How do I get just outside ventilation, No heat or AC?

[zardoz]

On every other car I have ever owned. You can just switch off the AC and the vents blow outside air.
How is this accomplished in the Taycan HVAC menu?

Press climate on main screen or 'menu A/C' on center console screen. On the ventilation screen, press 'OFF' (lower par of screen)

Hmm. I think for what you want, you would go to the climate screen and switch off "A/C" (also ensure "ECO" is off), but set a non-zero fan speed (on the console pad).

IIRC Off turns off everything (compressor/heat pump AND the fans). I think you can get what you want in Range mode, which gives you an HVAC menu option for Eco Plus (which does not use the compressor, only outside air). If indeed this is the only way though, that's an annoyance.

So needlessly complicated & absurd. On a nice 67 degree day,
I don’t want AC, just some fresh air in cabin. This my main gripe with the Taycan. Fussy, complicated HVAC controls

How is it complicated? Press climate menu, press A/C OFF.

or open window

So is the workflow turn the AC off, then adjust the fan speed to something other than AUTO? I tried to turn the AC OFF, then adjust the temperature to match the outdoor temperature, and the remaining mileage still dropped precipitously as if the compressor/heat pump was still running.

There was another thread and I posted a video of how to do it here:

Just turn AC off and adjust the fan manually.

If you turn off A/C and then try to turn on the fan, the A/C comes back on. Got a better idea?

Why adjust temperature to match outside? With AC off, just set it to lower than outside, no heat should ever kick in, and AC if off.

With the AC off and fan off no air comes into car. If you put the fan on the AC automatically comes on. No way to have just fresh air short of opening a window, which is noisy.
