My husband and I are new to ev’s. We’ve owned the model y for about six months. We live in northeast Ohio and of course cold temperatures are coming. I’ve read the owners manual and some of your posts about recommendations for cold weather charging, but I’m still a bit confused! We don’t drive the car every day or not very far on an average day so we haven’t been plugging it in daily.
Finally my questions:
If you plug it in daily and don’t drive it daily (especially when it’s cold), do you drop the charge limit? To what? We currently charge to 80%.
Is preconditioning for charging purposes or driving? I don’t see this option in the Tesla phone app.
Is turning on the Climate and Defrost the same as Preconditioning?
If I haven’t asked the right questions, I welcome those who have cold weather experience to respond!
Fretting in Northeast Ohio!!!
