HEY TESLA READ THIS, software update needed, battery drain usage on sentry mode is ridiculous!

[LuvOrH8]

Ok I know many of you know this and have seen this brought up, but really hoping some Tesla software engineer is monitoring these posts and reads this. A software fix is needed to manage the battery usage a lot better. I am consuming anywhere from 14-17 kw/h in a 24 hour period just sitting in my quiet driveway on a cul da sac with Sentry mode on, any overheat cab protection is off! Here are the facts:

I have a Model Y and Cyber, both parked side by side in my driveway, both charge to 80% daily. Yesterday my Model Y charged to 80% by 3am. The Cybertruck charged to 80% by 8am. So the Cybertruck was charged 5 hours more recently than the Y.

I drove the Model Y down the street to Home Depot and back about 3 miles. Cybertruck stayed parked all day. The Model Y with driving it and parking it in driveway next to cybertruck with Sentry on, it went from 80% to 76% by about 7pm.

The Cybertruck with a larger battery, not driven anywhere went from 80% to 74% by the same 7pm. That is just madness.

It lost 6% of a 123KW battery or 7.38KW/h in a total of 11 hours! 7.38/ 11 hours= .6709 kw/h hourly burn rate while parked. That would amount to 16.10 kw/h burn rate in a 24 hour period!!! Just sitting in my driveway with no driving, no overheat cabin protection on.

The Y with a 81kw/h battery lost 4% or 3.24kw/h with being driven in a longer 16 hours period. 3.24/ 16 hours = a burn rate of .2025 kw/h per hour or 4.86 kw/h in a 24 hour period. Again that is with a short 3 mile drive, so reality is the burn rate is even lower.

How is it the kw/h burn rate with sentry on the Cybertruck is well over triple the battery usage of that of the Model Y? That’s a lot of waste. Please fix.

Tesla Sentry Mode improvements are coming, aiming to solve battery drain

Unfortunately the guy that committed to work on this has left the company.

According to Tessie, my phantom drain runs from 3-6% with Sentry turned off while at home.

SAME. The guys on reddit thought I was crazy saying my CT was losing 2-3 percent per day. My model Y loses 2-3 percent PER WEEK, comparatively.

Shoot I wish it was 2-3% a day. More like 8-10% for me. Ridiculous.

I too am losing charge quite a bit. My phone connects anytime I am near. And in my garage I walk near often.

Fsd data is uploading at night and draining battery, consider yourselves the e-Jesus of Tesla.

My router says the Cybertruck is uploading about a metric shit-ton of data.

Oh? I'm curious ? what is the metric of this shit-ton of data? That's interesting.

The power usage screen should have an entry for power used communicating with the mothership (downloading firmware, uploading driving video, etc). If you have a slow internet connection the vehicle could be awake for some time. To verify parked power usage turn off Bluetooth on all phones with the Tesla app installed and turn off remote access.

Wow, if it's Metric, that's even worse

My issue is with the "mobile app" category, so far its about 3% a day with 1%ish for "standby" category. Tried a few methods, closing out the app - or having it open. Refresh background activity off/location on/off. Also removed the widget, nothing seems to be helping.

My Model S Plaid is barely draining anything while sitting next to the truck. A bit frustrating.

I’ve noticed, on my home network, my Cybertruck stays ‘awake’ much longer and more often than my M3.

I also have both TesliFi & Tessie accessing both that is causing a bit more drain.

The Cybertruck sleep mode may not be set up optimally yet?

I'm pretty sure it's uploading driving videos and driver inputs to the mothership so they can calibrate Cybertruck's FSD. In time we will see standby power drain decrease. Still the early days.
