This is so crazy! I have a 2012 which someone ran into so I got a rental car for the time it was in the shop. The “dashboard” vents in the 2021 model of my car were down closer to my knees than to anywhere else!
So I will probably switch to another type of car. I love the feel of my car, stable yet light and brisk, but don’t like the heating system I have now, which at least has the outlets in the right places! (To little heat on feet).
Some you can’t even choose the dash vents as an option when the heater is on, it will only switch to those if you are using A/C. I never figured out why not with either hot or cold if you like.
