Scheduled Departure Confusion.

[brkaus]

Okay, I set up the scheduled departure option last night for a 8:45 AM departure. On my App it showed that Charging will start at 2:40 AM. Apparently, because I turn my phone off every night the charging did not start until I turned my phone on this morning. Does anyone know why. What happens to those who don’t use the phone as a key?

That makes no sense. I'm not saying it didn't happen, but it really makes no sense.

I know right. I doesn’t make sense to me either. But as soon as I turned my phone on and opened the App at 7:05, that’s when the car started charging.

My guess it had nothing to do with turning the phone off, but it was opening the app that did it. Several people have reported issues where if the car sleeps, it doesn't wake up properly.

Today when I got home it did not start charging, now when I just checked my App, it says "Charging scheduled, it will start at 00:00". Previous week-days it was stating that charging will start at 2am or 2:30am.

So did it start charging at midnight?

yes it did.

Ok so it seems here's the situation:

• Set scheduled departure for weekdays only: Car will finish charging by 6am M-F, then pre-condition for your set time. On Sat/Sun it will charge as soon as you plug in.
• Set scheduled departure for 7 days: Car will finish charging by 6am everyday and pre-condition every day
• Set scheduled departure for 7 days, with "only precondition weekdays": Car will finish charging by 6am every day, then pre-condition for your set time M-F

There appears to be no way to set Scheduled Departure with NO pre-conditioning at all

honestly i'd rather just have the two segregated. i want my car to "always be charged" when i come home, but pre-condition in the mornings. or, at the very least, explain to me how long the pre-conditioning lasts and let me do it before i leave. because turning on the climate does NOT precondition the battery.

I agree - just make them two different things.

I hear a loud humming noise when my battery is cold and I use the app to turn on the cabin heat. I do not think I am hearing the heater fan - it sounds more like the car is energizing the motor to create heat so it can pump it through the battery and warm it up.

But I haven't investigated more closely to see if that's what's actually happening.

I like the feature...just have no idea why it's not an option to set individual days. I don't work a regular M-F job.

Same. I'd like the one off ability to set it as and when I need to.

I don't commute to work every day, I go into the office a couple of days a week on different days and work from the home office the rest of the week.

I also notice that the latest version of the phone app no longer shows start time for charging. It just says it will be ready for departure at your schedule departure time.

Can always turn it to “off” when not needed.
