So reading through information about climate control I came across a group of people who seemed to insinuate that using remote climate control to cool the car down, say while shopping and a few minutes before leaving the store, was extremely bad for battery longevity. But of course now I cannot find this thread anymore. I cannot think of any reason why this sort of situation would be bad for battery longevity but I thought I'd get the opinion of others.
Related to this, as I know that cabin overheat protection is a safety measure for people, and not to protect the electronics, do you turn off cabin overheat protection off or keep it on and why. Do you use any sort of front window shade? I've also never used a front window sun shade in a car, but I am considering it now when I am out and about, just to help increase range by not having to cool the cabin down as much. But I have no idea if it helps enough to be worth the hassle.
