To Charge or not while away

[Gil Shanley]

I will be on a four day trip, flying. Will leave car in my garage. I have a Tesla Wall Charger.
Question is, should I leave the charger plugged in while gone or not?
Thanks for your responses.

Why wouldn't you leave it plugged in?

Yep, no issues

I would leave it plugged in, perhaps lower the charge target a bit.

only exception - If severe weather (electrical storm) was expected.

Four days is nothing to be concerned about. A YouTuber left his M3 at the airport in NORWAY (think white stuff) recently for 22 days and the charge only dropped 10% from 82% when he parked it due to vampire drain.

If only the car's manual asked and answered this specific question.

(It does, and the answer is yes.)

I went on a trip away during a vacation for about week, 8 days. I was also contemplating plugging it in or not. I ultimately decided to keep it unplugged just in case something happened at home with power or something. Lost several miles due to vampire drain but nothing appreciable. Easy peazy, I personally wouldn't plug it in on a trip unless you needed a certain charge when you returned. Good luck!

We were back and forth between home in SC and a project location in DC. I would occasionally leave our X in SC for weeks to months. I always left it plugged in. Love our X and preordered a Cybertruck.

Four days is nothing. Just leave it plugged in, like normal.
