First ‘real’ problem: AC blows warm air

I will run without AC on when ambient temperature is cool enough to just pull in the cool outside air, 60s is about the max. When I have switched to AC which was recent, I noticed the car blows warm air for a lengthy amount of time before blowing cool. I hit Max AC to speed it up after being impatient a few times and then back it off to regular AC mode. I assume you waited long enough to wait it out and it is really out in your Jag.
Yes, even after 30 minutes on Max AC The air blowing through the AC was warmer than the outside air
It was in default mode, so Comfort. I didn’t try it in Eco.
By default it is also left with Smart Climate. But I tried everything to get it to blow cold air, so I tried everything with the climate control, including using Max AC with no improvement.
As my 10 year-old said “Dad, they better fix this or this summer is going to suck”
Yup. After all this cold, I finally tried to use the A/C last week and it doesn’t work. It is booked in on Thursday to take a look. I don’t recall ever trying it in the past, so I don’t know if it has ever worked or not.
Bummed as well.

Could be related to H193NAS2, which is an outstanding campaign for my car (though the AC does work on my car). Says it is to fix potential won't start issue, reverse lights flashing, air quality system not working, climate control not working, and noisy climate control fans. Potentially affects VINs 60001-72491.
Mine actually has very little impact on predicted range. Maybe because it doesn’t work?
With it not having much impact on range that sounds like the software issue might be it, that it just isn't turned on the equipment.
I've seen such a drop (25-30mi of range), but only when MAX AC used or I dialed up 4 or 5 with "LO" temp, which is usually only to cool the car upon entry after it sat in the midday Florida sun. Once things cool off and I "dial down" (literally) to a 2 with "76" as the temp, the differential (between off and on) is only 5-10 mi.
No AC problems, though, like reported above. JLR wouldn't dare deliver a car with broken AC in Florida, any month of the year. Lives would be at stake!

It's already been up to 99 here (Phoenix). No trouble with my A/C. Where I live, if the car doesn't have functioning A/C, it's a broken (unusable) car - in the day time. The "pre-condition now" button is great! (I'm going inside this store for 20 minutes, but keep my car cool, please!)

My car is a new to me 2019 and there is no issue to date with the climate control cooling. My VIN is later than what is listed above. I did notice today that the range dropped by exactly 10 miles when I turn on AC (not max, 80% charge) in comfort mode and jumps up 10 if I turn it off. My car only has 800 miles so perhaps this info is preliminary as the car learns about me. With mostly highway driving today mixed with some city, the range for the 100 mile trip used about 108 in actuality so with some aggressive driving and AC on, not too inaccurate.
Those numbers seem about right.

I have the same problem, A/C works for the first 5-15 minutes then stops. there is an a/c post just below this one with a few comments in it. My car was dropped off at the dealership today. I will let you know what they find.
