Model Y Air Blowers on face

[UrbanSplash]

Hi. I still can’t do it. Couple of months in. Has anyone managed to get air blowing directly onto their face (driver side)? If so, could you please show me your airflow graphic. It’s crap. Far worse than the model 3.

Many thanks

isnt it the same part?

I don't have the car yet so can't answer your question but I have to say I am curious.

Why do you want it blasting you straight in the face?

Because I’ve been out running and I’m mega hot!

how tall are you ? I know taller people complained about the same thing on the M3. Maybe the higher driving position on the MY makes the issue worse?

If they're the same as the M3 then you have to deselect the windscreen and footwell fans, and then turn it up to at least 5+ fan speed. Adjust the streams to come together and raise them up through the steering wheel until you feel it.

I am surprised you did not recommend turning it up to 11?

I'm amazed Elon hasn't included that yet. Obviously before his time.

I can’t get mine anywhere near blowing on my face on M3. Quite frustrating when it’s hot as that’s what I prefer

I’m sure that the Model X volume goes up to 11. I had one as a loan car and it made me laugh when it maxed at 11.

I know my S does, AC and stereo volume
And I love cold AC blowing in my face, but it does get hot here in S Texas

Sounds daft but the location of the vents could mean depending on your height the airflow to your face could be deflected by the steering wheel? I also like air on my face - I have a desk fan blowing on my face now, my mazda was great at blowing at the face my M3 not so much but it still cools me down.

Digital vents bring many advantages, such as highly efficient cooling and heating, especially during preconditioning. Some downsides include lack of targetting the flow precisely like a physical vent. Tesla cars are designed for efficiency and not comfort.

Hello everyone. I've started a thread here that I have spoken to a Tesla tech and they've basically confirmed that 2021 onwards China Model 3's (and maybe the Y's) with the Heat Pumps have this fan issue.

Late 2021 onwards MIC Model 3s Have poor/faulty air conditioning from factory

After 4 Months of sending my Model 3 (December 2021, china factory) back to the service center for blowing on my knees and being told that "nothing was wrong" and everything being correct in the dash, it turns out that I was just the first of people noticing that the Model 3 with the new Heat...

Let’s hope they do something via software update. But it’s unlikely

I can't see this being easy for Tesla to change.

my M3 dash developed "bubbles" on it, and it took 4 service appointments to fix it eventually, requiring an entire dashboard transplant (not just the top!)

Hi it's been a few months, has anyone found a definitive solution to this? just received my Y (RHD Australia) and having a similar issue, it really only hits my chin on the max height. Passenger side seems fine.

Best way from my experience is :
1 in order to feel something, select only the main air vents by disabling the windscreen (arrow up) and feet (arrow down) on screen
2 bring the fan speed to at least 5 - 6
3 divide the flow by using two fingers on the stream displayed on screen, then tilting it up slightly

I have found not being very tall helps. Have you tried that?
