    My neighbor's son has a new Portofino which he parks in my neighbor's parking space in our garage but lives out of town so the car sits idle for long stretches of time. Being a condo, no trickle chargers are allowed (ridiculous, I know but that's condo living for you) so I was wondering if it's OK to install a battery cut-off knob to preserve the battery's charge or will this cause problems with all the electronics?

    The owners manual suggests there is a cut-off switch (p174) but there's a selection of procedures to be followed both before and after use

    Recommend reading owner manual and talking with dealer service advisor. I've never stored my 2016 Cali T that way, and it is similar to the Porto.
