Battery Drain ?’s

[CyberGus]

Maybe with the older Teslas but new models should not be plugged in all the time. I charge mine once it drains to 20% (once a week). Battery memory.

“Tesla strongly recommends leaving Cybertruck plugged in when not in use. This maintains the Battery at the optimum level of charge.”

Lithium batteries do not have “memory”. Higher depth-of-discharge is associated with increased degradation, so it’s best to charge frequently.

Testing this out. Charged to 98% Wednesday evening. Currently at 88%. Roughly 2-2.5% per day. Sentry and Climate off.

I’m getting about 1% drain every 3-4 hours while parked.
- Sentry Mode OFF
- Cabin Overheat OFF

Any other setting that I can adjust to reduce the drain while parked?

Thanks!

I was getting this same thing also. However, since the update was pushed to my truck the drain has been significantly less. I am away from home at a hotel and have sentry mode on and I lost about 4 percent overnight.

Didn't lose any percentage overnight. Slept better than I did lol

My truck is my first Tesla. Watching this forum I've learned that I'm a total newbie about the finer points of operating and dealing with Tesla's vehicles. So, consider the source regarding this advice...

I was seeing the same "vampire" drain as many on this thread and I had never had any indication of my truck idling or being asleep. Then I read this page after signing up for a trial of the Tessie app and I followed most of its advice.

Now my truck is asleep about half the time overnight and not using much power when it is awake and idling. It has been idling for the last 11 hours and 10 minutes; during that time it's used 1.4 kWh and the battery percentage has gone down 1%.

Update… stopped leaving the Tesla app open on my phone and this made a significant difference in battery drain on the truck.
