AC blowing warm?
So I had my temps set to low on both sides and had the AC in and max fan speed and all the could would do is blow warm air.. any ideas or possibly known issues with these things and their AC?

no refrigerant in system, fan not operating, ac compressor has no belt or malfunctioning, etc etc. Does it change if you drive at highway speed?

I just had mine at the dealership yesterday. They said I had a leak on the seals around the compressor. They fixed that and reloaded it with Freon and it blows cold now.

Nope doesn’t change when driving, when I press the AC button I can hear the click come from the front but air doesn’t go cold.

OP, last summer I got in my ZL1 to drive home from work one day and found that the AC wasn't blowing cold either. In my case, a dealer visit was unnecessary as my AC compressor fuse had popped. I replaced it with one of the spares in the car and it is still working fine a year later.
So, go check your fuse first. Might save you a trip.

My F52 is empty and the fuse lid says “not used”

So, looks like F48 for your 2019. Wonder why they changed the fuses between 2018 and 2019...

No clue... I checked all fuses that had anything related to AC on them and they all are fine. Wonder if maybe it needs a recharge? Can’t recall using the AC last year when I got it

So I discovered that if my wife closes both of her vents on her side the AC will not blow very cold. I thought i had an issue I opened them up and AC is ice cold. Temp was set to the same temp on both sides.

So a more mechanically inclined friend just looked and said the belt is spinning but the clutch should be engaging and making the pulley spin and it isn’t. So I guess my clutch isn’t engaging and that’s why the AC isn’t working. Maybe low on Freon and it’s a safety measure to not burn out the compressor? But weird because the car is only a year old and haven’t used the AC much
