It kinds of does that, because if you start the climate control while plugged in, it'll start drawing from the charger even if charging has already finished.

This is most often seen if you remotely turn on the climate control to warm the car up in the morning, when the car is still plugged in after overnight charging.

And with scheduled charging you don't even have to manually do this, it just does it based on your departure time. My Model 3 is always warm and toasty by 8:30 AM M-F all winter. As someone with an unheated detached garage this is very nice. At least it was before I quit driving anywhere.
I really need to get my wall charger installed, this would be completely infeasible with the Level 1. COVID-19 sort of messed with my plans here
