Idle Discharge while parked

Hey Guys,

This has come up in discussion in the past.

@SandeepRao

The standby reduction rate of the range is around 8 -12 Km per day .

Please have a look at the quoted response below.

Exactly the reason why the 450 has a vacation mode built into it. With this feature you can turn your vehicle off with a tap on the dashboard. Once in this mode, the self discharge is substantially slower and the charge should last over a month. To disengage the vacation mode, you can simply put the key in, and the vehicle will turn back on.

This option to handle discharge while stationary should be default in idle times.When vehicle is stationary we should be selecting any options that will add user complexity. Technical users can understand this , when it reaches niche users they don’t truly get this and this need lot of training to use the vehicle.

I can completely understand your thoughts on this. However, there are a lot of features that are active on the vehicle even when the key is turned off. The vehicle is always in standby. And if we were to completely shut the vehicle off when the key is removed, access to those parameters will get cut off. Add to that, the vehicle will need to initialize and boot up every time the key is used, which will take a longer than expected time to start up. Something that can be an annoyance if someone is using the vehicle on a day to day basis for city commute(which is the predominant use case for the vehicle).
