Hey, so just noticed that my defrost turned on while charging. Had the R1T for a month and never noticed this but I started charging and my ac was completely off (usually I'm running AC or heat, but the weather was so nice so I didn't need it). When I plugged in, only the defrost turned on. When I turned it off my charge rate dropped immediately from 150kw to 48 kw (stating the charging was limited by the station). I immediately turned the defrost back in and I went back to 150kw.

Just curious if anyone else noticed this. Something I thought was interesting.

So does this imply heat shedding from the battery to the cabin?
