Car Profiles great start, but need more separation of consumption

It’s a great start that you now allows standard changes to the baseline car profile, by being able to select either roof luggage OR different wheels OR bike rack OR trailer, etc.

However it doesn’t yet cover typical usage scenarios across the year - e.g. going on summer vacation in warm weather with nothing special (standard profile), or then going on winter vacation with winter tires and ski box on the roof, or then going for mountain biking in autumn also with winter tires and a bike rack. Because you can only choose one modification to the standard profile - it’s an OR and not an AND adjustment. It would be if these could at minimum be AND to cover all typical adjustments for specific drivings during the year.

Even better would be to have separate profiles, each with it’s separate consumption learning numbers, this way you can define your most typical scenarios. There’s still a big difference in baseline consumption and driving range between summer and winter, above just changing between summer and winter tyres. But right now, the baseline profile learns consumption as an ongoing average without taking that into account. With a full split per selected profile, each setup could learn it’s own consumption based on actual conditions, and not averages with totally different scenarios.

By the way, it would be nice if each predefined profile stated as information what the + / - to the baseline configuration they make, e.g. +15% for using the roof luggage configuration.
