Let me paint a picture for you: MYLR parked in garage, I unplug from the WC and right before we start driving the tesla app shows interior temp 72, exterior 73 before getting in. Actual outside temp was 70 degrees.
Wife and I have a 20 minute drive to dinner with friends. Here in the Chicago area we have a rain system pushing in from the West with a ton of humidity in it's midst. (98% humidity at the moment) The rain hasn't started yet but humidity was in the 90% range.
So we start driving with my typical HVAC setting since getting my Model Y in early Sept has been 65 degrees with fan at speed of 3. Never experienced windshield fogging keeping all else constant (never turned on or off recirculation) - but it came on from the SC where I picked it up so i decided to leave it on - if that makes a difference to anyone? never used auto and never had to use the defrosters until tonight. Fan's pointed at us.
So we barely get 5 minutes out of our neighborhood and I'm hitting the wiper button every 30 seconds - 1 minute to clear up condensation that is causing visibility issues for me. I hit the defroster button and it starts to get worse. What gives?
At this point my wife is asking WTF is going on, what is this janky POS you got me driving around in. I had to pull over and park to look at the HVAC settings to see what is going on, still couldn't figure it out. I suspect that maybe recirculating the air was causing the issue but at the time with my wife reaming me out, I didn't think to turn it off.
I never had these issues in my previous BMW's. I'd crank the AC low, throw on the defroster without recirculating air and in these types of conditions I had the muscle memory dialied in that I could make all these adjustments while driving and keeping my eyes on the road.
So, what would your preferred HVAC settings be in the conditions I described.
