I tried out range mode for AC yesterday and found I didn't like the slow fan speeds. In normal southern ontario weather it'd be fine but it was full sun and ~30C yesterday. I even had the car precooling for ~5 minutes (it was the hottest I had seen the interior before, mobile app said 49C).
That's my biggest beef. The fan hardly draws any power at all compared to the compressor anyway.
I used to live in Florida (was born in Ft. Lauderdale) and can say Southern Ontario summers are nothing to sneeze at. We get fairly high temps, but the killer is the humidity we can get here. I have found Range Mode is okay when it's just me in the car, but my wife will complain and I'll typically switch to Normal when she's in the car.
