Is SoC accurate even if sleeping?

[Dvldogg05]

As you can see, the truck is asleep. Showing 80 miles. I haven't checked it in 5 days it as showed right before it updated to 8 hours. Is this current or to get current miles I'd have to wake it up basically.

That is the battery as of 8 hours ago. Thats my best guess.

Even when asleep, it is not “off”. It is still monitoring vital systems like the pack, occasionally topping off the MV battery, etc.

So, yes, the SoC should be accurate, even if the truck is sleeping.

Awesome ty. Can relax now the rest of my vacation

It will also enter a deep sleep after a certain SoC level.

Great. Thank you

Would also recommend enabling low power mode remotely if you have not already

Yep that was my first task after two days I lost almost 30 miles lol. On a two weel vacation I would have been zero

 

[hemiarch]

Should be good

Not current, the SOC graphic goes grey when the data is stale. If you tap the vehicle image to wake it, you'll get the current state.

So there is a chance it is less than 80 at this point?

Yep, but could also be higher if the pack is warmer

It's like a souffle in the oven, checking it isn't going to help...

What does “SoC” mean?

State of charge

Theoretically, the vehicle will enter a self-imposed low-power state when the SoC drops below 20%. High-drain functions like Sentry Mode will be disabled. Not sure if that will also handle an errant stuck process, or code defect that is consuming CPU, but that should be rare.

Below about 2%, it will stop topping-off the 48V MV battery, and when that dies you'll need to "break in" and jump-start it. The contactors on the main HV pack will remain open, so no further drain will be possible. Going to 0% SoC is not harmful, but dropping to zero volts will likely destroy the pack (and your wallet, hahahaha). Fortunately, such a pack can keep a charge for weeks/months, just like a rechargeable AA cell sitting in a drawer.
