Warm SuperCharger Cable in Cold

Now Implemented!

Description

When it is very cold, the Supercharger cable becomes stiff from the cold and is hard to maneuver into a charge port. Suggest adding a heating wire into the Supercharger cable, and turning it on when a Model S gets near to the cable. This could make the cable more flexible and easier to manage.
