No way to Prepare Cabin Off-Plug on 2024 models?

The overarching purpose of that switch is to have you acknowledge the impact of a perpetually repeating schedule driven by what you post in the departure timer schedule.

There is a 2 events limiter for remote starts aka departure timed starts, will kick in and save our bacon, by not allowing a third event to commence until the START button has been pushed for a drive/run cycle.

Even if you do drive it daily or periodically during the week but only charge once a week, this could eat into your energy consumption with little or no benefit.

Pre conditioning is an overloaded term. There's "Preconditioning the battery" which means getting your battery to the ideal temp. This uses a bunch of power when temps are far off 75F, so it's really only a good idea to do it if you're plugged in. Then there's "preconditioning the cabin" which mean making it comfortable for passengers, this just turns on the climate controls which will require less energy than getting the battery to a certain temp. Read that setting as "Do you want the cabin comfortable regardless of if you are plugged in or not?" Which might be ideal for setting up a departure time for when you leave the office if they don't have EV charging available.

Related question - will the battery precondition for a scheduled departure if I’m plugged in to Level 1 charging? Or does this only work with Level 2?

We've come to the assumption that L1 energy flow [1.44 KW] is not sufficient to condition the battery, it's not even keeping up with cabin conditioning for the 5 to 30 minute cycle times depending on your settings and use of the extend button in a remote-start process, while the departure time process can last longer than 30 minutes in the battery warming phase, but I don't have graphs of that since I'm using L2 with the FCSP at 80 amp setting.
