Depends whether it's summer or winter. Even location matters. For instance, if you happen to be on the international space station...

2 months, 7 days, 14 hours, 9 minutes and 43 seconds. Is this the answer you are looking for? 🙄🇺🇸😆 (Do we even have this answer for any models not produced yet? Ha)

Yep. And IRCC, when we left our Model 3 at the airport in June a few years ago and did not think to turn those off, the daily drain was something like ~15 miles per day. So it will vary by climate and personal circumstances. Your Mileage May Vary!
Initially I forgot to turn them off and checked the morning after to a 20-mile loss. Luckily they can be turned off in the app. Thereafter I checked every morning as a sanity check.

Note that checking the car status with the app could potentially "wake" the car if only briefly.

Checking daily is fine, checking hourly will increase the drain lol.

There are also 3rd-party apps ("Teslafi" etc.) that poll the car and collect usage data. These can prevent the vehicle from sleeping although that is generally considered a bug when it happens.

I have the CT. I have sentry, heater, ac turned off. Its in my garage connected to charger. I see 10% drain daily. What should I do to stop this ghost drain? I keep at 80%. Drive daily to about 50% the back on charger in garage. charge at night only after 9pm

Wow, if I turn off sentry and hvac on my model Y there is almost no drain. I hope this gets figured out.

I haven't driven my CT in over 3 years and the battery charge is exactly the same as it was then. 0% loss!

:)
You say you have had your Cybertruck for 3 years already? Are you a time traveler???!!!

We've taken 2 long duration trips of 10+ days and left our Tesla Model 3 LR parked and plugged in at home.
No issue

Right. I was only checking once a day to check battery drain, and then once every other day for the remainder of the trip.

Going to be hard earlier on. They are downloading a s ton of data. Less sleeping. Just like 3 launch.

In six months it will sleep better. So will I.

You live in a cold climate? That might be part of your ghost drain?
