Hi all, our MYLR is 6 weeks old now and I'm loving it. However my wife keeps complaining about the smell of wet socks in the cabin. I can't really smell it but she says it's awful. Anyone else experienced this?

Wet Socks

Can happen if the air filters get wet - no hot engine to dry them out.
Used to be a much bigger issue, and why the cars now run the a/c for some time after parking.
After driving in rain I tend to blast the a/c on high for a few minutes.

Ahah. Yes that might explain the issue. Even though I've turned off 'maintain cabin temperature', the air conditioning was still running each time I got out of the car so I've been turning it off manually before leaving the car.
Yeah, don't do that. It only runs for a short while.
Check the floor (under the floor mats) for dampness. If you've been running the AC, there might be a clogged AC hose if the floors are damp.
Hi mate, yes up here in Noosa Heads, QLD, we run our air conditioning pretty much all year round. Sub-tropical climate. I will do as you say. Thanks.
Why would you do that? Even before the heat pump was a thing, the air con maintains several other systems that may still need to run when the car isn't being driven. Battery pack cooling for example.
