> While I get dressed, I turn on extended range mode and turn the heat on.
What is "extended range mode" sorry? I'm aware of preconditioning, setting departure time etc.

Teslas allow you to set the max charge %. The interface has changed over the years but it's more or less a slider allowing you to set the max charge %. In it's latest incarnation you can do 1% increments, in the past it was less granular.
When you plug the car in, an interface appears on the main display allowing you to adjust the % as well as charge rate and some other things. You can also adjust the settings from the App on your phone.
Typically you'd set it to X% and forget about it until you were planning a road trip then you might crank it up to 100% either the night before or while sitting at a supercharger.
This should really be a standard OS feature on Android phones.
In theory it is possible to keep driving the car past a "0%" charge, assuming the safety systems could be bypassed, but you would never get the same range/acceleration on subsequent charges. Worst case would need am entirely new battery pack.
