    Scheduled battery preheating vs. battery degradation

    As a new Tesla owner I am wondering about scheduled pre-heating of the battery. I understand that with a cold battery, regenerative breaking and probably acceleration is limited. What I don't know is how driving with cold battery influences the long term battery degradation? (in my daily 40km...

    Scheduled precondition and battery drain in cold weather

    Two questions. In the Tesla app I have my model Y set to precondition at a certain time, 545 AM in my garage. The car is not preheating the battery or the cabin like it typically does. It makes no sounds. I’ve made no other changes in the app or car. The car is plugged in. Haven’t had an issue...

    How to prevent battery preconditioning for supercharger

    Hello, Tesla installed a supercharger just beside my apartment complex recently. It went online last week and I was very excited about this. But, now it became a bittersweet problem. Every time I start navigating to my home, my Tesla thinks that I'm going to a supercharger and starts...

    On-Route Preconditioning when battery is already hot, Battery Warming @ 254kW?

    On my trip this weekend, my car wanted to precondition and continue battery heating even during a charging session, despite extremely hot temps. I was driving (quickly) for about three hours straight and pulled into a Supercharger. Ambient temp was 85F. The last 5 minutes it was preconditioning...

    Model Y preconditioning for supercharger behavior different than Model 3

    Since I've been driving my Model Y, I've noticed it's preconditioning for supercharger behavior is much different than my experience in my previous model 3. I couldn't find any similar threads on this here or or google so I wanted to see if other people have the same experience with their Model...

    Baffled by preconditioning

    Looking for some advice from more experienced owners about 'preconditioning'. Apologies in advance if this comes across as incoherent ramblings! 😵‍💫 As I understand it, preconditioning warms the inside of the car and preheats the battery, meaning the car is already primed before you drive off...

    Supercharger preconditioning

    On my drive from Manchester to Stansted today via Rugby Supercharger, the car pre-conditioned the battery for most of the journey to Rugby. Am I reading this correctly… Is this saying it’s used over 31 miles or range to precondition my car in order to save 4 minutes charging time? If so...

    Battery always preconditioning in cold

    Hi guys, just curious about the behavior of preconditioning (heating) of the battery on my MS 100D (was 85D), SW 2022.8.10.8. The "problem" I'm experiencing is the preconditioning to be working every time I sit in the car and turn the clima on while cold in outside. On long trips this might be...

    What's going on (or not going on) with battery conditioning?

    Last week I needed to run a few errands. The car was not plugged in / didn’t need charging-was probably around 35%) and since I didn’t know until the last minute, there was no time for scheduled preconditioning. Ambient was around 50 degrees. I got the limited regen dots due to cold batteries...

    Premature 'preconditioning battery for fast supercharging...?'

    Anybody seeing super premature preconditioning? Typically precondition happens before 10/5 minutes of arrival of Supercharger. Recently I've seen it start to precondition -- on and off! -- at around 60 minutes / 60km away from Superchargers. All occurences were with battery already warmed...
