A/C insufficient
ID.3 2020 with Heat Pump, 40.000km

Update: thanks everyone for your input! I Went to the VW workshop today and they found the refrigerant (CO2 gas) pressure was too low, causing the issue. I paid 300 EUR for the check and refill. (Germany).
The Service Advisor cautioned me to regularly use the A/C even in Winter, to prevent seals from drying up.
(My car has low mileage for its age, and too infrequent a/c operation might have caused the premature loss of gas )

In today’s summer heat (34-38C, 93-100F, overcast) the A/C cooling performance seemed utterly inadequate. Like, the air from the blowers wasn’t even really cold.
Parked with ignition on and A/C on „LO“, cabin temperature would stay around 31C (88F) during 10 ish minutes of continuous operation.
I had just finished a highway trip and the HV battery was at about 40 C (104F) and I wasn’t connected to a charger , so battery coolant pump showed 0 RPM in the scantool.
Does this seem normal to you?!?
Thanks
