I would not want to be driving a $60k toaster over here in AZ if it were to behave badly on my way back from work  .
Still waiting for that right opportunity to take it to the dealer or create a video of it when it happens.

I'm taking redelivery of the car tomorrow and will definitely be keeping an eye on this. I've seen this problem reported in quite a few posts so I'd say this is certainly some sort of design flaw.

LOL. A video, exactly what the service manager asked me to do the next time my AC was dead. I patiently tried to explain the only damn thing the video would show would be the AC lights off/out. It's not that difficult to explain, or understand, the AC is DEAD!!! No lights, no fan, no nothing. Yet, on these three occasions, if allowed to sit "off" anywhere from an hour to overnight, the AC works as designed next time the car is started. Note, when this malfunction occurred to me, simply waiting 5-10 minutes didn't help. It had to sit for a while.
