    I live in South florida in the winter but go up north for 5 months.
    Wasn’t planning on taking my California with me.
    I live in a high rise condo that has secure parking and am able to put on charger.
    My question is about the summer heat. Is here a chance of interior damage and how would I avoid it
    Thanks

    I live in South Florida too and found out the hard way about sticky buttons. I suspect the sticky buttons problem seems to materialize no matter what, but I think the Florida summer heat expedites the deterioration.... :-(

    Do you know the average temp in your parking garage. The suns the worst enemy, but sustained higher temps can lead to degradation of the interior. Are there any climate controlled storage facilities near by you could keep the car during the summer?

    If you're near enough to salt water, salt air spray might be a bigger problem.

    I would definitely put a desiccant in the car.
