Left my A/C on MAX for 5 hrs

Maybe a silly question, but how did you keep the AC on for 5 hours without the car going to sleep? I thought if no one’s in the car, it turns off in about 15 mins. Or did you just leave your key card by the cup holder?

I was about a half mile from my car.
I opened the Tesla app and when my car woke up, I pressed the A/C button.

I have heard that when you use that button it puts the HVAC in "auto" mode at the set temperature, so it won't matter what fan speed you left the car at.

So using the app the turn on the AC keeps it running for 5+ hours?

It will run until you shut it off or the battery reaches 20%

Good to know, thanks!
