My car is a Model S P85D that was delivered in January 2005. I have the winter kit of heated steering wheel, back seats and wipers.
I manually pre-heat my car in the mornings and before I drive home after work. Historically pre-heating the car did NOT turn on the heated steering wheel. However, this winter season it seems that my steering wheel is sometimes warm when I get to my car. But not always, only part of the time. Does anyone know if there are certain conditions why the wheel would pre-heat in some conditions, but not in others.
One other issue that I have is that occasionally my steering wheel does not heat up after I start driving (I keep the heat on for the steering wheel permanently from Nov-April). But if I go into the settings and toggle it on and off it will work. I am wondering if this is a bug unique to my car or if others see it as well.
