Has anyone found a way to turn on the heated steering wheel - or the heated rear seats, or the heated wiper nozzles for that matter - without having to also urn on the HVAC system?!!
There always used to be a dedicated "cold weather" tab which allowed direct access to ALL the heated seats, the heated steering wheel etc. - independently of air conditioning.
Please excuse me if I'm wrong, but it appears, that in this v9 design, one can only access the "cold weather" settings via the central "fan" button - which turns air conditioning on whether you like it or not.
Sure, I can see the logic in having all temperature settings in one place - but it's really annoying to have to turn A/C on and then off to adjust one seat temperature! Not living in California, I do need to use heated seats and wheel quite a bit right now (it also lets me drive more efficiently, since A/C and heating uses huge amounts of energy). I like to drive in silence, with a nice warm butt and warm fingers. I'd also like to be able to adjust the temperature of the rear seats without having to:-
(a) Turn on A/C
(b) Click a tab to switch to the "cold weather" panel
(c) Adjust the rear seat temperature
(d) switch back to the A/C panel
(e) turn Off air conditioning
Under v8 I could simply leave the "Code Weather" tab open and make these adjustments with ease.
If someone can find a way to make these adjustments without having to turn A/C and then off again, that would be great. If not, it would be nice if Tesla could make a direct shortcut to the Cold Weather tab - perhaps clicking-and-holding one of the two (front)heated seat icons?
<begin_rant>
And while we're at it: please Tesla, get a decent graphic designer to make those bottom-of-the-screen icons bigger, more elegant and more intelligible - and what's with the Dyson Hairdryer icon? Oh, you're telling me it's a telephone?!
<end_rant>
Cheers, guys!
