No cooling in the seat cooling...
You are correct...the cooling device requires electricity to do the cooling...but Ford "forgot" that you can't just dump the hot air into the same seat area as the cooling air. So essentially the cool air and hot air are remixed...but the problem is...the cooling requires electricity which adds even more heat to the system. And if there is no efficient way to blow the hot air away from the seat...the seat overall will be warmer than when it started.
It would have been better and hundreds of dollars cheaper to just put in a good fan into the seats and blow cabin air through the seats.
This is why I say that there should be law that says that engineers have to personally use any device they design to make sure that it works...before foisting it on the public.
