Leave plugged in when out of town?

[bulls96]

GOing on a trip for one week and leaving the car behind.

Is it best to leave it plugged or unplugged in my garage? I have the nema 14-50 Tesla mobile charger.

Thanks guys.

Set max charge to 50%, leave plugged in.

If you're getting back late and need more charge the next day you can raise the charge limit back to normal with the app a few hours before coming home.

My car's charged to 80% already. Can I still set the limit to 50%?

Yes, set charge limit to 50 and walk away. You could also do a quick search on the forums. This has been asked and answered many times.. I am not trying to be an well you know but it is the truth.
I know because I had the same question a while back and found my answer with a search.

That's no problem. The car will wake up once per day to check the charge and then go back to sleep if it is over 50%.

Left for a one week trip at 75%, came back at 71%. Car never charged.

No worries 96! I browse the what's new threads to find info on the Tesla I will one day own and found this thread informative! Have a safe trip!

Don't worry about it. A week at 80% or 50% isn't really going to matter.

If you were going on an around the world cruise for three months, that would be a bigger deal.
