 Charging cables - Terry
All batteries lose a small amount of charge when parked up, and an EV is no different. Some ancilliaries will anyway absorb power - eg: security, vehicle management, internet etc.

But it is a nonsense to suggest that an owner after a two week stay in an airport carpark will come back to a "dead" car. Normal car batteries remain charged for months unless aged and close to being defective.

If Tesla have invented and fitted batteries which go flat after a few weeks this is a likely commercial embarrasment.

Just more anti-EV rumour mongering!
