Cold start to the day in Cooma.

Ice on the car. From the app, we preheated the car before the morning coffee run. The cold reduced the tyre pressures from 42 to 38 psi, until the car got moving.

Charging:

While getting coffee, I parked at the Tesla supercharger in Cooma for a few minutes. It would normally charge at around 100kW. But, due to the cold, it started at only 25kW, increasing slowly as it heated the battery. I did enter the charger as the destination earlier, so the car could precondition the battery, but it seems to only do that while driving, not while parked before I left the accommodation.

Looking at the stats of our trip since our previous charge (in Cooryong), where we had driven across Kosciusko National Park, I noticed that we had used 38% battery climbing mountains, but had regained 30% descending those mountains. Free charging from gravity!
