Hi all!
This struck me as odd today--why does the car still lose miles while parked and plugged in? Shouldn't it be running from shore power (like how AC and heat does) ? I leave the car plugged in all day when I'm at my office on a 40amp J1772 and watch the miles drop in Visible Tesla.
Further, then I don't get the motto: "a happy Tesla is a plugged-in Tesla".... what does that really mean? "a charged-once-a-day Tesla is a happy Tesla" ? The car doesn't seem to do much of anything beyond pre-cooling/heating the cabin with shore power after the main charging time is complete.
Or is this part of the vampire drain concept?
Thanks for any thoughts.....
