If you can, leave it plugged in and set the limit to 70 or 80. You don't really have to worry about the 12v battery it doesn't require the car to be "started" like ICE vehicles.

Leave it plugged in and life will be fine.

There actually is a correct answer here
Set charge to 50 percent and keep car plugged in

Leave it plugged in. Don't bother about changing the setting. Six days is nothing. If you leave it for a month or more, then change the setting to 50%.

leave it plugged in, don't change anything.
If not sure, read the Charging section in the manual which basically says the same thing but with more words.

For six days, just keep it at 90%. Six days is so short it's not worth even thinking about.

Correct, it’s ‘ok’ to keep at 90 percent, but better (ideal) to be at 50 percent. Just depends on if you want to take extra steps to care for your battery

omg all time i charge my car from 60 to 90% ? better to be how much ??

The battery likes to be at 50 percent. That being said, reality is that you need to charge to 80-90 percent daily and the battery management system will do the rest - after all you need to use the car to get around. Lots of threads on this. A well referenced chart points to 70 percent as the safest daily level to charge to. However, that’s not feasible for many and draining the battery to less than 20 percent is also stressful. But, if the car is sitting idle, 50 percent is ideal and keep it plugged so the bms does the rest.

I agree. I had gone away for 11 days and left my X plugged in at 80%, When I returned I drove to work, parked, when I went to leave the car would not even unlock. Had to get towed in and the (small) battery had to be replaced. I asked my service tech and told him how I had left the car. He advised me never to leave it plugged in like that for an extended period of time. If I leave it plugged in lower the capacity to 50%.

In other words, If I am going away for more than a weekend, I would lower the capacity.
