I realize that stinky ac is not a Tesla issue but an issue with all cars. However, Tesla is in a unique position that they could *easily* fix it since the car is already location-aware.
I've had this issue in every car I've owned so am already in the habit of turning off the compressor and cranking up the fan when I am within 1 mile of my destination. This dries off the evaporator coils and prevents stuff from growing. It would be great if Tesla's would do this for me automatically (and switch back to auto next time I enter the car).
And while you're at it, maybe add a "This place stinks option" where you can tag a location (near a paper mill, dairy farm, etc) where it automatically switches the air to recirculate until you are out of the zone.
