Being able to pre-warm the car (and seats) from your phone is nice though.
Yeah but here's the thing with that. It would live in a climate controlled garage at home, and work is only 25 miles each way. So even if I had one of the midrange cars, I'd have plenty of range that I wouldn't have to pay the insane fees to charge at work. And in the winter, Marisa and I don't do any of the long trips that would tax the range that much.
