So I heard you are supposed to once in a while run the battery all the way down in order to help balance out the battery and use all the cells once in a while. A lot of people said it will still run below 0 just really slow since the battery has a buffer built in. So I decided to run it down last night. I pulled in to the mall parking lot with 2 miles and decided to drive around till i was about to hit 0 and then go plug it into the supercharger. Well as soon as the car hit 1 mile remaining it said car shutting down, pull over immediately. so i bee lined it to the supercharger and made it close but when I stopped to put it in reverse to back it into the supercharger, the car went into park and wouldnt let me shift anymore.Luckily there was a model X with a bunch of guys charging next to me so I put the car in tow mode and asked them to push me back into the spot!
It took forever for the car to start accepting a charge. For a good 5 minutes it was only accepting like 3 kwh from the supercharger and only started really "supercharging" once it reached 10% battery.
Anyone else have this happen? Are you not supposed to run the battery all the way down once in a while? Any input would be appreciated!
