Model 3 has a button to turn off the AC but unlike most other cars, it has nothing to prevent the heater from activating.
Here on the Central Coast of California, it is quite cool in the mornings and evenings and unless I manually set the temperature way down until I hear the fan and heat go off, the heater comes on to warm up the car, using up significant battery and range. Turning it to manual fan with AC off does not prevent the heat from activating. Is there a way to prevent the heat from coming on while maintaining fresh air and, when necessary, AC to dehumidify and prevent fogging of the windshield? Thanks for your help and wisdom
