Press the "CLIMATE" button on the center console panel, or tap the "Air Conditioning" icon on the main entertainment screen. You can set the fan speed level, air conditioning outlet mode, and internal/external circulation through the corresponding icons on the air conditioning buttons or the air conditioning settings interface. When the main entertainment screen is not on the air conditioning settings interface, adjust the air conditioning settings via the center console panel. The main entertainment screen will briefly pop up with air conditioning setting information. The system automatically controls the fan speed and air outlet mode to heat or cool the cabin to the desired temperature.
Turning on the rear air conditioning in a Tesla Model 3 is super easy. Having driven this car for over a year, I find the operation very intuitive. After getting in and starting the vehicle, the main menu appears on the screen—just tap into the climate control interface. There, you'll see temperature settings for the entire car. If you specifically want to adjust the rear, there's usually no need for a separate switch since the AC operates as a whole system. However, when adjusting airflow direction and intensity, icons for vent directions are displayed on the screen. Simply select the rear mode, like increasing fan speed or setting it to blow toward the legs, and the back seats will cool down instantly. If you feel the rear passengers are cooling too slowly, ensure the front and rear zones are synchronized instead of being set separately. Remember, setting the temperature around 26°C is most comfortable. Regularly clean the vents when parked to prevent dust buildup from affecting airflow. Overall, Tesla's touchscreen makes managing rear AC incredibly smart—just a few taps, and even kids in the back seat say they never feel too hot during family trips.
