Worth noting that the car may appear to be warm and mist free but it can still be ‘foggy’ in the front camera which is, I suspect, what controls the auto de-fogging. Until that is clear TACC may not be available, or the wipers may operate on a dry screen. Took me ages to realise this was the problem one day on a motorway drive where I had put the AC into manual to stop the auto defogging. Allowed it to run and the problems went away.It’s doing this for me too, very frustrating!
You can set the heating controls to manual and that will turn off the auto defogging.
I tested that a couple of weeks ago. It turns off auto climate control if you do that, IIRC.Call up the full climate window and turn off the feed to the screen there - it turns off the defogger. Not sure if it stays off though.
The disadvantages are:I keep being surprised about people who want to micro-manage their car's automatic functions for very little or no reward.
The auto-defogging function is yet another example. It has no discernible disadvantage if it runs for a little longer. Warm air that would be blown into the car anyway is blown over the windshield. So what?
For me it doesn't stay on "for a bit longer", it can go on for over an hour.I keep being surprised about people who want to micro-manage their car's automatic functions for very little or no reward.

the portion over the camera used to be separately heated. There have been thermal imaging pictures of it. it had elements like a rear windscreen.Tesla's software breaks the "principle of least astonishment" regularly. The driver eventually gets used to how it works, and then an update comes along to change it again.
I highly doubt anyone wants to micromanage their climate controls. What they actually want is simple - they want it to work in a predictable manner that they can adjust to suit their needs.
Instead, they get software that tries to "auto" everything, but tends to not do a very good job of "auto", resulting in confusing behavior that actually *doesn't* meet the user's needs.
The reality is that "auto" implies that there's no subjectively to climate needs... so it will always be insufficient for a number of users.
Personally, I was quite surprised recently when the climate system in my car kept turning on by itself after I turned it off. This is my 4th Winter owning the car and this has never happened... so it felt more like a defect than an intentional feature. My windshield was not foggy at the time, but perhaps the small portion covered by the camera housing was.
I've had this recently. Last year it didn't do it, this year its doing it constantly. So I put it in for remote service and the guys said there are no problems remotely. If it keeps happening then to bring it in.Hi any idea how to turn off the auto de-fogging function? It ends up staying on for ages even when the car is all up to temperature & all the windows are de-fogged etc
auto defogging, blasts HOT air up and it ends up in your face. You can't turn it off without turning off Auto and turn down manual heat to 1.I keep being surprised about people who want to micro-manage their car's automatic functions for very little or no reward.
