When does the GMC Terrain battery turn off?
Car has a 10 minute system disconnect if any lights left on. That is working. When started, all interior lights checked and they were off. I had not turned off the radio, but it turns off when the door is open and turns off after 5 minutes on it’s own. It is still under the 1st year warranty.

Drove in 100+ to 21 degree weather and in pouring rain. No electrical issues at all. I’m having a hard time finding a clothes rod to fit in the rear seat area.
