Heating doesn't work

[JoMit]

Hi all,

If i pre heat on the app it is nice and toasty, but if i just get in car and then put heating on its not getting hot at all even after a couple of miles. I know it doesn't heat up in the regular way an ICE would but surely I don't have to pre heat every time?

Thanks

In cold weather I think you do need to - as you say, EV’s have no engine to produce the initial heat and the radiant heaters take a bit of time and so does the heater system. I miss the heated windscreen in the previous car - even more of a loss in the Lexus as the screen tends to mist up without the initial warm air blower. Similarly, having driven a RX with a digital rear view mirror, I don’t understand why that isn’t even an option on a car without a rear wiper. With the washer on the camera it would very helpful at seeing out the back !
