ok, i'm a pretty new owner so i didn't really know but i left my MX at my work parking structure last week and left town for a week. i didn't leave it plugged in...just wasn't thinking or knew i should do that. i also didn't put the car into low energy mode or anything like that.

i did that because it's a new car and my garage at my townhouse near work is tiny. my townhouse is only a pied-a-terre in the SF bay area but i live in Seattle so i will be flying tomorrow to get the car and drive it home to Seattle.

when i get to the car tomorrow night, i will have been gone for 10 days.

i had around 160 miles of range when i left. i've been checking the app pretty much daily to check on the car and it's been seemingly ok but range is down to about 110 miles now. still plenty of range left before it would go to 0.

my concern now is on the 12v battery. i've been checking the app for car status so i have been waking up the car pretty much daily. i guess the battery is still up and running since the app is able to connect to the car.

i guess my question is how the 12v battery gets charged? am i good since the main battery has enough juice? or can the 12v battery deplete even though the main battery isn't depleted?

should i make sure to stop checking up on the car via the app? i went from checking on the car twice/day or so to checking once/day. i just wanted to make sure that it's still there, not towed, etc.
