Had a chance to test out the low power mode - I was out for a few days from home so it was perfect chance to test this out.

Normally, even with sentry off and my truck being in garage, I was generally losing around 1% overnight.

This time, with sentry off, truck unlocked, in garage and low power mode enabled over the course of four and half days - no loss at all.

I also avoided looking at the tesla app, I initially checked to make sure it said low power mode and then when I got home I checked to see it was still on. When I left, the truck was at 79% and came back to the same.

I think this is a huge success. 😃

I was wondering just how good 'low power' mode is. Thanks.

Definitely noticing a difference in phantom drainage with low power mode on, but still losing a couple miles overnight. I'll try leaving it unlocked at home.

It just toggles off all the extra things like cabin overheat and sentry. I usually have all of that off anyways at home so it makes no difference for me. I guess if someone uses all the features then they will notice.

Even with those off, mine still loses 1% overnight. Things like auto lock/unlock, phone detection, data uploads, updates checking and so on….all get turned off.
