> The screens melt in Arizona heat.
That's a very old talking point about the original Model S screens from ~2012. Do you have any recent justification for this claim?

This is not to helpfully make sure the driver gets into a nice cool car when they finish their errand. It’s because the non-automotive grade screen isn’t rated or tested above 40C and were failing in heat. Rather than upgrade the part and do a recall Tesla opted to just use battery to keep the cabin below 40-45C.
I love EVs, but that’s some pretty dodgy behaviour.
This is not really an option in an ICE car because it would require running the engine. In an EV, it's easy.
