I don't think you quite understand.

I set the navigation to where I need to get to. The navigation system will add necessary stops at Superchargers, and, without pressing any buttons, will automatically start preconditioning based on my expected arrival at the Supercharger.

On a journey, I just precondition my battery (heat it up by pressing a button), and stop for a coffee.

In my Tesla, once the navigation system knows that I am headed to a Supercharger, it automatically turns on pre-conditioning at the appropriate point in my journey.

OK, so if you disagree with 99.9% of what I write, tell me do you agree or disagree with this thesis I wrote a year ago about Islam being at war with the rest of Civilization:

this position on the government being 'necessary' evil that needs to be controlled because left to its own devices it causes millions of deaths by war and other means:

position that USA is printing the dollar into oblivion, gold is real money and should be used as standard to prevent countries from inflating the money supply, that USA bonds are junk, of-course this was 2013 when USA's debt was around 16Trillion, today it is over 38Trillion, things have gotten worse by a factor greater than 2, the world is getting off the USD standard, using other currencies more, bond yields have at least doubled due to the falling bond price:

You can say whatever you like about my intelligence but if you disagree with 99.9% of my comments you are quite a bit off.

I recently bought a Fitbit, and one of the best features is the smart alarm clock. Instead of just going off at a particular time, it waits until you are naturally awake in the half hour leading up to the designated time. Much gentler and I greatly prefer it.

So there is a reason to pay more for a simple alarm clock, but mine does not require a subscription. If they start requiring one, I'll return it immediately.

No need to imagine, you have been able to do that for years. Nio has had battery swap stations running for some time in Europe, and they are great.

Faster than pumping dino juice, and the battery get is guaranteed to meet a minimum, high specification. Never heard of any problems, but if there were you would just swap it out again for a few Euros.

You have infinite battery warranty too because if you did ever manage to put enough miles on yours to wear it out, just get it swapped.
