I don't use range mode because when my car is cold I want the cabin heat and the battery preheat to function at its maximum. I preheat my cabin before driving home after the car has sat out all day. My heat is set at 66 degrees and I use Visible Tesla to schedule an automatic hvac on at 4 PM. I leave about 4:30 PM so by then the cabin is warm, the windows are defrosted/snow melted and the battery regen will be around 30-40 instead of near zero. I do the same thing in the morning but that all happens on shore power so it doesn't hurt my range.
