Preconditioning schedule

[tmorgenthaler]

Forgive me if this is in the incorrect group, but I have some confusion in regards to pre-conditioning my battery for the winter months. I've had my Model Y for about 6 weeks now, and I'm trying to set up a schedule so the car only preconditions itself on days I go into the office. I go into the office Sundays, Mondays, and Wednesdays. I don't want the car to precondition every day, because that means it's using 5-10% (from my observations) of it's charge every day in the winter to warm up the battery. Even being plugged in at home, that's 5-10% I have to recharge for no real purpose.

I've tried setting up automations in both Teslafi and now Tessie apps, so it starts the climate / pre-conditions on my work days, starting at 5 am. I leave for work around 5:45. When I use the automations, it doesn't seem to get my battery precondtioned, only warms the cabin. I have about a 50 minute commute, and for instance this morning it was 31° F outside, and my vehicle was in the garage all night, plugged in, and I had the regen braking warning on my display my whole commute. If I just enable preconditioning through the standard controls for 5:45 departure, I don't have the regen warning on my display.

Is there another way to do this through the apps and automation, so I'm not wasting energy 4 days a week that I'm not commuting to work?

If someone has done it, I’d like to know as well. Currently the app only allows all days and weekdays, not a hybrid work schedule.

Elon musk does not believe in hybrid work schedules. He assumes everyone will go in 5 days a week. Sorry.

If you have an iPhone (can probably do it with Android too) you can use the Shortcuts app to create an automation. I've got mine set to the following:
