Going on a vacation and wondering what battery I can expect to come back to after sitting outdoors for 12 days, not plugged in with temps averaging -10C/14F.

Got a 2024 standard range XLT. Likely getting parked with about 65% charge. Don’t want to come home to a dead truck.
Thanks

No change. Don't check it with the app all the time, that drains the 12v. Just let it sit.

Fly from Indy. Park in the garage and charge for free while you’re away.

Haha. Love the tip but may be counterproductive coming from Toronto! lol. Always love a free charge tip though! 🙌

You may find that the amount of power is reduced until you drive a bit (left side of range dial) but the percent of charge likely won’t drop. I was parked at an airport for two weeks and still had 88% for range but went from 100 to 73% on power level. Drove home (20 miles) and was back at 100 when I started up again half hour later.

I park at the airport for weeks regularly. Never have I had the SOC drop.
The closest to a drop was coming home in last year's cold snap. It was a few percent low, but not from vampire drainage.
