This car has been parked for what seems like 3-5 weeks. I can’t remember exactly when but it’s been there for a while. I want to say it was before the pandemic was announced. Just checking to see if you’re in here and if you need any help getting it charged before it dies out.

Wisconsin plate Model 3 parked in Millbrae parking lot
- Thread starter Venomized

I wonder if you called Tesla Roadside with the VIN if they would get in touch with the owner to make sure they're ok? It's worth a shot...
My buddy had to abandon his Model 3 in a parking garage in New York. He was working in New York and came back to Toronto to visit his family a few weeks ago, he couldn't go back due to the lockout.
I suspect there are quite a few parked/abandoned Model 3's that may not see a charge for several weeks/months.

Hopefully it’s fine. I helped a guy on the local FB group who said his car was down to 5% (Model S) and asked if anyone would go to the airport and get it charged, he got stuck out of town longer than expected.
It all worked out as he unlocked and started it from the app, I drove to the SC got it back to 80% then parked it back at the airport. Dude was super grateful and it didn’t take much of my time anyways to help a fellow owner.

We should start a thread for people stuck in other cities that need this. Maybe members that are willing can watch the thread so they get a notification to check if a post is about a car in their city. Maybe make it a master thread so it stays pinned at the top so people in this predicament can find it easily? Let’s brainstorm some ideas so opportunists don’t start stealing Teslas by posing as members. I just read that crime is way down except for car thefts (up by almost 50% in some cities!) and burglaries of closed businesses.

I think that is a good idea but easily abused. This dude took a HUGE chance on me, I gave him my cell and where I lived yada yada to make him feel comfortable but I don't know if I could that. I think hitting up your local club or whatnot is the best idea or just pay Tesla for the tow...
Millbrae is next to SFO airport. Owner might have left car in the lot to catch a flight.
People leave million dollar hypercars around all the time. If you call the police it would most like be towed at a cost of $150+ per day until picked up and they would not check on the owner.
If the car is parked legally why would they tow it? I'm talking about a welfare check on the owner. For all anyone knows he/she could be dead in the trunk. I've never seen a million dollar car just parked in some lot for 3-5 weeks. Also, if the car is just sitting for weeks some criminal that's been watching it might decide it's safe to break in to it since the owner is absent.
