I've been down in FL for about 2 weeks now. About the whole time I keep having the same problem repeat itself. Goes something like this:

Get in the car after its sat for awhile. At least a couple hours or so - start - head out - then a mile or two later the battery drops down to zero bars. Car then has to regen the battery to about the 7/8 charge mark. Assist doesn't work while accelerating - Like I press the pedal to the floor and no assist. Needless to say the car is a f*cking slow brick during this. Car takes a couple miles to regen - I've normally arrived by then.

- Occurs daily, or multiple times a day.
- Only seems to happen by day (Heat related?)
- Battery depletes redardless of current charge level when I start out.
- I have the SG but the car gives off no codes.

I don't know where any dealers are down here. Not even sure what they'll check or tell me since I know I have no problem codes. This is getting annoying... I have to make several left lane turns and accelerating like the car is dragging 6000 lbs of steel isn't good.

Any ideas?
