I was running really low on juice yesterday and switched to RANGE MODE. Noticed a subtle difference in AC operation but, little change (if any) in driving dynamics/performance.
After I topped up, decided to continue to drive in Range Mode full time. The AC (which now displays ECO ON instead of AUTO or CUSTOM) has been just fine even when it's been hot out here; in fact, the fan speed and temperature (set to 70 degrees when it's 85-ish outside) seem to be just right whereas the climate control goes bonkers at fan speed 10 if I were to turn off Range Mode.
So, what gives?! Subjectively speaking, I'm seeing slightly better Wh/mile numbers (difference of 10-20 Wh/mile) when driving in Range Mode full-time.
Anyone else tried doing this?
