I can precondition my Tesla. The car is scheduled to be fully defrosted, cabin preheated and battery preconditioned for 8.30 every weekday.

If you navigate to a supercharger it will precondition the battery as you approach.

I know. But when you're driving you need to navigate. Which is drawback compared to cars where you can just have a button to tell it to start preconditioning regardless.

I suppose having a manual override is better than not having it - especially for non-Tesla chargers - but for most long journeys I’m setting up the sat nav anyway for traffic and it’s aware of each supercharger stop to the destination.
