Hey TMC,
I'm in the process of transferring ownership of my "new" used Model S to me and unfortunately don't have access to the mobile app for my phone (10 days into the transfer process with no update from them ). Living in a cold climate, is there anyway to precondition the battery without the phone/app? Luckily, I do have a heated garage, but I'm concerned leaving it outside for a few hours when traveling.
Similarly, is there a specific temp at which you should heat/precondition the vehicle up?
Last, I've seen many individuals recommend charging their vehicle every night. For winter, is it recommended to always stay near the 80% charge or can I drive a few days until it gets near the 20-30% charge mark and then begin charging again?
Thanks in advance for any tips or tricks!
