anyone else notice this? my heater only starts blowing hot air once the engine reaches operating temperature.

my tires don’t move when the car is in park? is this a dealer issue?

it’s almost like the heater just uses heat from a nearby gasoline-powered source.

you forgot to preheat your engine with a gas burner. check the owner’s manual.

if you want instant heat, that’s probably a subscription in the toyota app.

same with my 2023. remote start doesn’t help much, but once i start driving, the cabin warms up in 2-3 minutes.
