While we rarely lose power (underground power lines around our property), sometimes there are widespread outages during these nasty midwestern ice storms that we get. I have a small generator we can use for a little light and portable heaters and might be able to add a bit of juice to the Tesla in a worst case scenario. But I'm considering doing a range/max charge tonight after I get home just in case we do lose power.
Good idea or just being paranoid and am better off not adding the strain on the battery?
*edit:
A couple key details I should have added:
1)I plan to drive to work first thing in the morning and there will be some vampire drain as well...I suspect by the time I get home from work tomorrow I'll be down to a pretty standard charge or lower.
2)We have 2 backup vehicles (a Prius and a Highlander Hybrid), so I'm not going to be stranded either way. (probably would have been good to mention that in my original post, will add now)
