Default AC condensation Drain Plugged?

The AC smell when turned on, I have chaged the filter but I have noticed I'm not getting any condensation draining out from under the car after running the AC. How do you unplug the condensation drain tube? Thanks!

I deodorized the AC system when I changed the filter. It didn't help!

A bit uncommon for such a new car but it could be the evaporator drain tube is plugged. Though when this happens the carpet next to the center console will get wet from the water sitting along with any associated odor.

You will not always have moisture present after the a/c is run, depends on the humidity, etc..

If you want to check, just trace the hose from the bottom to the firewall and pull it out to clean it up.
