Cabin overheat protection in hot climates (110 F+)?

[shred86]

Is anyone running cabin overheat protection in a place where the outside temperatures reach 110-115 F? If so, what has your experience been with battery usage per hour? And do you run it with or without AC?

...battery usage per hour...

I implemented it with A/C as soon as Tesla released the feature. I didn't care about the battery loss because I charge every night.

I used to test A/C running blasted high with "LO" setting with all windows down on a 93F weather for 1 hour in a Model S and it lost 15 rated miles.

When I close all windows up and set A/C at 72F, it lost 5 rated miles per hour.
