No, I'm not a "have you told Tesla" kinda guy. I tell it like it is in these forums. They read these forums, we're tellin' 'em here!
I see what you mean. Ya, I live with that stuff too and have devised work-arounds. But your point is taken..if the gears creating these cars had truly lived in a cold zone... these features would start appearing in the software.
FYI - my experience is that heated seat settings (front 2 only) *are remembered* when you leave the car.. and later turn on climate from the app the heat the car... I arrive and see those 2 front seats also glowing at the number I last left the car. You just have to leave the car w/o turning them off.
And of course, my work-around for battery heating is to "save 10% charge room" for the morning. I wake up and bump the battery to 90% which starts the motions that will start drawing power from the wall to heat the battery... I can usually get to a state of having "some" regen capability by the time breakfast is done and I'm baking out of the garage. The last 10 minutes of wait time in the house is when the climate goes on to heat cabin... It's a ritual.. WHICH IS PERFECT FOR SOFTWARE (call it "AI") to do for you. Call it machine learning, or call it a macro... just do these steps for me please App, please, with a button: "Prepare car for cold launch".
My beef on regen in cold weather is that it is set to zero after a nice long cold soak so the beefy motors-come-generators do *nothing* to help the car with a frozen battery. The most obvious thing would be use the regen power to heat heater elements that warms the battery.. duh. You know, warm up the damn coolant!
Now we're WAY OFF TOPIC sorry.
Heated wheels anyone, to melt away ice?
