This could be a direct quote from my wife. She hates that she can't turn off the air on her side independent of the driver's air. Does anyone know if the Y fixed this?

No dual zone HVAC. Heat pump limitation?

I don't think so. Has she tried using split flows down and to the sides as an alternative?

Mine has, but it "just bounces off the windows back on to me, I hate this AC in your car.".....ugh.
In the same boat. Her: "Can you please stop the airflow on my side?" Me: "No, it can't be stopped, only made warmer." Her: "Seriously, your super high-tech, expensive car can't do something every one of my cars has been able to do over 32 years?" Me: No response, as anything I say at that point will dig a deeper hole.
This is a complete fail, and I really hope this airflow control gets added in a future software update, or I'm going to have to be building some kind of insert for the opening in the dash that blocks the air on the passenger side. Double ugh.

I did see somewhere an insert that goes on the vent and can be slid across to close the airflow, but of course now can't find it, but was pretty simple, probably 3D printed and not horrific to look at. This of course doesn't excuse this oversight, I really hope they add this as a feature if possible.
I don't know other people's wives, but mine would frown upon me fashioning a plug for her yap.
I've noticed this also. I've been checking regularly and have not had an instance where the air stops on the passenger side when unoccupied. Maybe coming in a software update...
It looks like it may some day be possible to disable the passenger vent in the Model Y. In the latest upcoming release notes for 2020.28.1, it looks like the face vent will automatically disable if nobody is sitting in the passenger seat.
So, if it can be automatically disabled, and manually enabled, we know there is at least the physical capability of the system shutting off that vent. It might just be a matter of Tesla adding the option to turn it off manually at some point.

Yes, it seems like it was more work to make this "automatic" with manual disable vs. simply just make it a manual setting to turn it on/off. So over-engineered. Just give us the ability to turn these vents on and off manually like every other car for decades! Think of our sanity and marriages!
