Does anyone know the full story on cabin pre-heating on the i3?
In the UK it is tedious defrosting the car after a layer of ice has formed, and to set off only to have it fog up after 100m because the interior is still cold.
It seems to be tied to the heated seats option ("Winter package" at 260 GBP), but is this all that can be warmed? It's not really going to help de-ice the windshield or warm the interior, is it?
Is the "Cold Weather Cabin Preparation" @ 530GBP (heat pump, only for non-REX models) going to allow this?
Does being connected to a charger make any difference?
The dealer was trying to tell me there is some EU reg that bans pre-heating!
