Man, I'll never understand this "car is too hot for me to sit in" to be honest. Lmao. Sounds to me like people are too spoiled and this is something kids say. Come one, you really think of this is as an issue? I don't even have an ac in my car. It broke over 4 years ago and I never fixed it. But for each their own I guess.
LOL. I don't live in a hot climate? How about the middle east? Does that sound hot enough? I grew up living in a tent. A literal tent until I was about 20, then my father decided to build a house. Then that house had no power until 2008. And our weather there can get to 130+ easily. So, imagine that heat. Imagine how getting into a car would feel. Here is a photo I took of a thermometer I took in June of 2009. It was around 1 pm. I was on a military base that day. It won't kill you, you will be fine. Open your windows and wait outside a little so you don't melt. lol
doubtful if that thermometer worked well.
40+ °C is dangerous and can be lethal, but of course not immediately, instead as your body heats up

Sure thing. 👌
it was a fucking example, man. but there are places where if you left the car in the direct sun on the summer, a few hours later it will have 40-45 °C or so in there.
