Then suddenly i see a message popping up on the display :

"Battery pre-heating activated to enable fast DC charging"

I was not driving to a DC fast charger and i did not manually activate this function.

I also checked if maybe i had activating battery pre-heating stored under gesture controls, so that maybe i just activated by mistake, but this is also not the case.

This has happened a couple of times to me now, and i am wondering if it is just a software bug, or that maybe it is something that is meant to happen when driving with a cold battery.

Car is a 12/2023 iX M60

Am i the only one with this issue or do other people also see this happening ?
No, this doesn't happen when driving with a cold battery.
Did you have your NAV set to route you to work? Is it possible that your settings made it add a charging stop for you because you weren't going to reach your destination with a high enough SoC?
