    So I understandably, when you turn off the climate, the calculated EV range goes up since the heat pump isn't being powered, but why doesn't the same thing happen when you turn OFF the A/C itself (but still in Auto)? In the multi-information display, it even shows no power going to the heat pump, so the displayed EV range should go up, right? Nope, stays the same. Any reason, beside another quirk that will never be fixed?
