We are snowbirds and recently drove from Phoenix to New York City (Queens).I found the driving and street parking in the city so wild that I have decided not to risk damaging the car and I'm using a Toyota Highlander which has countless dents and scratches that occurred while it was parked on the street.
The Tesla is safely parked in the driveway in the back of my house and has ample charge of 210 miles. Fortunately I have very low phantom drain. I read on the forum recently about the 12 V battery discharging completely while there was ample charge on the main battery. Is there a danger of this happening because the car is not driven?
We will be here another four months. Should I periodically drive it (on safe streets) just to keep things maintained? Should I top off the charge to 90% using 125v home charging or free Supercharging very close to home?
Is there anything else I need to be doing to keep the car in shape?
