It’s a hunch backed by some weekend warrior with a pot roast thermometer. 😉. I honestly don’t think “Max” makes the chiller stronger. But you’re probably right, I’ll leave that to the engineers.

The AC is terrible. It’s so bad, my Porsche is my daily driver in summer. I have 2017, problem is airflow. I’ve trid everything, still terrible.

Yeah so true, but it’s easier than hitting my fan button multiple times to get maximum fan speed then do it again to return it to my normal mid level fan speed. Maybe I’m just that lazy.

If I could choose between a Porsche or 5 series in warm, dry weather I’d probably choose the Porsche as well.
