Just curious if anyone has experienced the air conditioning failing to blow cold air? Fan blower works normal but not blowing cold air. Have tried recirc/fresh air setting but no joy. Hard reset didn't fix it. Service has referred it to diagnostics but haven't heard from them. Coincedentally noticed it shortly after last update - not sure if it's related or not. Anyone else have this experience and been able to identify remedy?

I've noticed that too, particularly that the AC was mostly fine on delivery but got worse at some point a few weeks ago. But in my case, I'm also not getting updates due to an unrelated issue, so I am not actually on the most recent software build. So for me if it's software related, it happened a few versions ago.

I've got an SC appointment in about four weeks and that's on the list.

Mine had this same issue. Blew cold when I picked it up and degraded over a few weeks

Cause: Cut O'ring for A/C pressure sensor at condenser
Fix: Replace the condenser

Cold as ice since.

This one, that one and the other one.

Mine did the same thing, but a hard reboot solved the issue.

Doesn't mean that's your problem as it could actually be a problem with the AC somewhere, but would at least try it. Can't hurt.

I learned with the Tesla and continued with the Rivian, any issues, try a reboot first. I tell people the same thing about their phones or computers at home. Now, the same applies to our cars. Then if the problem persists, call Service

UPDATE: completed a service visit only to find a pinched O-ring that allowed the refrigerant to escape. New O-Ring and new refrigerant solved the problem.
