Leaving Lightning unplugged for a couple weeks

[LariatLarry]

Like at an airport parking lot, with about 40% charge. Will it lose any of the charge?

No, it'll be fine and that's a good level for it to be at while you're away.

I believe best practices is to store it at 50% or less for how long I have no idea. Perhaps someone with better information will post.

Parked a couple weeks .... VS. Storage.

What are the expected temperatures for the time period it will be sitting?

That must be where I remember the 50% from!
So for a couple of weeks it doesn’t matter??

Obviously, that would be you

My MY23 was one of the ones that had a hold on delivery after the fire at Ford in Feb '23. It sat at the transfer yard for 9 weeks at 70% soc. I've had zero issues to date. I think it dropped 3% over the 9 weeks it sat in the cold in Toronto.

Right. Less than 30 days it's fine. And 40% is fine vs. 50%.
