Looks like the ambient temperature... Dubai is competing with NorthWest Canada.

Do you have panoramic roof and did a/c keep up?
I've never driven in that much heat (hopefully I never will) but just curious on a/c performance in this heat.

You should take a roadrip to Las Vegas, it is not too far. It is going to be 108F/42C (in shade) tomorrow.

It was 117F (47C) when I was there last week. Doubt AC would have trouble, as not having to remove moisture from the air makes AC a lot more efficient

Why are your driving assistances off??

I always drive with the assistance systems off. I only activate them when I am in a situation where I feel they will be needed (heavy traffic, for example).

I drive a Taycan metallic black in Dubai with a panoramic roof and the AC is very effective. The cars made for this region (GCC spec) are built for the hot climate and there may be a difference in the AC parts/settings.

I got annoyed with them for daily use. Would only use for long road trips.

You can feel the heat from above. I installed a 30% tent to help but still. I can’t find an aftermarket shade like the Tesla’s

Let’s compare battery temps this summerfor the UAE and other hot weather folk. My daily commute is 130Km and the car sits in an outdoor shaded area while charging at work. Should be interesting to see range numbers in the first summer with AC and radiators working hard.
Currently ambient temperature is around 29-34 C in the day and the battery temp maxs out at 32C at highway speeds.
