Tesla Model 3 LR AWD -- 200 miles range vs 320 claimed? [NJ]

My 2019 model 3 does not do this. It goes to the previous settings as soon as I press the brake

Perhaps this is a difference between the code in the Model S and the Model 3. I try to keep them separate of what applies and what doesn't, but I thought the heating logic would be similar between them.

Well, you know what also can dehumidify the cabin? Using outside air instead of having this ongoing civil war with the air conditioner and heater fighting each other on the same air, which drives the energy usage up!!

This brings up an interesting question (hopefully someone has scientifically tested it already). What is more efficient on a cold day? Running your heat + A/C (auto setting) to keep things dehumidified, or Running heat only + outside air? One has the A/C and heat "fighting" with each other, the other continually introduces fresh, but cold, air into your car requiring more heat be used.
