confused:
I fully charged my leaf;
I went out to the car and while still plugged in turned car on.
I turned on the heat. the fan blows (and radio works, etc) but no warmth comes out
once i unplug car to drive it, the heater fires up just fine.
is that the way it's supposed to work? I thought that was the idea to have it plugged in so i could 'preheat' car while still plugged in?
when the weather was warm, i did this (run the a/c while plugged in); but if i recall correctly it was never fully charged... and that worked for cooling as expected.
It's a (edit: 2017) model S (so no remote control). It's not particularly cold here, maybe low is high 30's F.

I've never used the car's timers -- i'm sortof confused by them and in any event seem very limited function. I do use a timer in my charger.
