Add a battery pre-heating/conditioning start and stop command to use with non-Tesla DC chargers #335

Open atekin opened 2 months ago

If possible please add a command for battery pre-heating/conditioning start/stop command to use with fast non-Tesla DC chargers.

I live in a place that have very limited Tesla superchargers, but have many other local supercharger networks. When in cold environment battery heating takes up to 30-45 minutes while charging with limited DC output. It would be very convenient for me to have a command that pre-heats while driving to a local DC station. I know that when when one selects a Tesla SC the car starts pre-heating but the location is about 300 miles away from me which makes the function useless for me.

We want this too! Many have asked Tesla to support this, but to my knowledge they have not fulfilled this request.

The closest thing to that is turning on max defrost, which ironically is initiated via the endpoint set_preconditioning_max in the Tesla API

Oopps I did not know that

1) API does not support this directly 2) Max conditioning triggers it ... Thank you we'll wait till Tesla for a more direct usability then

By the way I love your app, although the last Fleet API update was a bit rumpy/dumpy/slippery road :) it seems ok now.
