Dropped off the car at dealer. Say they can't reproduce the issue and it's normal that it takes 10-15min to get cold. I drove the car for 10min from the dealer to work after picking it up. Set temp at 65 with both AC and recirc on. It was not very warm but definitely what I expect from 65. Anyone has the same issue?

It appears that the damper between the hot air stream and the cool air stream is stuck and/or is not responding to the thermostat's temperature setting. As to how long it takes to cool down depends on many factors, such as, how hot and sunny it is outside and how cool you like it. Regardless, if you want to cool the cabin fast, you need to set the temperature setting to "Lo", which should completely close the damper to the heater radiator.
As someone else has mentioned, it is also possible that during hard acceleration, the hot air damper opens slightly (defect) and lets unwanted hot air into the cabin.
You should definitely take it to another dealership to have it checked out.
