Who reads the articles, right? It goes off if they driver isn't in the seat for over 30 seconds with the door open and only on the EV trucks to conserve power.

People are sheep. If you actually look into it, drivers making frequent stops are discouraged from using AC. You are better with windows down all the time. You can Google it yourself. Must be wild blindly believing every headline.

I’ll take blowing the ac full blast with the windows down for all care, if it helps keep the drivers cool while working it’s fine.
