Sorry to be off topic but it seems everyone uses pre conditioning. I have it on my i3 but rarely use it. Can that be set automatically. My MS is suppose to be built on Monday according to my DS. I was having 2nd thoughts last week about the purchase but getting a bit excited now
Yes, smart preconditioning learns your schedule and preheats accordingly. I do usually go by a regular schedule but I have found it is not really a big deal to me to smart precondition since my schedule can vary by up to 30 minutes.
You should know, @Lee_B, that the majority of users here seem to think Tesla's "Smart Preconditioning" is a huge fail. Even people who keep very regular schedules have posted that Smart Preconditioning does not work well for them. The issues include not preconditioning the car when it should be preconditioned, and also heating or cooling the car seemingly at random.
It is a lot simpler to just use the app, or a third-party app, to turn on heating and cooling when you want it on. If you ask the car to "guess" it is going to guess wrong a lot of the time.
