AC

[Manifesta]

The AC is killing the mileage on my 2017 S 75D. I set it at 77 and use the cooled seat function so I don't have to turn up the fan as much, but it's still eating battery power. Any suggestions?

Don’t use it. That’s your only option.

Opening windows up is probably worse, so no, you don’t have an option.

Define “killing the mileage”. My Dec 2016 S75 has averaged 315wh/mi in interior California over 175,000 miles. It’s regularly north of 100 degrees here all summer long.

Update: I'm trying to use the AC as little as possible, but I guess I'll just have to live with the mileage-killing, because it's hot and it's only going to get hotter.

Have you run a vehicle range analysis from the app yet? That will show where the power is going. (service > vehicle range)

When it's 100f outside I have the AC set to 69f and I'm still rolling at around 300 wh/mi. Perhaps it's just another example of the new cars sucking ass compared to the older models
