Hi, I have a M3 RWD and it’s going to be my first winter with it. I live in the Montreal area so temperature gets very low and roads are full of crap during winter time. I know what I am asking is applicable to all cars but what would you suggest about my question? Should I recover the car in...

Hi. With the new software release 2023.38.6 I instead noticed, after being away for two weeks, that my seat setting was lost the first time I drove it after my return…looks like a similar issue but on a different feature

I’ll update you next winter when here, in Canada, the temperature can drop until -30!! 😁

Hi. I kept my Model 3 plugged without charging plugged to my home wall connector level 2 set at 32 Amps with Sentry mode on for 13 hours and, in the morning, I noticed a 3% decrease on the battery level.

No other third party apps installed. Just sentry mode…

The car was plugged but I stopped the charging from the app. This way it should only use power for preconditioning at least this is what I noticed. If I leave the car outside for that amount of time (0 Celsius and sentry mode on) the drain is a bit higher (around 5%)

It was around 0 C and sentry mode on. I leave the car outside for now and that is what I noticed. I noticed also that when the scheduled pre conditioning started it took the energy from the wall connector

Finally I discovered that the home electricity, when the car is not charging, is only supplying power for pre conditioning and not the standby, like sentry mode for example. I lost 3% of battery just for idling services in 13 hours

No I am running the charger at 32Amps

ThankS for the answer!!

Hi, The car is plugged to a level 2 charger (40A) for the procedure, I guess that I just need to do some tests to see the behaviour of the doubt I described above. Thanks, M

Hi everyone, I am a new holder of a 2023 M3 (LFP battery) and I am looking for an answer that I am not able to find: If I keep the car plugged in at night BUT not charging, is the home electricity supplying power to the standby and pre-heating demand of the car? Thanks everyone for your answers?

That’s not what Tesla recommends to do though

Me too i am looking at the same info. I got the new Model 3 with LFP since a week. My daily commute is 100km and I use 12-13% of battery for each leg (considering the weather climate in Canada around 0 deg Celsius). I have recharged to 100% once as of today. I have a level 2 charger at home and...
