HOT! "Fans running to protect displays" message

[Hellfire]

Went to turn my AC on with the app and noticed it was already cooling. It had a message saying “fans running to protect displays”. Is that new or has anyone seen that before? It’s crazy hot here in FL.

Normal. Think this kicks on once the in-cabin temps reach around 120° F or so.

Nothing yet. Temp inside my R1T in my FL garage is reporting 95-97 lately. How hot is yours?

Mine is about 95f in the truck sitting in the garage and pushing about 138f outside.

can i configure the truck to cool the cabin based on a preset temp so i don't have to monitor the app manually?

I don’t believe they have that feature yet.

I think we need an R1 screen grab of this. I thought it was bad when Seattle had a 113 heat bubble a couple summer ago. But you win.

They need to copy that from tesla. Cabin overheat protection.

You’re probably seeing the same temps in your vehicle if not higher. I meant the temp in the truck sitting outside not ambient temps.

Mine said 135 here today in Colorado when I opened my app to turn the ac on before leaving work. I'm not sure what the threshold is for it turning on the fans or ac to protect the screens.

I’m curious myself as when ever I’ve checked the app I feel like I need to turn on the air to cool it down. Does anyone know what the preset threshold is?

Kind of stating the obvious, but I've started venting the windows as often as I can remember to which really seems to moderate the inside temps.

You do that here in FL and you might end up with a seat full of water. It’s Sunny one minute and downpours the next.

Normal - and a great feature as rising temps will be harder and harder on vehicles over the coming vehicles.
