today i'm melting the snow off my windows by pre-conditioning the cabin. Just for fun

Takes awhile! Lol. But when I tried there was 4 inches of snow.

4 inches on top of car? No melting that. On the ground? Easy to drive thru that. Would love to lower my car w the 3-D printer stuff mentioned here but love being ready to handle 6+ of snow

I don’t remember how it did exactly! It was a not ago and I didn’t take a pic

But I thought maybe I could see two parts of the windshield where the interior defrost was particularly strong. So I remember thinking it didn’t do as bad as I expected.

Just realized that if you open the trunk with the keyfob and the car is locked, then you can’t close the hatch unless you have a key. It will stay open unless you have the key on you or close it using the fob. The hatch button doesn’t work if you don’t have the keyfob with you.

I have a 2019. My door locks are set up to only onlock the drivers door with one click of the electric unlock. Then hiding the electronic key 20' away behind my house water heater, I tried opening the trunk/hatch and couldn't. Then I got the electric key and gave it another unlock command. All the doors unlocked. And again hid the electronic key. I walked over to the hatch and the hatch opened using the rubber button on the hatch. I waited a minute then reached up and touched the rubber button on the hatch and it closed, no key nearby. I could not get the little buttons to lock the doors either.

The only reason I noticed was because I opened the I pace trunk while it was locked from the house. Then went outside without the keyfob, got what I needed and then realized I couldn’t close the door with the button. I don’t know if I could’ve manually forced it closed, but I bet that would’ve set off the alarm.

Haha, I did take pics. That's the fun part, especially watching the hood snow slowly melt as well. Interesting how either the heat eventually transfers to the frunk and or how heat eventually comes from the frunk. It would take a sciencegeek to explain that one

I parked it outside in about an inch of accumulated slush, mix of snow and ice. The cabin pre conditioning melting the windshield and most of the roof as well. Guess that pano roof means less scraping
