You left it on a 30 miles and max range of Tesla P90D model when is full capacity is 270 miles?!? And you complain here about you don't have any more juice in the batteries?

[@slorolla1129]

Bizzo Brigante ok if you drive a car with gasoline you're going to loose miles on it too. a car doesn't stay at 270 mile range. maybe he was driving far and there was no tesla charge stations. and he said he didn't know you loose 2-5% of battery a day without using it. grow up man

[@bizzobrigante1588]

If you are going on a trip with a plane you certainly don't leave a car on a 30 miles radius and go away for 10 days and expect battery to stay on the same level after returning back?! For instance he could quick charge a car for a hour or two before the trip and he would still have at least 140 miles radius! I understand the analogy with cars using gasoline but this comparison is foolish! The proper comparison would be to compare a Tesla car with a electronic device like smartphone or laptop that has gone in standby or hibernation and still using some portion of the battery capacity. ( You understand that this is actually what a "huge electronic device" like a Tesla car is doing when is not in the drive mode? ) Btw. You said grow up? I should say smart up! :-)

Uhm why so surprised? When you leave your phone for a couple of hours the battery percentage will also go down?

[@WHATSINSIDEFAMILY]

+Banned Daddeh not when it is turned off.

[@adamn7516]

Dan, actually phones will still discharge over time. It could take weeks but it will still discharge even when off. Being the Tesla has a secondary battery that maintains the system the system when the car is off I would have to assume the cars main batteries have no draw when the car is off but they can still suffer from passive discharge. The big question is why the secondary battery which I suspect is just a standard car battery discharged in 4 days. Its possible that battery was at the end of its life. The car is a few years old isn't it. Most standard 12V car batteries wear out over time and lose their ability to hold a charge although I would have expected that Tesla designed a monitoring system into the Tesla to monitor the secondary batteries performance and life so I would expect that you would have had some sort of warning on the dash well advance of the incident suggesting service and replacement for that battery.

[@infinitemind5273]

if your phone is turned out, you should be able to turn it back on after a few days. what's on the car that uses that electricity is the question.

Seems like there would have been an electrical outlet somewhere in that garage. Maybe he only needed to pick up the portable charge cable and long extension cord or rent a generator from home depot for an hour. Although, guess it would not have been as interesting of a video. Who knows, maybe he let the battery run down in order to make the video and possibly get something from Tesla.

[@arnemaeschaelck5012]

486DX266 that's actually what I've been thinking. Just get yourself a charger and an extension cord. It takes a couple of hours to charge using the regular charger, but once the car is ready to go just drive home and give it a good charge.

[@jeremyhershberger3012]

True, charge the car in the parking garage, it is easy and cheap compared to calling a toe truck. If you keep a jump pack in the car then you will always prepared for this type of problem.

[@grunt98444]

Jump packs don't/can't carry enough power to charge the battery pack to move the car let alone drive it

[@eagleeyez1]

bring a gas generator, plug it in and let it charge until it runs out of gas lol. you'll then have enough power to get home or to the nearest charging station.

[@charleysturbos7320]

Very creative. But not sure if that would have enough Amps or watts or whatever these things use,haha. Someone needs a small battery that is charged already and you can just deliver it ,put it in the trunk and connect to the dead one and it could leach the good battery into the dead one like running in parallel and then it could run.

[@Antwarrior45]

This is a common problem in vintage and older petrol/diesel cars as well, the batteries eventually die if the car is left and no charge is being produced. My family collect vintage vehicles and we have to run them at least every 3 months for an extended period of time, over wise we have to jump start or the battery degrades. This also affects newer cars when left for a long period of time, only these types of cars can just be left running in a driveway to recharge the battery, and don't need to actually be driven in order to keep the charge up. The more you know...

[@condew6103]

Heck, this is a problem with laptops, tablets, and smartphones, too. Store them for a month and the battery goes dead, maybe even so dead it won't accept a charge anymore.

[@Antwarrior45]

Exactly. I don't know why Dan was so surprised by this occurring.

[@MsSomeonenew]

Yes all batteries self-discarge, however there is a gigantic difference between 1/4 of a year and 4 days. And so we are clear the LiIon batteries Tesla uses have one of the slowest self-discharges, if the car was really off it should only have 2% discharge per month, and he lost 11% in 4 days making it 38x faster then any regular discharge. Meaning they don't really turn the car off so you constantly risk fancy computers running your batteries into the ground.

You can leave a gas car parked for months, but the battery will still be drained on that gas car 😂

[@toysoldier46552]

yeah but it would not be dead in only 4 days, which is where electric cars fail unless there are charging stations and people responsible enough to leave early enough to charge their car up on the way to the airport, then would probably need a charge on the way home but it would have at least been driven home.

[@cliffm8846]

Folks, if you like peace of mind about your battery (longevity & safety), for years to come, just charge your EV between 30% - 70% (and do 90% - 100% when going for a long Road Trip). (I own Tesla S & X, and I'm an Electrical Engineer) * High temperatures kill batteries. If you go on a holiday/vacation during the summer, leave your vehicle at a low SOC (state of charge). For example, at or below 30% SOC * Cycle within a narrow SOC range. For example: 40-60% rather than 10-80%. The cathode expands and contracts in a wider SOC range, which causes it to break apart. * On that note: The lower the narrower the SOC range, the better. That means charging frequently. * Avoid charging the vehicle above 75% SOC. Above 75% side reactions start occuring that cause degradation. This also reduces the volume expansion issues mentioned * Taking all variables into account, operating between 45-70% SOC, and storage at ~30% is ideal. * Occasional high SOC and wide SOC range are okay! For example, the occasional road trip. * With good thermal management hardware and battery management software, supercharging should have minimal negative effects on cycle life But even y'all will not follow those tips. The battery will not die tomorrow. it is just that there are some small (or big) consequences later on. Have a great day...
