Share your battery drain if you left your truck still for 2+ weeks recently

[GC_EU]

I am specifically interested in cases where the cabin overheat protection and the Sentry modes were turned off.

If you can use the following format, that'd be great:

Days still:
Battery % day 1:
Battery % last day:
Avg temp:

Two weeks with sentry and overheat protection = dead battery when you return most likely.

Sentry mode alone can consume up to 5-6% a day

I swear sentry mode drains about 10 percent per day.

Will look up some stats tomorrow. I don’t have two weeks for sure but likely have a solid 4-5 days.

OP said overheat and sentry off

18 days, a bit under 80% start, currently 43%. It’s slowed to <10% loss per week with occasional peek at sentry mode cameras from the app but no cabin overheat mode. Moderate temps 60-70deg in a covered parking garage.

I’m in Phoenix and summer has not hit yet, 88-99F uncovered parking, with a 8-10 day the CT is using 19-22 miles of energy. Big hit for a 45 mile round trip day.

Sentry on, Cabin set 100F

I live in Arizona and never turn cabin overheat protection off. If you lived here you’d understand why…lol
That said, that’s not where the bulk of the drain comes from. I’ve done a fair amount of experimenting with this.
if the car is able to sleep it drains less than 3 miles a day even with cabin overheat set to 100F on. If sentry is on and the car does not sleep, it burns 12-15 miles per day.

Very similar results also in Phoenix. Realistic number if you’re parked in the sunlight

Can you schedule when Sentry is on?

 

[hemiarch]

Good question. You can turn it on and off from the app so theoretically with some fancy phone software but I don’t think it can be scheduled on the Tesla. Anyone else know if this is 100% true?

I just left mine at the airport for 10 days. I had century mode and cabin heat protection turned off. The percentage actually went up after two days from 82 to 83%. Then went down to 81% by day 10. That was in Detroit in late April and I think the temperature went up.

Are Teslas heat sensitive to warrant the use the heat cabin protection, as in required? Might just try cracking the windows. By your previous statement sentry may be the larger culprit however.

 

[hemiarch]

Sentry does seem to be hungrier. I have a fridge in the car so there is a place to put sensitive stuff but pretty much everything just cooks without cabin overheat protection. Not all cars have this but they are also not all glass like ours are.

I swear sentry mode drains about 10 percent per day.

If it is in a high traffic area it can, which is ridiculous. That is 12kw which is enough to run some HOUSES for a day, more less a few little cameras.
