Yes, as long as the battery is fully heated. It does take longer for the battery to heat than it does the cabin though.So the battery is pre-heated also, not just the cabin? There were some claims, that there is not any battery pre-heating possibility. Apparently this was wrong info.
Do you get full regenerative breaking right form the start?

As far as I know, only models shipped to northern Europe and perhaps northern parts of US\Canada has dedicated battery-heaters. If you don`t use rangemode, the battery will preheat at 6 kW untill itj reaches 30 kW-regen I think while you heat the cabin. After 30 mins both stop. If you use rangemode the batteryheater is turned off. If I go on roadtrips and the temperature is very low I either use the charger at 13 amps and preheat with rangemode off, and turn on rangemode when I get in my car.
Scaesare: I believe I heard that northern european versions have a more powerful batteryheater. It was a option in the winterpackage in Norway but before the first cars got deliverred they made it stock for all cars deliverred here.

Battery heating is a side effect of battery charging. Therefore, another way to heat the battery when the car is fully charged is to increase the charging limit. For example, if the limit is normally set to 80%, increase it temporarily to 90%. This will start the charging and the battery heating - independent of the passenger compartment heating.
Yes - from all we know, Range Mode turns off battery heating via preheating the car.
Yes, and I think it also turns off, or scales back pack heating even when you're driving the car too.
