What is this icon next to the battery in the Tesla App?

I was charging my model 3 for
A long trip this morning and I see this icon next to the battery icon. I have never seen it so I was wondering what it was? Outside temperature is about 45. Also notice the orange charging slider.

Thanks.

System is warming up the battery.

@dvaquerano and I believe the orange is to caution you that you've set your charge limit to 100%. Doing so is fine for the occasional road trip or extended drive of course.

EDIT: unless of course you've got an SR+ with the LFP battery, in which case 100% on the daily is fine.

In addition, once you charge it to 100% you need to start driving soon. Keeping a fully 100% charged battery sitting idle for a long time is not advisable.

Under what conditions does the battery warm up other than pre-conditioning when you navigate to a Supercharger?

I know this is old, but it looks like the OP had a scheduled departure time so I suspect it was that.

Thanks everyone, this icon actually popped up after it completed charging to 100% and I enabled defrost. So I actually thought it was more of a “battery too warm” sort of message rather than “battery pre heating”. I did have preconditioning set to 7:30am and I took this capture around 7:40am.

Once I started driving regen was disabled(dotted line to about middle) as expected.

I rarely charge to more than 80% and it’s my first winter with the car so I am not very familiar with all the visualizations and color changes

Thanks again!

I’m pretty sure the regen is unavailable because energy can’t be added to the battery when at 100%
Otherwise, the preheated battery would be ready for regen and you should not see the dots.

I only asked because I’ve preconditioned on a few occasions and never saw the image to the right of the battery shown in the OP’s photo.

For the record - when I said “I know this is old” I meant the post because I’m an idiot and was looking at the wrong date and it was too late to edit. Don’t mind me!

I just turned on the Climate control from my phone app and the 3 red wavy lines appeared. I am curious in the summer time if the lines will be blue!

Air Cool and Air Heat, Steering Wheel Heat, Seat Heat (3 red wavy lines), rear window heat, Front Window Heat work from APP. No Seat Cool though(3 Blue wavy lines) On APP.

Your battery is smelly.

There is nothing to warm after the battery is full
