The Climate Control Timer can be set in the S Model, even while charging, and even when using L1/120V. (my current setup)
The Climate Control Timer interface/usability: Set the time that the heat/cooling function goes OFF and it automatically turns itself on 30 minutes earlier. So if you want to warm or cool the cabin before leaving at 7:30am, set the Climate Control Timer to 7:30. It will then go on at 7:00am and off at 7:30am. The time period is pre-set to 30 minutes. The settings allow for a climate ready time based on 10 minute intervals, so it can be set for 7:40 or 7:50, but not 7:45.
It gets set in a 24 hour format. That means 13:00 is 1:00pm, 18:00 is 6:00pm, 23:00 is 11:00pm, and 00:00 is 12:00am.
Use the [] and * buttons immediately under the vent to the left of the sterring wheel to control the LCD display. This document will use parenthesis () to identify what the screen looks like.
If plugged in, start car, wait 2 seconds for the message (Can't Start, Pull Out Charge Plug) and press []Exit or wait for message to clear.
Press [] 0-5 times to see the Settings Menu.

Power car OFF, plug in for charging(if not already plugged in)
If you set your desired Climate Ready Time within the next 30 minutes and you were plugged in previous to starting this, the Auto, Recirculate, and A/C or Heat dash lights will go on immediately after powering off the car. This will occur whether the car is charging or was fully charged and still plugged in.
Also, a Single Blue light nearest the driver will be flashing while the climate control system is running.
No Manual changes will take effect while pre-heating/cooling, any attempt will flash all climate lights for a couple of seconds then return to Auto, Recirculate, and A/C or Heat.
Note: The Pre-heat while plugged in at 120V is lousy. (Chicago Winter 15F outside today, about 30F in my garage) I'm looking forward to getting my 240V service in my garage as the Pre-Heat is reported to be much better.
