So I went to sleep around 11pm with 181 miles and sentry off, when I woke up at 7am I was down to 175. Is this normal? It seems like a pretty decent drain.
With Sentry mode on, you can loose 2 to 4 miles per hour. But with it off, no. Your car should have gone in to deep sleep and there should have been very little if any drain. That is unless your car was up/downloading data. There are some updates floating about. seems excessive to me though.
You'd mentioned before that you were uncomfortable with 3rd. party connectivity to your car. That is completely understandable but Tesla's API is done very well. I recommend that you consider trying TeslaFi.com. They have a free trial. You can get a LOT of information about what your car is doing from it. TeslaFi never gets your Tesla password. Telsa gets the password and then passes a token to TeslaFi that says they are allowed to get telemetry. That way if you change your password, all coms are severed.
