V9 Cold weather update.

With the car left outside and unplugged for about 5 hours in -8C weather, the car had no regen available for about 10 minutes of city driving. Regen started to appear just under 20 km/hr after about 10 minutes.
Forgot to ask: If regen is disabled and you turn of climate control when car is standing still, do you get a power-draw then? I wonder if engine is used to heat battery when there is no regen :) In my car range mode OFF I get 3-6kW-powerdraw with climate off when car is standing still if regen is below 30kW. With range mode ON all heating is passive and batteryheater does not kick in unless batterytemp is about -10C or below.
