Hi everyone,
So the good news is, it seems that scheduled charging and heating works to some degree (it never used to work for me before the last update), and the climate control does trigger whilst the car is plugged-in and charging - however I noticed that this is how it works (example: the battery is not fully charged but not that low SOC, with a departure time set at 7am:
As a result of the current implementation, I got multiple pings from Bluelink during the very early morning of charging start/completion (I choose to have Bluelink override overnight DND on my phone so that in case there's anything important I'll hear/see it).
In addition, my concern is that if the SOC was lower and the car still started to charge at 3am, the car may not have reached my desired SOC by the time I left - full diclosure, I haven't had the chance to test that scenario.
Interested to know the opinions/thoughts of others on this - I mean it works which is great, but in reality this implementation doesn't seem that senisble/efficient to me. Also it would be great if we can just schedule the CC and plug the car in without needing to schedule an unnecessary charge.
Thanks all!
Adam

- Car starts charging (for me it was around 3am)
- Car completes charging (around 6am)
- Car frequently starts/stops charging every few minutes up to 6:50am (it's already at desired target SOC) and then the climate control starts at 6:50am
- Car finishes charging and CC at 7am
