So, one of the other interesting things about my road trip was how inaccurate the range estimate became once I input a destination into the Nav. Every time I put in a destination and started route guidance, it shaved 15-20% off the range estimate, which I assumed was due to things like elevation change along the route and/or type of road. But it was wrong every time.
In all but one segment, there was zero actual reduction in range, while in one it was a very small actual reduction. I don’t understand why it underestimates so significantly when you input a route. Note, my estimator is very accurate otherwise, as proved by tracking mileages.
The other eye opener was how the fan/AC hammers the range estimate, while range mode has only a very small positive impact.
