How often should you drive a car? (Edit: To prevent a dead battery or deterioration from disuse)

That's pretty normal, mine is down to around there after two weeks or so.
I’d love to be where you are. Skier and flew out on Friday March 13th. One day at Deer Valley on the 14th and everything got shut down.

Flew back on Monday. 4000 miles to ski one day.

Ouch, that really sucks that covid interrupted everything for you. But yes, I love living here for that reason. I like to snowboard often at the Cottonwood resorts. Deer Valley is great too though!

Same here, parked for a few weeks. Moved the chargers ground off the battery terminal, to the body.

Battery was down 75%, 4 hours later full load. And the car is in deep sleep, so says Fordpass. @ 75%, battery drain.... the Mustang must snore when it sleeps :question:

Been to them too. Awesome area I have seriously considering relocating there. It’s so beautiful. Bike in the back of the truck and Mustang on a trailer...

I actually bought my truck in Denver. It was a year old with 2700 miles on it. Company leased it and didn’t use it and turned it in. Flew out and drove it back. Price was just too good to pass up.
