Ohh that’s very interesting! I do have a Hybrid so that may be why the temperature is so much different in the morning. So your saying for non-hybrid cars if the temp is above 15c/60f the preconditioning does not turn on A/C, it only ventilates outside air into the cabin. For my hybrid 745e when it’s preconditioning, the AC is actually on when I get into my car, even if the outside temperature is only 67°F. I was thinking that the preconditioning would be set to the temperature that my thermostat was last set on but maybe it just puts it on full blast when it’s above 15c/60f. Again in a month or so when it’s hotter this would be fine, but for right now in the morning it’s only around 67°F. When I get in the car the AC is going full blast and it feels like 60° or less, plus seat ventilation set on max, and I’m only wearing shorts and a T-shirt so it’s quite a shock. I’m going to put a smart thermometer in the cabin to see exactly what’s going on there when it’s preconditioning. Thanks for the info!
