Fans running after car has been parked for days

[bn8959]

I have a J1.2 on loan at the moment.
It’s been parked in my drive, locked for a few days. I don’t have access to it via the app; it’s not plugged in. But I just spotted the fans were running on it.
Has anyone seen this before?
It’s currently 37 degrees C here right now. So the only thing I can think of it’s just decided it’s too hot and wants to cool itself (seems mad) or maybe it’s just happened to power itself on to recharge the 12v.

really odd to see the car ‘alive’ when it’s been parked and locked for several days.

Battery temperature management is a 24/7 job, so the car is actively managing it at all times, even when 'off'

Sure you didn’t wake it up with Comfort Access when you approached?

No didn’t have key and car doesn’t have that option. Which is why I was so surprised. I went back and got key to see if it had decided to precool itself (maybe someone with access to Porsche Connect at the dealership had been fiddling - it is a loaner from the OPc) but it wasn’t precooling. It’s hot here, but not like equator hot, so if it does start cooling itself after days of being parked up at around 35 degrees ambient, it must be doing this all the time in really hot places - which is why I was wondering if other people were aware of this behaviour. Maybe only j1.2 does it?

I have only witnessed this behaviour when the battery was very hot after DC charging. I have never witnessed this after being parked for a period of time. Perhaps, it is uniqure to the J1.2. My experience is with two J1's.
