degrees. The issue I am having is that only the driver vents open up when I start the car, and that is not remotely enough to cool the car, even running for 10 mins. The car remains super hot.

When I go to vents, and manually open the passenger vent, then the car cools off quickly. My questions, is there a way to have both vents open by default? In other words, is there a way to reverse this update

Tesla launches update with ridiculously small change showing commitment to efficiency ?

Thank you in advance

Been looking to do the same in 2021 MY... defaults only to drivers side. Looking to default to BOTH driver and passenger on cold days as well.

If you set the upward-facing vent to on, that overrides the passenger automatically being off if they're not in the car.
