Is your AC cold or just cool?

I have a 2021 Rubicon Unlimited and now that it's starting to warm up for summer (my first summer with the car) I'm noticing that my AC is just blowing semi cool air on LO . I feel like once it gets in the 90s it's gonna struggle. Would you consider the AC air coming from the vents to only be cool or is it supposed to feel cold? My last car was an Infiniti G37 and I'd about freeze my knuckles on the lowest setting. Planning on bringing it into the dealer next week but just want some opinions.

its blowing cool because you called it a "car".

Lol I called the Infiniti a car not the Jeep! Thanks for the input. My heat is like that but definitely not the AC.

Same. My AC seems to only have 2 settings: off or “meat locker”

Could possibly be a refrigerant leak in the system? If it gets worse, probably time for a service appointment.

Mine gets ice cold pretty quickly once it decides to start working, but I noticed yesterday that on 'auto' and 'lo' temp it really didn't start blowing any cold air for several minutes after I started my drive (switching to manual w/AC fixes that sooner).

Not sure why the long delay, but it does the exact same thing with heat during the winter. Maybe it's a way of gradually easing between extreme temperatures? Because of this, using remote start to heat or cool the cabin is essentially pointless and makes little to no difference. If I had a short commute, I'd probably think my HVAC was broken, but otherwise it works perfectly fine.

Colder than a Well DIggers azz in Montana in the winter time, colder than a witches tit in an iron bra on the North Pole. Serious I live in South FL and my AC will freeze me out.

Since the 60s a strong point of domestic vehicles was their A/C. Jeep is no exception.

How about we get some actual numbers, put a instant read kitchen thermometer in the vents and let's all compare numbers?

I do agree that my AC in the Jeep sucks compared to other cars/suvs.
