Please send email to [email protected] that says the following:
1) In Auto mode fan does not blow hard when the interior temperature is significantly different from the target temperature. It should blow harder as the current temperature is farther from the target. The fan has never gone past 50% speed while in Auto Mode even when the interior is 40-50 degrees, the target temp is 72, and the heater is producing heat. In other words, if I manually bump up the fan, the interior gets warmer quicker. Similarly, when the interior was hot, I had to bump up the fan to cool it quicker. I should not have to do that if the system is advertised and sold as Automatic.
2) The remote climate control turn on feature is set for a target of 78. It should use the temperature I set the last time I was in the car (which generally never changes).
3) The remote climate control turn on feature does not seem to slow the fan when the temperature is close to 78. The fan should be controlled automatically, unless we have more options on the phone, it should assume Auto Mode. As the temperature nears the target, the fan should slow down.
4) In Auto mode I should not have to repeatedly hit the defrost button to clear the windshield. The A/C should run to dehumidify the air as necessary.
5) The heater should not take minutes to deliver heat. It is an electric car and that means it should be able to blow heat into the interior within seconds. I understand that this might be caused by the fact that it has to heat water first, so this is probably not something that can be fixed via software update. However, Nissan should be informed that putting water into the system and ruining the fact that electric cars can produce heat quickly is not something consumers expect, and we should not forgive them for this.
It is possible that the engineers were attempting to get maximum range when they choose to make the system as it is now. That was a mistake. 99% of the time the driver is not in need of getting maximum range out of the car. The engineers should assume that the driver would like the HVAC system to spend the energy necessary to achieve the desired temperature/humidity in Auto Mode. To extend the range, the driver can take the system out of Auto Mode.
Please provide a system update that will fix as many of these as possible.
Thank you.
