Just got mine back from the latest WMA5/6 update - now SW 3397.
Observed a change in behaviour on range mode on the way back.
On Car/Trip in the menu - you can see energy flows. (blue = usage, green regen, 2WD/4WD).
Before in range mode I clearly saw the rear wheels disengage when gently cruising on the highway (130km/h).
Today... it is 99% in 4WD, meaning no real benefit of range mode. (and shows in estimated range as well... <5% difference from normal driving modes)
I tried stressing the function back and forth and at different speeds.
It seems like the threshold between 2WD and 4WD is minimal.
Using load as an example, and with imagined figures, driving on the highway:
< load = Car regens. As normal.
0-10kW load = 2WD (This is the important part here... the very narrow threshold between using kicking in the 2WD and 4WD)
10-500kW load = 4WD.
Don't know if that made sense to anyone.
But the question then:
Has anyone else noticed this?
