Tesla y cabin temperature warning when parked at 70° outside

Easy enough to check, but actually 105 is not very hot for a closed car in the sun. It typically gets much hotter.

Folks, you seem to think that the windows are the ONLY way that heat can get into the car.

There are many ways.

Look at the car, what isn't glass? There's a lot of metal.
Put your hand on the pavement, that all gets radiated into the car.

I remembered this specific thread, and this OP (who it appears has not posted again on TMC ) talking about, basically " Why did my cabin overheat protection activate, its only 70 degrees outside and multiple people reminding them that it gets very hot in cars (ALL cars) even when its not super hot outside (and that kids and pets die every year because of it).

Three Kids Died In Hot Cars In Just The Last Week

That brings this year's total hot car deaths to six, and summer hasn't even officially begun.

For those that do not want to click the link, the temp was in the 70s or 80s, not "super hot".

It gets hot in all cars, even if its 70 degrees outsde, and kids and pets should never be left in a car (cabin overheat protection or not, really). It was also to try to prevent tragedies like the one above.
