Hot Windshield & Dash

I have a 2021 XC60 Recharge with a black dashboard. I live in Floria where daily summer temps hover around 91 degrees.

When driving I can feel intense heat radiating from the windshield or dash onto my face. I have to keep in A/C fan on the medium setting. The black area above the steering wheel is extremely hot to the touch.

When the car is parked in the garage and turned off it feels like heat is still coming from the dash or windshield.

Could the heat be coming from the motor? It takes several hours for the car to cool down.

I have an S60 with a black dashboard and I've not noticed the dash being extremely hot to the touch. I like in GA which, while not quite as hot as Florida, does get pretty warm. You may want to have that looked at.
