Today I received the cables and OBD-ii adapter necessary to get the ScanMyTesla app up and running

Things I learned so far:- (for context, these are for a Sept 2019, UK spec, M3P. so right-hand-side = driver's side )

- When activating the climate at 10am this morning (cold-soaked 7ºC overnight, AC charging @ 2kW midnight -> 7am) the car was warming the battery by using the front and rear motors (stators) to warm the coolant fluid going through them and the battery. Rear Stator temp was quickly up at 60ºC and battery coolant inlet temperature was higher than the battery cell temperature by a couple of degrees (- i.e. it could have warmed it quicker by dumping hotter coolant into the batteries but it seems Tesla want to warm the cells gradually.
- The car seems to have two cabin heaters - one each side - and, even though I have it set to sync, it preferentially heats the driver's side by a big margin. At one point the right-heater was using 2.2kW while the left-heater was using 525W
