Mildly concerned to see reports of cracked windscreens (possibly) as a result of using the Defrost function in the cold weather we’re having. Usually I turn on the climate control about 10 minutes before I head out for my usual commute, and this is enough to warm the cabin and melt the frost on the windscreen so I’ve not been tempted to use the Defrost function. However, I have a few long drives coming up, which are likely to begin in very cold temperatures so I’m wondering whether I should use the Pre-condition function to warm the battery pack (while plugged in to my charger) so increase range and efficiency. Is setting the Pre-condition function the same as using Defrost function, and if so is there a slight risk of a windscreen crack?
Trying not to be paranoid about this, but discovering a cracked windscreen at the start of a long drive to the Alps would be a major PITA.
