Mt Buller from Melbourne

In the aviation world this used to be known as a “sixpence-halfcrown” event. Post decimal, I don’t know <g>.

Tis my industry also, just of the Airbus variety! Post decimal…. ‘Career enhancing moment’

There you go. I did not know the 3 gave an indication when heating the battery. As you say it uses the motors in waste heat mode. That aside I doubt Leeroy's car was cold soaked and in need of battery heat when he was at Buller.

Sorry, am not getting alerts anymore to this thread….. I only bought up the battery heating as I got the regen alert but the battery heater didn’t turn on prior. Could have been on the cusp I guess. That said, I do tend to agree with you, not enough cold soak for the mass, plus probably plenty of heat from the hill climb.

For what it’s worth, I didn’t think the battery heater worked unplugged either but I turn on the climate prior to getting to the car at work where it is unplugged and it has occasionally come on.
