Hey everyone. I had the chance to leave the R1T in the garage for about two months while I'm (still...) out of town training for a new job. I thought this would be a good time to see how long I could leave it unplugged!
Unfortunately I didn't take as much data as all you smarty-pants' probably would have, but there's some interesting baseline numbers to look at here:
Starting charge: 70% (242 miles) on March 5
Average temperature: ~45/50 degrees F (stored in the garage)
Ending charge: 13.6% (47 miles) on April 21
Small disclaimer, only needed to move the truck in and out of the garage to move the garbage bins every week
In total, the truck lasted 47 days without being plugged in. That averages out to 4.14 miles/day or 1.2%/day of idle drain. I guess I could have left it unplugged for another 10 days, but I saw another post on here where it cost someone $1000 to bring their R1T back from the dead.
