When I precondition the car in cold weather the heater runs at a very slow speed. The moment I start the car it immediately jumps to full blast. Looking through the manual it's supposed to use whatever the last hvac setting was. Is this the expected behavior and is it what you guys see?

If it matters the car charges using a level 2 charger.
 
Ignore the manual on this.

The preconditioning activates heat or AC with a "normal" temperature setting and low fan. It ignores the settings you have made. In fact, you can completely turn-off the HVAC system and preconditioning will still activate it.

It's smart to leave the heated seat(s) turn on when you get out of the car in winter, as that is the only way for them to work when you precondition.
