Slow (17kW) Supercharging in the cold. You?

That means "waste power to heat it to 80 degrees which is the optimal min temp for full charging on a 3.

Well at 17 kW it takes 3 hours to charge from 10% to 80% on a LR Model 3. If it has to "waste" a couple kWh so I can charge in 20 minutes rather than 3 hours, then please do!

I would be curious to know how much capacity this warm up will take, and what happens when you are really low on charge. The other is I hope it is made obvious that you have to input a SC as a destination for the warmup feature to work.

Happy for this change. Living in NC it's been frustrating a few times and I'm sure it's much worse in colder areas.

I would rather have a battery temperature displayed and a switch to warm it up when I want to.
