Body Shop Appointment

[WhyElAre]

Just wanted to see if anyone had any similar experience as what I’m going through now.
I dropped my car off for service two weeks ago and it isn’t due to be ready for pick up for another month. (Body shop) I dropped off the car with 20% charge. I see on the app that my car has been at the body shop with 9% and it isn’t plugged in. I don’t like that they’re leaving it with less than 15% for a prolonged period of time. Are there any rules or policies about this?

No, and there is no real problem with it either as long as its not at "zero" for a long period of time.

If this was really a concern you Might have charged it before dropping it off…. There is no “rule” to fuel your car.

Both times my cars have been in the body shop they requested my battery be above 60% if possible, you probably shouldn't have dropped off with such a low SOC. Tesla certified body shops are required to have charge connectors on site, why dont you call them and have them plug it in? The major risk as I see it is the HV battery running flat which tends to ruin the 12v battery.
