Precondition without climate control

[groci3]

Hi,

I have the car set to precondition at 7:45AM without climate control, however the climate control still turns on, not sure why.
Maybe there is some other settings that disables climate control?
I only want the battery warmed up before leaving for maximum range, I am not interested in having the car heated before driving in the morning.

Thanks

I am a bit confused between departure time, precondition, and climate control.
What is the difference between them?

batteries will only be warmed up (pre-conditioned) if:
- you have departure time set
- you have pre-conditioning turned on
- you are plugged into a level 2 charger

No way to pre-condition the batteries and not get the cabin to heat up (it heats to 72, you can't control the temp)
No way to get seat heaters on through pre-conditioning
"fan" looking button on app only heats cabin, does not initiate pre-conditioning of battery
You can program departure times and pre-conditioning through app, but its obtuse. Hit the clock button above picture of car, on next screen, hit the time widget in the middle of screen, this should bring up scheduling screen. Set departure time, make sure pre-conditioning is marked as on, accept changes, they will be sent to car (unless the servers in Germany are having trouble talking to the car).

The level 2 requirement for battery pre-warm bit may be country specific.
