Description

Model 3 prone to have moldy smell when Air Conditioner left on after leaving the car. It would be great if one could set a trigger to turn off the AC and turn on the fan only for a few minutes after parking brake state change to on.

or if approaching home when AC is on, set to fan only for few minutes and turn it off completely.

HVAC mode operation only has heat/cool and off. But no fan only, is there a way to add it?

Thanks a ton!
