    My 2019 Portofino driver’s side AC vent doesn’t blow air. Rest of AC works fine.

    I'm not familiar with the Portofino, but for the last 25 years or so, Ferrari aircon airflow has been controlled by computer-controlled motorised vent actuators.
    You either have control issue or an actuator problem. Since the car is not old, I'd say the former. Probably just a computer glitch.

    The parts manual lists the actuators

    Perhaps a left hand lateral (?) vent actuator not working? Part number 819839

    If it's an electric actuator. As with most problems with these actuators, you have to be lucky to find good access to them. Considerable time/effort may need to be expended.

    Anyway, that's what warranties are for. Get your tech to run some diagnostics. Please let us know how you go.

    Then there was the story on the forum of someone who found a sock in his demister vent....
