The Lightning asked to be plugged in last night because it was cold.

I checked the charger stats this morning and it did call for heat overnight. No departure setting etc.

I am wondering if it would have used the battery to perform the same function if not plugged in.

Did you consider just tucking it in with a blankie?

Mine said the same message last night. I didn't plug in as i was already at 95% charge from the night before.

I then remote started the car this morning but when i got in it would let me turn it "on" and sowed message "Slow to stop immediately" and service truck soon. i turned off and back on still same message and also unable to shift.

A quick google search i found a thread on the mock E forum about cycling the hazard lights three times on and off. I didn't that and when i started the call all the faults where gone I shifted into reverse and drove to work.

my range was about 25 miles lower than what i would have typically expected in the morning. so not sure if this was because of the tempiture. was 19F when i got in this morning but guessing has something to do with that or the recent OTA updates.

Regardless i think i will be keeping mine plugged in over the winter now since the wifes car takes up the garage and i cant fit in anyways unless i re-arrange all my tool boxes and fishing gear.

So, what SOC limit do you use when you plug it in all night. If you weren't driving it the next day would you still plug it in?

I max mine at 90% and plug it in most nights especially in winter. If I didn't go anywhere the day before I don't usually plug it in unless it's going to be super cold. In the 2+ years I owned it only saw the message once... Think temp was below 0

Mine’s been telling me to plug it in when I turn it off when it’s in the 30s

not that I do

Mine too but usually when I get to work where I can't charge.
