    As you might know, if you don't charge your sf90 for a few weeks, it can cause damage to the car and cost $10-20k to get it fixed. Now my problem is that I don't know if there's a power outage or the charger actually breaks. Is there a smart way to solve this by getting an alert?

    If the power is still on in your house, it’s probably not a power outage.

    In other words you are no where near wear the car is parked. Otherwise, power outages are easy to see and or follow so since you are lost for 3 weeks you'll have to ask others if they knew of any outages. I put a very low probability on it being outages.

    You can also sync your car to the My Ferrari app. It shows and battery status for the SF90. It’ll say “maintaining” if it’s being charged and/or maintaining a charge. If it doesn’t say that, you can assume it’s either unplugged or not charging properly.

    Frequently check your panel breaker to ensure it’s not tripped.

    Thanks folks. But in the garage I have different fuses which is pretty common, and expected. If the fuse goes off for just the garage, then you have no idea it happens. Not sure about you but in the Nordics we are off road for 6 months and it's not like you go in every week to check on the cars.

    I have the Ferrari app, and my cars shows up, but can't see them being connected live to the app? How do you do that?

    Wow found the setting now to get live data from the car through the app. Had no idea. But that option to enable Ferrari connect is only available for my sf90 spider 23, not for my sf90 Stradale 21. Was this introduced later?

    Yes it was.

    Also fire up the app start the car and let it run on battery a then refresh the app by removing from the background and then relaunching it. Let the app and car then connect. Shut it off and plus the charge back on while app is open.

    Relaunch the app after it’s plugged in and everything should be live in the app after.

    Is it possible to get a wi-fi enabled power outlet and run the car tender from here? You need to make sure the tender will work with the outlet, as Ive heard the tenders can be sensitive. Another idea, along a similar line, is get some kind of device that can report its status and put it on the exact same power line as the tender- thus if there is power to this device, then there should also be power to the tender. The problem here is if your garage lacks any kind of data transmission via cellular or WiFi (or other?). Perhaps you could find some kind of device that works over cellular and would report its status?

    I first connected a Shelly plug in between and set up a rule that would notify me if it went offline, ie power is out. However, I realized that it's probably a big risk that the Shelly breaks and then it won't charge either, or the Shelly turns off the power and then I won't get a notification. So I skipped that. Instead I connected the Ferrari charger and the Shelly into two different sockets that are connected to the same output. That would solve the problem.
