I had a plastic bag sucked into the air intake in a grocery store parking lot after I returned to the truck, probably sitting in 130F to 140F parking lot heat (asphalt parking lots get a lot hotter than the weather service air temperature). Fortunately, the bag got stuck wrapped around one of the grille crossbars. But the compressors were on, the fans roaring away, and the air intake louvers open. And I wasn't doing any charging in the grocery store parking lot.the shutters are designed to ONLY active(open) when CHARGING, and fans run loud, as the battery is heating up...

I have a '23 Lightning ER with the Max Tow Package, so maybe the dual compressors make a difference in louver behavior?
