Am I better off just ignoring range completely or is it a g)itch in the app
The value you are seeing relates to a known issue with the app, where kilometres are converted into miles in error.
140 miles indicated by the car is low (assuming you have a 58kwh battery). I would interested to know what happens if it set the heating to a lower value, say 18 degrees. Does this improve the indicated range.

86 is a glitch, 140 is a real prediction, but presumably based on lots of short journeys with the heating on, making it pessimistic for a long journey where heating becomes much less significant.

Its a well known glitch.
The simplest and easiest way to "fix" it for good is simply to change the app to km.

I haven't had a problem with the app regarding reporting of range / state of charge. But the last time I charged to 80%, a day later with no use in between, car and app reported charge as 81%, before dropping back to 80% later in the day. The outdoor temperature had dropped a bit since charging, so if anything I'd have expected a mild decrease.
Since the change to 3.2, I've found the predicted range to change much more consistently during a run - range on arrival at destination has been pretty much what it was on departure less distance travelled.
