Are you wondering why the Tesla Model Y the ventilation on the passenger side is constantly running and cannot be switched off? We have the answers for you and show you what you can do about it.

The ventilation control in the Tesla Model Y

In the Tesla Model Y the ventilation system, like many other functions, is controlled via the central display. If you are traveling alone, you can easily switch the ventilation on the driver and passenger side on and off and adjust the intensity and temperature.

What happens if someone is sitting in the passenger seat?

As soon as the vehicle detects that the front passenger seat is occupied, the ventilation behavior changes. The ventilation on the right-hand side can then no longer be deactivated. This can be annoying for the front passenger, especially if they do not need airflow.

Why can't the front passenger ventilation be switched off?

Interestingly, this function is not a bug or a software bug, but has been developed by Tesla intended as such. The exact reasons Tesla not officially announced. However, it is assumed that this was implemented for comfort or safety reasons in order to ensure optimum air conditioning at all times.

What can you do about it?

If you or your passenger are bothered by the constant ventilation, there are a few things you can do:

• Reduce the fan speed: Set the ventilation to the lowest level to minimize the air flow.
• Use manual mode: In manual climate mode, you can fine-tune the ventilation to further reduce the airflow.
• Adjust the air flow: Move the airflow on the display so that it is not directed straight at the front passenger.
• Switch off the entire ventilation system: As a final option, you can deactivate the entire ventilation system, although this can cause the vehicle interior to heat up or cool down more quickly.

Possible technical problems

If the air flow remains unintentionally strong or weak despite all the settings, there may be a technical problem. In this case, a visit to the Tesla service center to rule out a defective servomotor, for example.

Conclusion

The permanently active passenger ventilation in the Tesla Model Y can be annoying, but can be minimized with a few tricks. It remains to be seen whether Tesla will allow more flexibility in ventilation control in future updates.
