How many miles do you lose when heating the cabin/seats/steering wheel?

It’s not as much as you might expect, as all P4s use heat pumps for cabin heating which are very efficient compared to resistive heaters. However, if there’s only one occupant, heating the air in the cabin is not the best way to operate, instead seat and steering wheel heaters have almost no losses as they’re heating the touchpoints. If you don‘t want to go all extreme and use only heated seats & steering wheeel, then you can turn off all the air vents except for the driver.
