For how long did you pre-heat?I tried preheating the car yesterday.
As I don't know how to heat the battery by itself, I tried preheating the car yesterday. Drove away warm with no yellow dashes and regen felt perfect! It's about 5 C here so not warm. 12/2015 P85D. Hope this is the fix.
Argh! Preheated again yesterday 10/15 minutes while plugged in...but had NO regen! 5 full yellow dashes and no braking.Good test. So... are we going to need one of those remote starters from ICE cars?![]()
Preheat will do next to nothing in 10-15 minutes. You might see a little increase in regen after about a half hour or so, but even then, it won't be much.Argh! Preheated again yesterday 10/15 minutes while plugged in...but had NO regen! 5 full yellow dashes and no braking.It was 1 degree colder 4C, than the previous day. Regen returned after being on the highway for a few (7)? Minutes. About 80% SOC when I started. Car was toasty. Had the fire going in the ferry parking lot!

I actually just used this feature for the first time last night. My departure time was set for 5:15AM. It was done charging (85%) about 45 min early. Software 2019.40.2.3.I'm on 2019.40.2 and stopped using the scheduled departure as it was too random at meeting the departure time readiness.
I.e. departure time = 7AM, with 90% -> at 7AM barely 80%. Some time more, some time less. (and yes, plenty of time and kw available to hit the target).
Is this something that was solved in the more recent 40.2.1/40.2.2/40.2.3 releases ?

Since it got done so early I'm going to move it ahead 15 min to my real departure time of 5:30.
It would be like a sauna in there if I let it preheat longer! Cabin heat works great! (Didn't think of fart mode)^^ yeah, 10 minutes will probably make as much difference to warm the battery as using fart mode to warm the cabin air.
Answering my own question: I asked and received 40.2.3 last night.I'm on 2019.40.2 and stopped using the scheduled departure as it was too random at meeting the departure time readiness.

Does it have to be on wifi to get software update notifications? I don't have it connected all the time and it's still on 40.2.1
Ugh.. you guys are upgrading eh.. I do like new features and all, but I'm really worried they still think we're all just swell on our every-destination-erased, all-the-Trip-computers-reset, and rebooting-every-few-hours-to-get-browser-back (hopefully) MCU1, and adding new features could only make things worse not better, right ? Here's the general thread: 2020.4
There is a suggestion by an MCU1 owner in there that the voice controls are even more wonky now, not better...
I'm not quite as doom-and-gloom as that. I've been pretty happy with the way the software works for me, for the most part. (cough fix USB media cough) Admittedly I don't use the browser or voice commands.
So ... you simply don't use the two most damaged features ... I've gotta wonder, was it by choice ? I barely use voice too because it triggers unreliably with my MCU1 and OG 3G and I can't rely on the browser anymore because it is so unreliable and is guaranteed to crash eventually. When I had voice in my 2006 Dodge (with 2007 MyGig) I used voice all the time. Worked great. Miss that.
