My 2020 SR/S will not charge when in Storage Mode. My bike has firmware version 18 in the MBB and BMS, and the temperature is in the mid 40s. The current SoC is 47%. When I plug in the charger the charging display comes up on the dash, but the display shows 0 Time Left, 0 A Current, and 0 kW Power. The bike shuts down after a minute or so as if charging is complete. And with the Charge Target set to 80% before entering the Storage Mode, the target doesn't automatically decrease to 60%. The only way I can charge is to exit the Storage Mode. Has anyone else seen anything similar?
This is just a thought, but since the Storage Mode is new with firmware version 18, I suspect the firmware wasn't properly tested before release (surprise surprise).

I cannot really speak for Zero, but with my Tesla, I can tell you some updates work great on 99% of the cars that get it. But I have been in the 1% three times now.
One time my free trial auto-pilot didn't work and another time my backup camera did not work right after an update. Another time my screen would stay blank when I got it the car (fixed with a reboot each time I got in the car). Got the same updates again and still had the same problems. Others with the exact same model did NOT have these issues. But after the next update, all the problems I had were gone each time.
Now it's been many months since I have had any issue with any update. The good news is even if there is an update that doesn't work 100% correct on every vehicle, the odds are the next Tesla update will be around a week away. Seems every time I check it there is another update waiting.
I assume your bug will be fixed on the next update. Perhaps a lot faster if there are a lot of people with the same bug to complain about it.

This is not how storage mode works. Storage mode tries to discharge the bike to 60%, lets it naturally fall to 30%, and then charges back to 60%. There is currently no configuration of this available.
In storage mode, the bike will not charge, and I believe the charge target is not configurable/set using the same charge target as users edit.
So it sounds like the feature is working exactly as I have been told. If you want to charge to 80%, you'll have to take it out of storage mode.

It may be working as you have been told, but not quite like the Owner's Manual describes.
From the Owner's Manual: "Check the SoC at least monthly and charge it back up to 60% if it has dropped below 30%."
Nothing said about it having to be 30% or less before it can charge or not charging at all in storage mode. Zero needs to do a better job of writing their manuals.

Understandable, the feature was added recently, what's in the manual are the general storage guidelines. They should update the manual soon.
