Yes! That matters. Solar heat did damage to a wifi hotspot I stupidly left on the dashboard driving around one day. And it reminds me of this question too...

I don't calculate all ecomodding benefits through the narrowest direct cost/benefit assessment. Some of my modding is to make the ecomods more acceptable over the long-term. I took out the AC to lose weight and a parasitic draw on the engine and it has had some benefits for FE. But I like mitigation strategies because keeping the car over the extreme longterm is the best financial strategy the car represents (cheaper insurance, no car loans, no value depreciation). My daughter balks at the heat in my car on some days. I'd like to reduce the frequency of those complaints a little this summer.
