Vampire Drain

[Techy Golfer]

Seeing about 3 miles every 6 hours which is quite a bit more than my 2018 3 had at any

I’ve turned off sentry, removed the widget from my phone, and am running software version 2024.14.11.

Is everyone seeing the same?
Any other recommendations on things to try to decrease the drain?

That a pretty close to what I see on mine, about 2% over 12 hours. Sentry off and cabin overheat off. On the same 14.11.

Same here. I am losing 5% - 6% a day (!!). I also hear the thunking contactor noise very frequently (approx 30 min intervals).

Exactly, my app never shows asleep for more than 30 minutes or so.

What is making that noise

I've noticed a 5% drop each day. I have the charger set to charge off hours at 80%. It gets down to 75% each day.
Turned off Sentry mode while it's parked at home.
Cabin overheat is also off. What Gives??!

Tessie app estimated my drain at 3-5%
I literally spend more recharging drain than mileage on some days.

Yeah I observed the same thing. 4-5% drain while the car is parked overnight with Sentry off.

Same here. And it will vampire the battery on an iPhone as well.
I am going to disco app overnight. I think it’s constantly communicating with phone app.

I was at 8-10% drain everyday with sentry off. After 2024.14.11 I am now at about 4-5% drain. I will take the big improvement but they still have a ways to go, I would like to see it get to the 1-2% range.

It should be well below 1% for sure. Other Tesla's with Sentry Mode off, have almost 0%. My S & Y can sit for days with no loss unlike the Cybertruck.

I've not used my Cybertruck in 3 days, but my router says it's uploading furiously:

I don’t think I noticed that in my Cybertruck but I will test tonight. I remember telling myself based on one night that the miles did not change at all and another during a power outage that I used the plugs for the refrigerator and only lost like 2% for the night.

Here are my steps when I'm home:

- No Sentry Mode.
- Cabin Protection Off.
- Safety/Power Off.
- Wifi Off.
- Bluetooth Off.
- Tesla App Off.

Still 2 - 3% lost overnight.

I don't use Wifi at home or work, just hot spot from my iPhone when needed. My CT is still talking to Tesla (LTE icon on top right corner) and even downloading software update by itself when I keep ignoring the pop-up reminder to connect to Wifi to download new update. I guess that's the reason for phantom drain.
