RZ Range Mode Not Working as Expected?

[fuwllxusmte]

I’m hitting a bit of a snag with the range mode on my RZ. The salesman said it’d boost my range by 20+ miles, but I’m not really seeing much of a difference. Plus, turning on the AC and fan seems to be munching through the battery way faster than I thought it would. Anyone else dealing with this? Is my car just being quirky, or is this the norm?

Try restarting your car first. It might just need a reset. If it still doesn't work. A trip to the dealer might be all you need.

What exactly would boost your range? Range mode? Nah, doesn;t really make much of a difference.

Yeah, range modes can help, but honestly, the difference isn’t always as huge as you might expect. AC and the fan? They can really eat through the battery, especially when it’s hot out. Totally normal, though. If you're not seeing the range boost you were hoping for, might be worth hitting up the dealer to make sure everything’s running smoothly.

You could try taking it a bit easier on the gas and brakes—smooth driving can help stretch that battery a bit longer!

It adds only 5-7 miles in real world testing. You can get a few miles if use the eco climate instead of full ACC.
