What are the warranty concerns with doing something like that?

The SR Mach-E is around 220 miles normally? That's quite a range hit compared to what I was expecting.

No.

211

117/.9 = 130.

130/211 = 38% drop. As expected.

Whatever system I tap into or remove could be in question. I haven’t looked to see where power will come from, maybe a 12v outlet since the seat heaters only draw ~5 amps each. Obviously the seat cover warranty will be gone after I remove the seat covers, not sure about the seat airbags. Option B is to find a set of power seats I can install. Either way, I’m not worried about warranty on the effected parts. As for the kit, I’m looking at something like this.

Math errors happen to the best of us, thanks.

You guys seem to have some pretty big range drops in winter. I'm in NJ which does see some pretty cold days. I have a Mach E and see about 19% loss.

I’m disappointed that the departure settings don’t offer more customization, unless I’m missing something here.

All departure times can only be toggled on/off as a group, even though you may have many different times/days setup.

I don’t see a way to do a one-time departure that can be used for any random time of the day similar to remote starting?

Agree, I am retired and have no set schedule, so I would think it would be possible to just hit start 15 (60?) minutes before leaving the house and that would be enough for preconditioning.
