He's spot on. Tesla vehicles heat up a cold battery pack when charging and IIRC Tesla suggests an upper charge limit of 80% for daily driving to minimize any additional wear from keeping it at a high state of charge all the time. The best approach is to plug it in and have it only charge to 80% and leave thermal management to the car, it will heat up the pack if it needs it instead of just charging it cold.
