> I bought a 3 year old car because the new model only did climate control in the on-screen menu. This complaint always feels so weird to me. I don’t love the initial experience of setting up climate control on a touch screen, but it’s literally something you only need to do once ever. New cars aren’t like old cars, climate control is set and forget now. We’re far past the time of having to constantly adjust it in order to maintain your desired temperature.

I mean, these kinds of assumptions are exactly why so many people complain about it. Who is the "we" in your statement? Different people are different. They have different preferences and needs, so any change in people within the car requires changing the system... It's why cars have zones of climate control for everyone. Also, body temperature and ambient temperature are two different things, and different people feel varying levels of discomfort when their bodies are too hot or cold. Some people's bodies regulate their body temperature in different ways. Think the elderly, people of varying BMIs, or someone going through menopause. Also there's countless situational reasons someone might have a body temperature that is different than ambient temperature. Eg it's very cold out and someone just got in the warm car and they need to warm their hands. If you find yourself surprised when so many people complain about a problem that you're not experiencing, you might want to ask them instead of assuming they're ignorant.

Do people with decent HVAC setups at home really need to adjust their settings very often? What for?

    > You only need to set it once. Set what once? Are you saying the car knows you just finished a jog and are particularly hot...? > Do people with decent HVAC setups at home really need to adjust their settings very often? What for? I literally just explained. One example was hot flashes. A single human's body can vary in temperature depending on their conditions. That's it. You're completely negating the human body in your list of variables... And again... just ask yourself why people complain about it. Is everyone ignorant, or is there perhaps something those people physically experience that you happen to not be aware of?
