Battery preconditioning is automatic, when a Supercharger is picked through the Navigation map. Whether it will be sufficient, that depends on the temp and distance to the charger. Latch problems in freezing temps is not new. Some drivers even work around the frozen connectors by parking sideways (!) to the charger then bringing the connector indoors just to warm it up enough for the moisture to thaw out. Don't know how long this could take. Perhaps, some heated receptacles on the charger or some antifreeze laced cradle could deal with that. Again, this is the reality of wider EV adoption, extension of field-test. So some adjustments are due.
