Storing a Cybertruck for months - ok to not leave plugged in?

[Merc_s55]

Wow. Thank you for all the replies. I think I have what I need. It's not that I can't leave it plugged in to 110, it's just inconvenient. Moving cars to get it out for a drive would be even worse. I have the 'critters' taken care of. I will check it once a week and when it drops to 20%, I'll dragged the cords over and bring it up. Thanks again for all the advice.
Abilisk---I have several classic/collector cars that I drive in the summer. The CT is my winter ride.

Unless you're running Sentry Mode there's no reason to check it every week. EVs are more durable than that!

Thank you Rixos. I will use 50% as the maximum. But, my question is---can I leave it unplugged and just plug it in when the charge gets low. Leaving it plugged in all the time is a pain because of where it's stored.

you can plug it in and just charge it when you need it. or you could set it to charge 1 minute a day. For example 12:00-12:01.

Thanks again. You're right Crissa. I can probably check it once a month.

Find the trend, follow the trend.
As far as I know, the batrery level updates in the app without waking the vehicle. Just don't interact with it (or it will stay on a couple minutes which isn't a big deal). Oh, but turn off cabin overheat protection just in case.

Thanks Mongo

At the end of April I will be putting my CT into my shed until December. I know it's recommended to leave it plugged in all the time, but leaving it permanently plugged in is a bit of a pain. Can I simply check it once a week and when it gets down to 20%, plug it in and take it back up to 80%? Has anyone stored their CT for months at a time? Thanks for whatever information you have.

If able to check on charge and plug as needed, why are putting in storage for 8-9 months instead of driving

It's their winter car

I was just cleaning up the last parts to dad's ghia... oh, to have a summer vehicle! Anyone want a vintage turbot mirror that needs refinishing?
