I basically don't drive the MB in the winter but the work truck gets plugged in whenever the temp gets down to the high 20's at night. A cheap timer turns it on at 4:30am so its ready to go at 7:30. Sure it'll start on its own right down below zero but plugging it in lets it start easier and the heat comes on a whole lot sooner too. RT
