Leaving a Tesla at 0% charge.
My car has been with Tesla service for a couple weeks now (an observation that turned into a major issue, and a dying 12v battery).
Tesla app has it in service mode, but good old TeslaMate is still tracking it and I noticed a couple days ago it was starting to lose charge very quickly. It’s sitting with the windows open, and presumably the key, making it stay online continuously.
Cut to yesterday and it was at 0%.
I’m curious what the long term effects are going to be, if any, on the battery pack?
EDIT: Was able to get the car plugged in so shouldn’t be a big issue, I hope.

I’d give the service center a call just to make sure they plug it in. Batteries generally aren’t happy staying at a low SoC and recovering a car from low battery is significantly easier than recovering a car with completely dead battery.
😂 call the service center. That’s a good one.
It would be quicker to drive over.
They usually respond very quickly in the app. Like under an hour
They do usually, however the latest update to the app kind of borked that option as while in service there is no way to message the SC.
In the end they responded to a text I sent over the weekend so it’s all good and the car is currently charging.
