AP1 Battery Preconditioning

I updated to 2020.48.12.1 and prior to this update I do not recall seeing Preconditioning notification when Navigating to a Supercharger. Was this finally implemented in our old cars 2014 P85DL in this update? Or did I miss it a few updates prior? I know for sure it wasn't there Nov 2020 as I traveled form LA - Las Vegas and did not see it on the way out there or back.

This has been happening for about a year now (at least)
 
It only pops up when the battery is cold. like if you park outside overnight in 50f or so and then drive to a SC that's like 10 min away if you put in the SC as a destination it'll pop up saying its preheating.

But if you're out and about driving or even with a cold battery in the cold if the SC is a ways away (45 min+/-) just driving will cause the batt to reach the proper temps and it wont need to preheat or notify you.

Its been out for at least a year, i have a 2014 P85D and i got that one ages ago. i just got 2021.4.6 last night.
