Can the car Preheat/cool based on location?

I’ve watched several of the videos and read several threads on profiles and timers but haven’t found an answer. I’m guessing it is not possible.

Is it possible to set a preheat/cool schedule without a charge profile/timer based on location?
My work schedule is pretty erratic (both days and time) so if I’m not scheduled to work, I’d like to precondition for an 08:30 departure on weekdays. If understand correctly, I can set a profile based on location for that because I’ll be plugged in.

But if I’m at work and potentially not plugged in to a charger, I’d like to precondition based on a varying but predictable schedule… for example, at work, I finish at 11AM, 3PM, 7 PM, or 11PM. We do have chargers at work so it looks like I can set a location based profile/timer if I’m plugged in but is that precondition schedule possible if the chargers are full?

As far as I'm aware no. I also have an erratic working schedule and I just use the app about 10 min before I set off. In moderate climates that's more than adequate time.

Not possible.

What you can do independently of either a profile or timer is a manual precool / heat on demand.

Profiles have no relationship with preheating / preconditioning.

You can use up to 4 timers to preheat / cool and you don't need to be charging or connected to an EVSE.

Note that this isn't preconditioning of the battery if that's what you are referring to.
