Question on Using MYLR and Charging for daily Errands

This site may earn commission on affiliate links.
Hi , I am a new owner and waiting for my delivery of MYLR - I am In Ontario Canada , and I have some questions on using the car and charging it for daily errands. I am willing to have it at 80% SoC when I leave the house. Nema 14-50 240 v mobile charger at 32A

1- Scenario one: Weekend leaving at 9 am to drop kids 30kms(~18 miles) away, then going for some grocery and driving back home for another 30Kms - total trip 60-80 Kms back home then . I will be waiting at home for 2 hours before I do same round trip to pick my kids up (no grocery so it will be total of 60 Kms)

Q1 : If it is Winter:
Should I charge my tesla once I am home waiting to go out again in 2 hours - also should I charge it to what percentage? or just keep it plugged in without charging ? (if I set charging to be after 7 pm for offpeak rates)?

Q2: If it is Summer: same question above.


2- Scenario 2: Going to work leaving house with 80% battery SoC, parking my car at the train station for 12 hours , what should I do ? can I just leave it out in Winter and keep Sentry mode on ? or do I need to take more precautions ? , shall I follow the same for Summer as well ?

3- Scenario 3: Parking the car at the airport for 4-5 days leaving house with 80% battery SoC, parking my car at the train station for 12 hours , what should I do ? can I just leave it out in Winter and keep Sentry mode on ? or do I need to take more precautions ? shall I follow the same for Summer as well ?

Thank you and Sorry for the long post.
