A/C in vehicles is generally an add on option. Americans nd their A/Cs are wimps and wasters. This year they are changing their songs.

i used to drive cross country quite a bit and, on a trip to Oklahoma, they were SHOCKED that my car didn't have ac. But that was 40 or so years ago. I don't remember a car w/o ac lately. Of course I always buy used so whatever is on them is on them.
I think we were just wondering where you lived, Todd, since we have members here from Europe, Canada and Australia (who also report their temps in Celsius), and thought you might also reside out of the states.

What do you mean by "changing their songs?"
I'd venture to say that you'd be hard pressed to find ANY new vehicle sold in the USA that doesn't have air conditioning as standard equipment.
It is a necessity in many parts of the US, but you can certainly do without it if you please. I can't imagine choosing to live in misery.
Lots of the early vehicles I owned did not have a/c. I always drove with my windows down. Even when I got one that did have a/c I rarely turned it on...it seemed to dry out my eyes. At some point all that changed and now I only drive with my windows down on the mildest of spring or autumn days.
