So the past couple days have been pretty warm here in SoCal and my Model S has been conditioning the battery. I hear the fans spin up and this is further confirmed by my diagnostic logs. The DC/DC converter outputs anywhere between 300-600 watts compared to the usual 50 watts while the car is in the wake cycle.
However, what does not make sense is that the battery temperature actually INCREASES during thermal management. It went up from 35.7 to 38.5 C in just over two hours. What's going on?
