Preconditioning confusion

I couldn't figure out why, but preconditioning seemed to not work when I would test it. I just didn't have time to test it in enough depth.

 

Today, I did. I was away from it and getting a ride back to where it was at 4:28, so I set it to 65ºF at 4:35. Arrived at 4:34... Nothing.

 

Sat in the car, made sure the 4:35 go time had in fact synced - It had. Set it to 4:40 manually on the car. Nothing.

 

Started doing other stuff on my phone. At 4:45 - 5 minutes *after* the set go time - The fans kicked on.

Drove back to my office, arrived at 5:08. I had it on the Energy Settings screen, and it said "Charge at GO time: Under 100%". This, despite the fact that it said my next go time was at 2:50 PM on 5/28 and the battery was at 88%, needing 1.1 hours to charge on L1. WTF again.

 

 

That 2:50 time sounded wrong, so I looked at the full go time schedule, and that's when I figured it out... At least partially.

 

My car thinks it's Friday.

 

Next go time was set for *Saturday* at 2:50 PM. Friday had go times for 8:30 AM and 5:00 PM. It didn't kick on until 4:45 before my drive to the office because it thinks it's Friday and was getting ready for the 5:00 PM go time. 

 

Now, on the Energy Settings screen it says "5/28/2016" for the next Go time so it's not the wrong year. I set it to display date instead of time, and it said 5/26. Both correct. But, for some reason, it thinks today is Friday.

 

I couldn't even find a way to set the date in the menus and it appeared to be correct, so I just told it to "Reset clock to GPS time" and moved it up an hour for DST and it appears to have corrected itself. Weird.
