If I have the system set to bring outdoor air inside and heat it, and the temperature both inside and outside the vehicle is far above the dew point, using the AC is pointless.

v11 software update SUCKS

This. The car should behave in the most expected / least unexpected way. Turning something on and then off shouldn't result in another thing being turned on.
No... I mean that I would like to be able to turn off the passenger side but keep the driver’s or backseat air conditioner on (or any combination)

By the way, if you haven’t yet gotten the latest update which allows you to place the defrost, wiper icons in your tray, do the following:
Go to controls, software update, and then click on ‘Advanced’. Make sure you check this option. Your car will receive the software updates as soon as they become available for your config.
I got mine 30 minutes after I checked that option.
I am sure a lot of you know this, but I just wanted to post this anyway.

As a data point, that did not work for me. What did was rebooting the car. The update showed up about 30 minutes later, and the update to the update a few days after that.

If you’re in FSD beta then your updates are limited and you’ll have to wait for the next FSD update to get any other features (or in this case bug fixes.)
Updates are staggered. If they release an update to everyone at the same time, their servers would be *very* busy all at once, then idle until the next update.
Instead, the roll an update out to a given number of vehicles, then to more, then to more until everyone has it. Sometimes you're at the front of the line, sometimes the end. Probably there are 2 queues... Advanced gets it first, then standard.
It never worked this way though and in fact every car i've owned has always required you to turn "off" the HVAC after turning on the front defogger if there's a way to turn on the defogger alone.
btw, something that has always worked to turn off has been to press and hold the temperature value.

The last couple of cars I've owned would revert to the previous state when the defroster was turned off. In older cars that had mechanical systems the fan and defroster were separate controls, anyway.

Actually, even in cooler weather it makes sense to run the A/C for clearing moisture. The A/C coils condense moisture out of the air and provide dry air to get the humidity off the windscreen.
In a real car, I mean the kind that had controls for the heat and the flaps, all separate, and under the user's control... I could set the air to blow on the windscreen, decide how much heat or cooling to give it and get the job done the best way. But in a car with a button on the dash to open the glove box (rather than a button on the glove box) we can't be putting too many buttons on the dash. Right? Wait... that's not right!
I keep coming back to one basic thought that explains it all. Tesla SUCKS!

Lots of talk about the HVAC controls. I was upset they mucked with the map interface. Then they did it again. I had just gotten used to having to tap the map, then tap the controls that came up to change the map "view" for want of a better term, so I could see the details of expected state of charge, etc. The other day, after an update, I keep messing up the display and can't figure out what I'm doing wrong. They've brought back the map display buttons! So I don't have to do a dozen taps just to find the button I want.
I am a strong believer the touch screen display is going to cause accidents. People say this is not showing up in the accident data, but I'm not convinced. Hell! I've had to reboot the thing while driving when it locked up on me. I lose the speedo (required by law) and every other readout. I've even had the durn thing reboot without my asking! With Windows it's the Blue Screen of Death. With Tesla, it's a Black Screen of Death, hopefully not literal.

While I think not having vents that can be independently closed/opened is a huge mistake and can make trips unpleasant for either passenger or driver….the trick of using two fingers to separate the airflow can mitigate this somewhat

Little-known alternate fact: Tesla’s UI is based on Windows Vista…there were copies left over for cheap. With apologies to Stephen Colbert, spread the ”truthiness.”
Each person has 2 streams of airflow. You can bring up the climate screen and move those streams around by dragging, and you can separate them by using 2 fingers.
