Can the passenger side air conditioning in Model 3 be turned off?
3 Answers
Model 3 passenger side air conditioning can be turned off. Simply close the air vents. Here is some relevant information about Model 3: 1. Model 3 does not use an aluminum body, so the body size will be reduced by 20% to offset the impact of increased weight on the range. The estimated range of Model 3 is around 320 kilometers. 2. Its dimensions are the same as the current BMW 3 Series. The Tesla Model 3 is 4694mm long, 1849mm wide, 1443mm high, and has a wheelbase of 2875mm. It better meets the needs of most people, with strong practicality. Model 3 introduced Tesla's full lineup design style, with a more rounded front-end design and two brand-new headlights, making it very stylish. 3. Regarding the positioning of this car, its size is smaller than both Model S and Model X. The first two are flagship models of Tesla's different functional vehicle types, representing the brand's previous technology and strength. Model 3 is a more popular product, making Tesla electric vehicles more affordable for more people. Although the battery capacity and range are slightly reduced, the product's technology and functionality have not been compromised, still utilizing Tesla's most advanced technology.
As a Model 3 owner, I can definitely turn off the passenger-side AC separately! Here's my routine after picking up my wife from work: First, tap the fan icon on the central touchscreen to bring up the AC interface. Then look for the small fan icon on the right passenger-side area - see it? Just tap it to bring up the airflow adjustment bar, then slide it all the way to the left. The passenger vents will stop blowing air immediately, while the driver-side AC keeps working normally. This zone control feature is super practical, especially when driving alone in summer - it prevents wasting energy cooling empty seats while maintaining comfort. Tesla's design is quite user-friendly, and the operation is even more intuitive than physical buttons.
Driving an electric vehicle requires some energy-saving techniques, and I've researched how to turn off the Model 3's passenger-side air conditioning separately. On the central control screen's air conditioning interface, there are two independent control zones on the left and right, with the right one representing the passenger side. Simply press and hold the circular dot displaying the airflow level and drag it all the way to the left until the number turns to zero, and it's off. I once tested this on a long-distance trip, and after turning off the passenger-side air conditioning, the energy consumption display dropped by about 3%. If the passenger seat is empty but the air conditioning is still on, the cold air blowing directly onto the empty seat is just a waste, and the leather seat surface can easily become damp. Now I've made it a habit to turn off the air conditioning when the passenger seat is empty, saving power and protecting the interior.
