Preconditioning navigating to non-mapped Tesla SC.

[VSG]

So, a related question, what happens if it does not pre-condition before stopping at a DCFC? Does it hurt the battery, or just use lower power?

Preconditioning improves the charging curve but does use energy. When routing to a charger, the vehicle will precondition if and when and for how long it thinks is necessary. There is absolutely no chance of damaging the battery if you don't precondition.

Regardless, the whole premise of this thread is wrong. In particular:

1. Tesla superchargers that are open - both Magic Dock and those open to Rivians with a NACS adapter, ARE MAPPED in the Rivian navigation. Period.
2. If you route to an open Tesla supercharger, your Rivian WILL precondition if it decides it needs to precondition.
