Yes, I know. What I mean is in cold temps, heating your cabin and maintaining that temperature of 70F or whatever will burn more power than most L2s provide. So it's counterproductive.Think they were referring to cabin temp preheating.

I mean, you only need to preheat the cabin for like 2 minutesYes, I know. What I mean is in cold temps, heating your cabin and maintaining that temperature of 70F or whatever will burn more power than most L2s provide. So it's counterproductive.
But what's the point if it burns through more power than you are gaining by staying plugged in? Just hit the road and heat it up as you go.I mean, you only need to preheat the cabin for like 2 minutes
I can't tell if you're being serious, or you just like to argue lol.But what's the point if it burns through more power than you are gaining by staying plugged in? Just hit the road and heat it up as you go.
I tend to do as you do. Preheat and only use the seat warmers. I have a LR AWD w/HW3 FSD, so perhaps that's the difference.
Think they were referring to cabin temp preheating. I'm also trying to figure the best way to manage power with regards to cabin heating. Turing off AC is usually a good thing in cars, but then you get foggy windows because the dryer isn't running. Same kind of happens when I use no air con and just seat heater, starts to fog up.
Thanks for sharing!Hey All, I just went on line to book service and got scheduled for Jan 7th 2020 at the NEW Renton service center, south of Seattle. I know folks have been waiting for this location, so Im hoping they are up and running as scheduled!
Because most people like to get into a nice warm vehicle. That’s the beauty of remote climate control.But what's the point if it burns through more power than you are gaining by staying plugged in? Just hit the road and heat it up as you go.

This will cause faster battery degradation if done often. It’s better to use shore power to heat the car than battery power. Your full-charge range will decrease in proportion to the number of charge cycles used.
my experience with preheating on a 120 v 15 amp circuit is that the power comes off the battery, What’s your experience?
Have you tried it in sub-freezing temps and/or with lower amperage? I was getting a lot of blowback for my earlier post but I have definitely seen the battery get depleted during cabin pre-heating while plugged into an L2 charger.Yes, you need a 240V power source to preheat using shore power. A 120V outlet won’t work.
My Tesla wall connector starts strobing when preheating the connected car. It shows 2/48A draw on the screen, and my home power consumption monitor also shows this. After preheating for 30 minutes, the battery state of charge remains the same.
my experience with preheating on a 120 v 15 amp circuit is that the power comes off the battery, and when the cabin is heated the shore power recharges the battery, it’s clear that the battery % declines, then is recharged. It may be different with higher power charging circuits, idk, but I guess I’d be surprised if the car was actually heating directly from shore power. What’s your experience?
