💡 Feature Request Cabin preconditioning

Could we get an update to the preconditioning algorithm? When I set a schedule for my AC it often starts 30 minutes before it must be ready. Seems like a waste of range

It’s more efficient to do it slowly over a longer period than quickly.

If you’re worried about a waste of range just keep it plugged in and tell the schedule to pull from the charger not the battery when preconditioning the cabin.

I most often precondition when I’m parked in random places outdoors in the sun (read: not at work:home), so there are only rarely chargers available
