Tesla definitely has precondition schedule to warm the battery and interior with Hvac. I don't use it in my garage because I don't care to have the car warm or cold before my drive. It heats and cools so fast I don't see the point. I sometime manually turn on Hvac to defrost my windshield in the winter when it's sitting outside. Turn it on 5 to 10 mins before you're ready to go and your car is heated, seats are hot, and steering wheel too. All from within the app of course.
