    I wouldn't worry about the batteries. If you did say no to the cooler, and it did get to hot, it would just take longer to charge or the car stops charging until the temperature drops.

    That's because there isn't one. There is one for Traction Battery heater in that location, but not cooler. The cooler is only the pop-up.

    Not the big screen -- that would explain why I haven't seen it, that's where I've been looking! I didn't even know there was a vehicle settings on the MID. <blush>

    So I keep seeing this message as well, but someone previously said that the default is yes(to use the AC). When my message comes up it's already on the "No" selection. Does it still default to yes though? Sorry if someone already answered this before.

    Mine too. Always defaults to no. Even if you change to yes and restart and drive the car before the charge, it will return to no.

    Same here, defaults to no and I have to pick yes every time. I charge in the middle of the night, so it probably isn't needed though.

    this might be the most annoying "feature" ... it should be a SW fix, guess we'll have to wait and see

    You can tell when it runs, there will be a pool of water on your garage floor.

    My car needs to be paper trained.

    Have you ever received an answer on changing the default setting for Traction Battery Cooler to yes?

    Anyone ever sort this out? Would like the pop up to default to yes for Traction Battery Cooling. Honestly i would prefer to not even get the pop up and just always be yes unless i change the setting somewhere to NO.

    Any help on this anyone?
