Let's hope it can be fixed via software update.

Came in here to ask about this exact issue. Is anyone else having this problem?

Any thoughts on intermittently or periodically turning on the heat so as to turn on the battery heater to prevent cold soak?
I was wondering about using Stats app and scheduling to run the heater every few hours to keep the battery warm when it gets below 0°
Anyone do something like this?

Last Thursday we drove about 100 miles in 18F temperature in our 2021 SR+ with winter tires. 80% highway and interstate. I will be happy if my consumption is 231 Wh/Mile in the summer.

Seems like that would be an incredible waste of energy with no benefit.
