I've been meaning to write a post entitled: Things you could do with cars that you can no longer do.

The top of the list is "Maintain a constant (vent) fan speed".

With all the EVs I've tested, if I want to get warm air on my face at a consistent speed ... it's just not possible. "Auto" is disabled, I've set the fan at a certain speed, and set it to blow only in the top vents. Dial up the temperature, and the fan speed can drop markedly.

Such a simple thing that's worked for decades. And they've made my driving very uncomfortable. I've had an EV for only a few months, and I keep thinking of trading it in for an older Honda. I've installed a USB fan, but ... why? Why am I paying so much more to get an experience I hate?

You can definitely do it with a Tesla. Disable Auto, select the airflow direction and vents, select the fan speed you want (1-10), select the temp you want. Fan speed will not change with temp if manually selected.

I haven't tried it in a Tesla - will try it the next time I'm in one.

The key is to set the temperature to something much higher than the ambient. If you're already in a warm place, the experiment won't work. I've had multiple EV owners claim as you, and then demoed it to them on a cold day.
