2024 Audi Q5 Premium Plus — a/C is cold while driving, warm at stoplights

2024 Audi Q5 Premium Plus, about 37,000 miles. A/C gets properly cold on the highway but becomes noticeably warmer at long lights. It cools down again almost immediately once the car is moving. Could this still be a refrigerant issue or does that point more toward airflow/fans? Any data points from owners would help.

Walk if they won't put it on a buyer’s order. If they're pushing term length to shrink the payment, the 2024 Audi Q5 price probably got worse. Screenshot the worksheet if you can. Verbal 'we'll take care of it' is not a plan. Going to compare one more dealer before I decide.

Yes, with one caveat: GAP, paint, and nitrogen are optional until you run the 2024 Audi Q5 numbers without them. If they balk, that's your answer. On “a/c is cold while driving, warm at,” that was the fork that mattered for me. Not gospel, but it saved me a headache. I'd rather look cautious in this thread than stuck later.
