FWIW I have not plugged my car in during the whole crazy 6 months of fiddling with cars that ended up with this wonderful OrBit program!
The process of just flashing a config file over with Orbit is so quick that plugging in shouldn’t really be necessary, but if I was doing some kind a software update with VIDA I’d plug in.
Currently my process is turn on the vehicle (one turn) which will let the software connect to the vehicle and do diagnostics/read the config. At this point it’s not using as much power as when it’s active, which I guess conserves power while I’m poking around the options since I’m unfamiliar with them.
Once I’ve selected the changes I’m making I flip the vehicle into active mode (turn and hold) which powers up all the systems, then I’ll do the flash.
