I checked my charger and it seems to pull electricity during the preconditioning times. But I want to make sure

It depends on how cold it is really. 6A @ 240V = 1.44kW. That's probably okay if you're talking like 50 degrees, but yesterday it was 20F here and I averaged ~7.2kW while pre-conditioning for about 20 minutes (used 3% of battery = ~2.43 kWh in 20 minutes). I also noticed the car using 12.1kW while in drive-ready state but not moving when I wasn't pre-conditioned around that temperature, so if it's sufficiently cold, you might still draw from the battery even at 48A.
