Low power mode from app

[Dvldogg05]

So i am away on a trip and parked my truck at a parking lot. I didnt think id loose many miles per day but 48 hours in my down 30 miles. Ill be gone for a total of two weeks. I will not have a charge if this continues. How can I turn power save mode on?
I turned sentry mode off prior to leaving.

In the app, go to Charging, there is a Low Power Mode toggle.

In the app, it's under Charging:

Thank you.

What would my back up plan be if I have no energy left when we get back.

In my experience, low power mode is very effective, I'd be surprised if you lost more than a percent or two over several days at most.

Just make sure you don't keep checking your app for updates constantly, every time you refresh the vehicle status you wake it up and it uses energy.

It’s OK to open the app, as long as you don’t tap on the truck or mess with any of the settings.

It should show the status as “Low-Power Mode” or “Sleeping for XX Hours/Days”, if it shows “Parked” then it is awake. It should go to sleep within a few minutes.

I used Low-Power mode for a couple of weeks, and lost maybe 1% every 3 days or so.

Well now that I have low power mode on im hoping that drain is much less. Im only checking every two days quickly in, wait for the miles left to update and out.
Just in case I need to start to figure out a zero charge situation. Has me worried.

Wondering if 1% every 3 days is going to take me to zero after 10 more. I was at 85 miles left on Saturday about 3pm est when I posted this.

No, 1% every three days will not get you anywhere near zero.

Stop checking it, stop worrying and enjoy life. As you gain experience you will gain confidence that you won't suddenly run out of power.

Thanks. I only checked once. Will maybe check again end of the week. Getting to zero would be bad....right?

I don't know, it's not been a problem for me with multiple EVs over 8 years of driving all electric. I assume one would just jump start it like a gas car to get the low voltage system up and then just charge it normally with a mobile connector and wall power or another vehicle that had AC power. It's not a big deal, various Youtubers have run Cybertrucks to zero for testing purposes and then charged them back up.

Is it bad? Well, it's not something you want to deal with (so don't run it to zero). All my Tesla last a very long time if I park them and ignore them. A lot longer than my gas cars could go without needing a jump start, even if I park them at 50% charge for months.

It's pretty rare that an EV runs flat, just know you have the perfect rescue vehicle, The Cybertruck is able to charge any EV with a flat battery back up without the expense of a flatbed tow.

Alright thanks for the info.
