Of the things you could complain about in modern cars as being too complicated, you chose turning on seat heating???
Like you push the seat heating button if your seat feels cold. What is there to think about?
- fragmede 6mo agoOn an electric car that yells at you your range left and that you won't make it to your destination unless you charge, if you turn on the seat warmers, that range goes down so you have to think about if you'd rather have a toasty butt and have to stop and charge, or just be colder and get there sooner. But you have to charge anyway.
- antonvs 6mo agoThat sounds like a problem with whatever brand of car that is. Is it one made by a certain white supremacist perhaps? That could be the problem.
- superb_dev 6mo agoUsing the heated seats will cause you to loose range on every car, not just electric
- lofaszvanitt 6mo agoOhrly? Are you reading HN or pretending to be stupid?
- superb_dev 6mo agoI’m often stupid, but usually not on purpose. What’s your point?
- fragmede 6mo agoIn an ICE powered car, running the heater doesn't have the same effect on range. Because an ICE is hot due to how it works, sending hot air to the car's interior is basically free because the heater uses waste heat from the engine.
- superb_dev 6mo agoWe're talking about the seat heaters though. I'm pretty sure heated seats use resistive heaters and not waste heat from the engine
