Why would you want this feature knowing that is burning gas that you paid for while idle? Would you be happy about the car releasing toxic gases like CO and NOX while parked?
- jodrellblank 7y agoBecause of the “going to the emergency room twice with heat stroke” thing, I’d guess.
- Johnny555 7y agoBut it seems that "dying of CO poisoning while staying cool from the AC" would be worse?
- ummonk 7y agoYes, and solar roof would prevent that...
- userbinator 7y agoPresumably you park the car outdoors when it's running, where it exhausts into the atmosphere like usual.
- bumby 7y agoThis comment confuses me. The electric energy isn't free, and depending on the source its possibly emitting the same gases (but hopefully at a lower rate due to efficiency gains). I'm all for EVs but I find these types of comments distracting and underscoring a fundamental misunderstanding
- helloguillecl 7y agoParent article is about a solar roof, parent comment wishes such a car to keep AC on while parked. Solar roof = no emissions. Where is the misunderstanding?
- bumby 7y agoYou're right, misunderstanding was on my end
- tomjakubowski 7y agoIf the gas-powered car has a solar roof that's not a problem.
- ummonk 7y agoThat's exactly why I want the feature of a solar roof to power AC - so I don't have to burn gas while idling and release toxic CO and NOX just to stay cool.
