Yes, my statement was based upon repeated observations of pack temps (albeit, during warmer weather). Frankly, I was quite surprised the first time I observed that behavior. Like most people, I assumed that if the car said it was pre-heating the battery while navigating towards a SuperCharger... the car was doing just that. However, sensor data showed that's not always the case. I've observed heat being sent to the pack (while navigating to a SC) well before the preheating battery alert displays on the screen; and I've observed no heat being sent to the pack even when the the screen has displayed the preheating message.
Of note, my readings are based upon actual real-time pack temps, and whether they change. Not stator temps.
I'll take a look at your other thread.
Yeah, the no heat while the preheating message is on is more of what I am looking at at least in the past. In the past that could be explained by the car not being able to add heat via the rear stator while at speed. Now that seems to have changed somehow which is what I am investigating in the other thread.
