I had an idea on a possible work-around to mitigate the risk of the 2023 PHEV not starting after a night of extreme cold. There is a scheduled warm-up option on the app. If I were to schedule a pre-heat for say every 3 hours (you only get 3 schedule slots to activate at once) would that operation be enough to alter the battery temp? I know the the cabin wont actually heat but simply starting the fans would use some power. It is my understanding that some heat will be created within the battery as it discharges. It's not a perfect fix but if I'm away from home and cannot plug-in and expecting -30 C or lower I might set this up just for a bit more piece of mind.
I'd love to hear peoples thoughts on if you think this is feasible or if there are some major flaws.
