Default Opposite problem !

2018 Z - A8 started running too cool for no apparent reason. During typical around town driving, I rarely see temps above 104 degrees. Thinking stuck T-stat . . . just wondering before I have the hassle of a dealer visit.
Any thoughts ?

Go into the Performance readouts to left of DIC where it displays Info/Audio/etc) & it will show digital readings of oil/water temps, oil pressure/tire pressures,etc, to verify temp of water reads same as analog temp of normal bar graph gauges. That will tell you if it’s a gauge problem or OPEN thermostat (fail position).
