This is honestly the reason I never leave my kids in the car when running a quick errand. Someone will think I am being neglectful and report me, even if it is just a couple minutes and they are objectively safer in the car then me walking them across a busy parking lot.
For those not from the US—despite the freedom loving, gun toting, Wild West international reputation the US has—American society can be rather litigious.
- hedora 4y agoMy EV has a button for this purpose. It runs the AC when it's off and burns about 1% battery in 30 minutes. I've had one person look suspiciously at the car, then hear the compressor running, and wander off. (The kids know how to escape from their seats anyway...) Edit: I only use it on borderline days. It's reliably cool when it's under 90, so I only use it under 80. At 95-100, the hot side of the compressor overheats. I would not use this with an infant.
