I have seen mixed info on this online, but does preconditioning before fast charging help maintain battery life or is it purely for helping it charge fast ASAP? I see some pages say preconditioning "extends battery life" but offer zero citations on that.
I have the CCS adapter, and on some roadtrips sometimes CCS fast charging is more convenient than Superchargers, either by charge timing or location or even being cheaper (long road trips with a 1 month Electrify America pass can be cheaper than Supercharging by a decent margin if you're in an expensive area, especially at daytime rates), but the Tesla doesn't start preconditioning when navigating to CCS chargers and I want to make sure I'm not negatively impacting my battery.
