I know this has been mentioned before but it seems like such a no-brainer. I have NO SET SCHEDULE, but would like to (departure) precondition WHEN NEEDED - ONCE. Why ooh why Brian @Ford do I have to set a SCHEDULE just to precondition my car ONCE?

Especially since once you set a schedule you can’t delete it and it is flaky and turns on at times even though you have turned it off.

Did you mean to tag @Ford Motor Company ?

This is a top requested feature and the team is aware. I, too, would love to see it! Alas, I don't have an answer for you.

I second this request!
It would also be immensely useful for starting preconditioning while on the road when you decide you are going to pull over to charge in say 30 minutes.
Particularly here in the Norwegian/Swedish winter.

Yes! I would love to be able to precondition the battery manually. I do t usually use Ford’s navigation, but even when I do, charging stations are not always listed or easy to find (especially when driving).
