530e and hot weather

Today, I really, really love my 530e.

Played golf this morning in Scottsdale. Teed off at 7:20 and finished at 11:10. When I got to my car in the parking lot the outside temperature was 112 degrees Fahrenheit. BUT...

I had taken out my phone after the 17th hole and used it to turn on the AC in the car. When I got to the car, it was very comfortable. I didn't even have to turn the AC on max.

For folks living in hot climates, like greater Phoenix or Florida, this is an incredibly wonderful feature.

But I agree with Steve. Love the Climatize on my 530e, especially when it’s charging at the same time and doesn’t use the battery for it.
