Remote start heated seats

[xpitxbullx]

Is there a way to activate heated seats without setting it up before I leave the car?

No

Are you guys saying I can't use the app to start heat seaters a few minutes before I get to my car?
That is ridiculous.

Maybe it is ridiculous, but since they warm in seconds, I don't see a huge need, May be on the list to do, but I'd expect a very low priority

They actually automatically turn on the seat heaters if your car is below a certain temp (i think its like 60F) and you turn on climate control from the app before getting in. Same thing for defrost.

Try it when your car is cold and a few seconds after hitting the climate button (maybe switch screens once or twice) you should see a seat warmer and defrost symbol on the app in the climate page.

Agreed. Also, since it's getting cold in CO, I have mine on all the time. So it's really not a problem to tune everything on from the app.

I would settle for being able to consistently wake the car up from the app in the morning just to increase the charge limit (to warm the battery) and turn the climate on. When the car is sleeping, even if it DOES wake, it takes several minutes to wake up and more often than not it won't wake at all until I open the door.

+1 definitely agree.

Do seat heaters activate if there is nobody in the seat and you turn the seat heater on?

The other night it was ~28degrees and while driving I turned the passenger seat to high (no one in the seat) and after 1/2hr, it was definitely warmer than ambient temp.

ITs perfectly fine. The heated seats only take 20 seconds before you start feeling the heat. It makes no sense to pre-heat those seat ovens.

I thought the battery preconditioning feature was only for model S and model X?

Yea they do. I put passenger heated seats on when I go pick up food like pizza and put it on the seat to keep it warm

I put my pizza in the frunk to keep the smell out of my car.

Cooking pizza on the seats is not my thing.....LOL.
