Hey everyone new member here! My goal is (and has been for 10 years) to purchase a roadster, and I am here to learn as much about them as I can.
Are there any downsides to pulling the Service Disconnect if you are going on a multi week vacation or storing the car for an extended period?
I have read many horror stories about people accidentally bricking the roadster by not realizing the circuit has tripped when going on vacation etc so is there any downside to leaving a roadster with the ESS disconnected? Also when shipping the car cross-country should you pull the disconnect to be on the safe side, or is this unnecessary?
I know the car cannot cool the pack, but would it even need any pack cooling since the battery isn't charging or discharging when disconnected? When disconnected does the battery risk becoming unbalanced?
Is there anything you need to do to the car before pulling the disconnect, and when you reconnect what procedures do you then need to follow?
