It's about 90 deg F today, and the Karma's very strong A/C unit was doing its usual great job chilling the air. In fact it got cool enough that I turned off the A/C (confirmed by the disappearance of the blue coloring from the temperature dial)... but the air remained cool (probably just as cool) for the rest of the drive, more than 30 minutes! About 15 minutes after turning off the A/C, I realized something odd was happening and pressed the OFF button on the climate screen. Both the red (heat) and blue (A/C) colors were now gone. But when I bumped the fan up to 1, the air blowing out was STILL quite cold-- comparable to when the A/C was on. During the entire 45-min drive the cabin remained at ~72 deg F or lower.
Very odd. When it's hot outside does the air flowing in to the cabin pass by cooling elements other than the A/C (e.g., cooling elements used to cool the other systems in the car)? Or is this a bug?
