How Gravity handle long parking times?

[VeryPowerful]

I bet new owners are driving their Gravities (?) almost every day so it might be hard to get answer to that question now. But I wonder how does Gravity handle being parked and unused for 2 weeks or more. I work from home and it's common for me to not use my car for 2 weeks. I know that some EVs don't handle this well. I've read about Volvo EX90 cases with drained 12V batteries after being parked at airport garage or left plugged to a charger for a multiple days (probably some hardware issue).

I also tried looking how Lucid Airs handle long parking times, but I found nothing on Google. I didn't find anyone complaining so I guess it good?

Thanks @BrianBigNFun - I have the same question. I'll be parking at Dulles Airport for 7 days, first week of February. It will obviously be cold.
I'm not aware of anything to turn off (unlike our Tesla). Does anyone else here have experience leaving the Gravity unplugged for 7 days in the cold?

Thanks!

I left mine covered in snow for about 10 days and noticed just minimum drain, no more than 3%. Just make sure to not wake it up with the app when parked.

I left our Gravity at JFK for 5 days, very cold temps (10 degs windchill). Barely any drain - like 2-3% max. I also opened the app a few times to check the live view around the car.

My Air Touring has been sitting unused since Dec 31, so exactly 2weeks.

The first week it sat in 20-25°F and lost about 10% SoC (39-29%)

Then it got towed to a Lucid Service center where it's been at about 74°F for the 2nd week, and it's basically dropped accurate 10%. I will note that the car may have been opened repeatedly and turned on by service during this 2nd week as they've been troubleshooting and working in it. I'm not sure.

But it sure seems like it's losing a solid 10% per week.

Yes! That's such a natural tendency, to check on the vehicle to see how much charge has been lost. Just doing that causes the vehicle to wake up and burn some energy. Trust it - let it sleep and you'll have more battery when you return.

But...but...but...my OCD has to disagree

yes! you, @BrianBigNFun, me and most of the people on this forum!!

My Gravity has been sitting in the cold of NYC for 11 days and has lost 3%. And, yes, I've been checking . . .

That's great to hear. Thanks @FlatbushBoy
My Gravity spent it's first night outdoors last night, in Richmond, VA. Temps were below 30. It didn't drop a single percentage point.
Stayed at 58% from our arrival at 6pm until departure at 1pm the next day. Not a big test but still encouraging.

Posters on this forum also tout the benefits of having your battery resting for longer periods of time somewhere between 35-55% SoC to minimize degradation

so...wanted to dredge this up as I will be driving to Newark airport from the Philly burbs in March and will have long term parking for a week and again in September for 16 days (but PHL)

any tips on what to put the settings at to lower drain?

Can report I had no drain whatsoever for about a week in the 40 degree weather - I even looked at the app 3 times lol
