This was back in early Feb. and it was parked in a covered parking structure at LGB airport. If I'm not mistaken, it was cold and rainy (by SoCal standards) but not extreme cold/hot by any stretch. I didn't even set the cabin protection temp so unless it's just my CT, sentry mode is quite a drain on the battery.
How many events? I wonder if the noise level kept it awake more than it should've been.

When parked in a garage with traffic, my M3 seems to lose 5-7% per day. When I went on a backpacking trip for 12 days over the summer, I disabled it (and cabin overheat protection) and came back with my car having lost only 1% after 12 days.
how do i turn off cabin overheat?

I don’t have cabin overheat as an option on my CT yet. But… should be in your climate controls.

Try searching the manual. That's what I just did for you and found

Cabin Overheat Protection
Cabin Overheat Protection prevents the cabin from getting too hot in scorching ambient conditions. While not necessary to activate whenever you leave Cybertruck, the climate control system can reduce and maintain the temperature of your vehicle’s cabin. This can prevent the cabin from getting too hot after leaving it parked in the sun, making the vehicle more comfortable when you return. Cabin Overheat Protection may take up to 15 minutes to enable once you exit the vehicle. This feature is intended for passenger comfort and has no impact on the reliability of your vehicle's components.
To turn on, touch Controls > Safety > Cabin Overheat Protection and choose:
  • On: The air conditioning operates when the cabin temperature exceeds 105° F (40° C), or the selected temperature on the touchscreen or mobile app. Customizing temperatures may require the most recent version of the mobile app.
  • Off: Disables Cabin Overheat Protection.

But I didn't think that the Cybertruck had it yet.

Cybertruck uses around 5% over night. So annoying. Anyone else experience high electricity uses at night?

I've lost less than 4% over 3 days. I'm at home so Sentry is off.
