Many of us are driving more and some are not. Storage becomes a question after
the car sitting a week or so. Just what should we do in a storage situation ?
Manual says keep at 50%. If I set my car for say 60% and leave it plugged in
all the time. When does charging start ? Just what is the gap for charging
drop to start up and charge ?

Why plug it in if it's being stored?
How would you keep the charge if you do not plug in ?
This may be a "Winter" question or vacation.

Years ago when I had a Tesla Roadster I kept it plugged in
all winter and set to low charge. At times when I stepped out
into garage it was charging. Why would Mach be any different ?

In the Manual is says nothing about disconnecting negative terminal.
If we are to do this then why did they cover battery in frunk?
Removing the panels will no be easy for a lot of us.
Does negative NEED to be disconnected ?
