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.
