I know it's a meme, but I'm going to rant for a bit.
The MT version of the air conditioner is the two knobs, one for temp and the other for fan speed. The AT is the temp setting where you pick a temp and the air blows until it's that temperature.
And the MT is far superior in every way. Most car trips, you're not in your car long enough to stabilize the temp, and if you're like me, you never bother with anything between max cool and max heat anyway.
“Max cool / max heat only” is for troglodytes. While I agree that the auto-settings are ~useless, the One True Method is to keep the fan speed on low to maintain airflow and adjust the temp for comfort.
That's my strategy most of the time except during prime time Oklahoma Summers and Winters. Once it's over 100 or below 10, it becomes a max heat/cool game otherwise it would do nothing to combat the temperature
Nah. I like just leaving it on Auto with 70-72 °F. It blasts the fan to cool off or warm up quick in extreme temps, then calms down once it gets closer to the temp.
Why use the air at all if you don't want it warmer or cooler? And if you want it warmer or cooler, why not use the max setting until it reaches the desired temperature? You're using the same amount of energy, it just takes longer and you're uncomfortable longer.
Because moving air keeps the cabin from getting stuffy. I’ll crank it to the extremes to get the bulk of the temperature change done, but then dial it in to a comfortable neutral temperature once that’s accomplished.
So you do what I do exactly, but you use buttons to adjust a temperature rather than turning dials to set the temp and airflow, which is objectively worse.
