A/C Performance on F57 Convertible

I'm thinking of ordering a 2023 F57 JWC Convertible and was wondering what the air-conditioning performance is like on the convertible? My wife had the discontinued Roadster Convertible and we would roast in stop and go traffic with the top up and the AC set to max.. The AC would actually cut off in traffic, I'm assuming because the engine started to get hot. Needless to say the cooling system was insufficient. I'm concerned about the JWC F57 convertible having the same problem. Anyone have any thoughts or experiences on this. Hopefully the condenser is large enough to keep the interior cool in traffic..

I'm in south Florida so a good working AC is important.

Please disregard the R57 in the title. I mistakenly selected the wrong one from the drop-down.

My 2019 convertible AC is fine. Sometimes need to turn off auto start/stop to keep the engine running when stopped

Thanks for your reply. Turning off the start/stop feature isn't a surprise. The only time I would use that in Florida would be in the winter when the outside temperature is a little cooler.
