I love the idea of getting into my car and having it nice and cool. Here in So Cal, it's hot a lot of the time, so being able to cool the cabin while away from the car is a great idea.
However, it doesn't make much sense to cool the cabin all night, for example. Or, if you're at work, cooling it all day and depleting the battery is a waste.
What would be great would be a way to set a timer to schedule cabin cooling. So you arrive at work at 9, and set it to cabin cool to 72 degrees or whatever at 4 PM. By the time you leave the building at 5, you've got a lovely cool car waiting for you.... or in winter, you schedule the heater to turn on at 5 AM, so that it's ready for you at 6....
