How do the ventilated seats work? I hate the Y seats gets swamp butt in summertime.I believe I've figured it out.. this "auto" button has to be turned on to control the climate. Not very intuitive but seems to work now.

Ventilated seats are great, and use forced HVAC ducts to the seats for cooling. Very few ventilated seats in the market are good, and thankfully this is one of them.How do the ventilated seats work? I hate the Y seats gets swamp butt in summertime.
it is a glycol based exchanger and it sure can ice up under the correct outdoor conditions and airflow will be restricted.The Tesla heat pump system does not have a refrigerant to air heat exchanger on the exterior of the car. As such, there is nothing to ice up and there are not the defrost cycles found in more traditional home heat pump systems.
Thanks for that insight, that’s so great to hear. This is the value of posting and sharing on these forums.My M3P 2021 was recalled to swap out the heating and cooling sensors. Before this it did exactly what you’re describing even set to high it sometimes wouldn’t blow anything other than cool air, now it works perfectly. I would imagine the sensors are the same so could be a faulty batch.
Interesting. For me, the problem is to do with the auto setting. After a while at auto set to e.g. 71F it will blow cooler air for me at times. I solved it by just using manual 71F. For me at least this comes across as a software bug.Don’t know if this helps. The initial notice was an alert from the car.View attachment 746359
No range mode. No energy Graph, No carwash Mode. No Creep mode. No Regen setting mode. No side widgets on cluster. I'm sure I missed 20 more.A post above made me realize that I don't believe my Plaid has "range mode" like my old Model S did... Is that the case? I certainly haven't found it in the menus. Can someone confirm?
....and in my case, no workie, either.No range mode. No energy Graph, No carwash Mode. No Creep mode. No Regen setting mode. No side widgets on cluster. I'm sure I missed 20 more.
If there is no Energy graph, how do people see any restrictions on power or regenerative braking?No range mode. No energy Graph, No carwash Mode. No Creep mode. No Regen setting mode. No side widgets on cluster. I'm sure I missed 20 more.
Same here and I have a Yoke Model S 2021 LR not plaid. I haven't figured out a pattern yet.My S plaid heating is also a problem at times. I sometimes find it blowing cold air with the heat on high (yes, ac is off)
I am in Montreal and I also get blowing cold air early on in the heating process. They should prevent the fans from blowing until the temperature of the air gets warmer. I did not have this on my P100DI just picked up my Plaid yesterday. First impression is the car is amazing, but the heating system is awful. It’s inexcusable how bad the heating is for any car much less a car in this price range. It reminds me of a VW Beetle from the 1970s.
My impression with my 2015 Model S is that the fan either does not start, or starts at very low speed, until the air is warmed up significantly. Which is how my Mercedes cars worked, if they had Automatic Climate Control (and I agree that should be the preferred behavior).I am in Montreal and I also get blowing cold air early on in the heating process.

I totally agree. The Stickies continuing from 2012 is just plain stupid.I'm VERY glad you brought this up @David29...
I was very surprised when the term "Raven" caught up extremely fast among the Tesla and non-Tesla community, both online and offline, especially considering Raven is the internal name used by Tesla, (Abstract Ocean even sells "Raven" stickers).
But on the other hand, unfortunately, Palladium is the internal name used for the new S and X platform, but nobody calls them Palladiums outside of Tesla. Instead, people usually refer to them as "Plaids", but as you know, that's a trim level within the Palladium platform.
It would help A LOT to maybe "educate" the community if we could divide the Model S Forum Sections here on TMC to something like:
2012 - 2016 (WhiteStar),
2016.5 - 2019 (S2),
2019.5 - 2021 (Raven),
2021- (Palladium).
Just my 2¢...
