Fan Speed Slider

20

Description

Offer a slider to set the fan speed.

Competitive/Pricing/Notes

Currently, to change fan speed, you must tap the HVAC button, followed by repeated taps on the +/- buttons to set your desired fan speed. This is especially true for the Model 3/Y, as Model S/X owners at least an option to customize their scroll wheel behaviors.

Since temperature and volume are easily adjustable via sliders with only a single swipe, it would make sense to do the same with fan speed. Fewer menus, fewer taps, more safe/convenient!

This could be implemented by changing the behavior of the already existing HVAC button. Currently, holding the button turns the fan off – this could be changed so that when you hold the button it would bring up the slider instead. Hold + swiping left would then turn off the fans.

I've recommended often why not follow the process on the Nest Thermostat (Thank you Nest/Google). It knows when you are home and learns your normal routines. Works with other non-normal routines as well due to sensing your presence...

Everything on the M3 is sensored.... why not use it!  I think many of the controls should be scroll wheels vice sliders - scroll are more accurate and repeatable.

Please, please, please give us a heater off button. Or better yet give us a mode with 2 temp sliders like the Nest, with a low setpoint where the heater comes on and high setpoint where the AC comes on.

My range would be from 58-72, so any cabin temp in this range there would be no heat and no AC used, only Vent if I so desired.

This would save tons of energy worldwide, and save accidents for people fiddling with the HVAC controls while driving / Autopilot not enabled.a

This feature makes much more sense to mE

As it stands we can vary the temperature with a swiping motion so it makes sense to do the same thing with the fan

Less driver distractibility
