Can't you just plug in the car, set to 80% (50% probably better), while gone for a long time?
Seems like Tesla has a major design flaw if sitting for 6 weeks will trash the expensive main HV battery.

Hard to believe though, unless there was mechanical damage or moisture ingress. On Thu, Aug 14, 2025 at 9:21?AM Peri Hartman via EV <[email protected]> wrote: > It may have helped.
