Hi all.
New member here, I've had my MME for just over a month.
I'm curious about the reasons for battery preconditioning. Is there a long-term benefit like battery longevity? Or is the benefit just for short-term... better range on your current charge, warm cabin, etc?
My daily driving takes my charge level from 90% down to 75%. Or if it's a really big day maybe down to 50%. So I don't need to eek out every last mile.
Looking at my charger app for the month to date, it costs on average $1/day to precondition 5 days a week. I'm guessing as it gets colder the precondition time will get longer.
If there is a long-term benefit then great, I'll keep doing what I'm doing. But if there is no long-term benefit then maybe I'll just remote start the MME 10 minutes before I leave.
Any thoughts?
