Anyone left their car for a week or two yet without charging? If you have, did you see much in the way of bleed-off from the pack over that time?

That's actually kinda useful - it gives us some decent idea of what the baseline loads on the vehicle are, which I suspect are mostly consistent regardless of driving conditions... but only kinda useful because it's not very precisejason98 said:Slight off-topic although related.
Yesterday I unintentionally left the car turned ON parked near my office.
In about six hours I lost a few bars, 20 miles in range, and my average was down from around 5.0 to 3.1.
