Mini Cooper SE - In Focus: Range Calculator: Important Updates!

I can't believe I just noticed this issue! It seems the humidity is printed wrong, it's expressed as a decimal and a percentage. So in my capture from this morning it logged a humidity of 0.83% when it was actually 83% humidity (yes, really). Also if this ever gets tweaked, dew point would be a nicer value to have, or maybe in addition to humidity. Dew point is the true measure of "stickiness", and gives a real good sense of how much moisture is in the air, thus affecting range.

Although humid air is slightly less dense than dry air, the effect isn't nearly as great as variations in pressure and temperature.

You could of course just calculate the actual density and present it, thus summing up the effect of all three factors on aerodynamic drag.

 

NB: Shortcuts that use Notes actions are borked in iOS 17.4 beta 1, even the rereleased beta 1. Ugh. I didn't notice until I tried this shortcut after a pleasant 171 km (106 mile) drive that used just 89% – despite starting out at -6°C (21°F) and running on meaty Nokian winter tires.
