Hello, I'm planning on ordering a RWD Model 3 soon and had some question with regards to scheduled charging.
I believe you can set the hours you want the car to charge at. So in my case, I'd want to only charge between 7 pm to 7 am. If I want the car to be preconditioned by 9 am, how exactly does the charging process go? Will the car charge to 100% within my configured window(7-7), then depending on the temperature, precondition and use the outlet to precondition the car around an hour before my 10am scheduled departure? Or will the car delay charging until a few hours before the scheduled departure?
I want to be able to minimize the amount of time the car is charging outside of off peak hours. I'm not sure if the kWh used to precondition will be significant.
Also, since the mobile charger offers the maximum speed the RWD can charge at, is there any reason for me to get a wall mount instead?
Thank you!
