    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?

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