Sure, that sucks. But I’m not saying there are zero downsides, I’m specifically countering the argument that there are “no good reasons” with my personal good reasons.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 month ago (1 children)

it really depends whether that counts as a good reason. for us the downsides highly outweigh the upsides.
and yes, I know what it's like to sit in a hot car when I just got back to it on the hot summer day. but I can really wait 2 minutes outside the car when it's that bad

Man, I'll never understand this "car is too hot for me to sit in" to be honest. Lmao. Sounds to me like people are too spoiled and this is something kids say. Come one, you really think of this is as an issue? I don't even have an ac in my car. It broke over 4 years ago and I never fixed it. But for each their own I guess.

it was a fucking example, man. but there are places where if you left the car in the direct sun on the summer, a few hours later it will have 40-45 °C or so in there.
