Preconditioning only gets it ready for charging. It does almost nothing for driving except to allow the regen to work.

Lithium delivers fine below freezing, but it needs to be above freezing to accept a charge.

When you preconditioned at work for 2 hours all it did was waste battery.

XC trips when you put a supercharger as destination, it will automatically precondition to get ready to charge. And preconditioning takes away from your range.
