The user manual is not exactly detailed about this. I'm trying to figure out the Energy Usage panel in the car. On page 109: "Displays energy usage of the Driving, Remote Climate, and Climate and Prep vehicle systems as percentages of overall vehicle energy use."
See attached picture of a recent (and quite short) trip. What does "remote climate" even mean? And does this mean I spent more energy on climate control than I did on actual driving?
That supposedly means what it says, the amount of energy the car uses after remote start. Don't know why someone would care about this metric. Maybe the purpose is to scare owners living in hotter or colder places, so they remember to plug-in the car while pre-heating/pre-cooling and thus improve efficiency.
