    Hello!

    I didn't find anything through search but wanted to know what the collective wisdom is here about plugging in the SF90 when in the garage. I know the manual says it should always be plugged in but I've heard from some Ferrari techs that plugging it in all the time causes problems. They've advocated leaving the car off the charger at least 2 days per week. Thoughts? Thanks.

    I would go with the official line. These are very complicated cars and if anything needs addressing, it’s best to demonstrate you followed the instructions. One thing that I’ve been advised by several people who own and work on these cars is every 2 weeks or so, if possible, unplug the tender from the car and the wall, and then turn the car on, you dont need to fire the engine, just turn the electrics on. Leave the tender unplugged for a few minutes and then plug the tender into the wall and into the car. Apparently it does help if you reset the tender every few weeks.
