2018 Model X 100D battery consumption while parked in garage

[jamatx]

We bought a 2018 P3 a few years ago and just recently bought a 2018 X 100D with 17k miles. Our P3, with 58k miles, seems to hold a charge much longer while parked in the garage. Two days ago, we charged the X up to 74% and it stayed parked in the garage, this morning it was at 64%. Maybe we need to tweak some settings and/or run a diagnostic on the batteries? Any suggestions? Thanks in advance!

I use TeslaFi to track the rate of phantom drain on our MX. It has been parked since we went on vacation. It typically loses about 1% a day, but one day it lost 7%. Our MX is parked just outside our garage.

As a test, I put a WiFi mesh node in the garage as I found the car was struggling to stay connected even when just in front of the garage. I did this just before our trip and it seems to be helping.

Make sure sentry mode is disabled when parked at home. I'm guessing cabin overheat protection isn't a problem at this time of year, but I leave it off as well.

Same. I'm out of town and saw a 5% drop. Maybe the 12v battery kicking on to charge or something? Otherwise it's 1%/day.

I experience the same problem with my 2018 X 100D. Charged it to 90% (turned to be 89%) then unplugged it and let the car parked for 24 hours. Resulting in only 79% left. Which is far too much. I even had Sentry and Summon switched off and of course no pre heating or whatever.

If your vehicle is in a garage, could you not have left it plugged in? All Tesla vehicles should always be plugged in whenever reasonably possible.

is this an older tesla problem? With my 2022 model x i like 1% or less per week if the car is parked and not pluged in, as long as sentry mode and cabin over heat is turn off and i dont open the app to check on the car to wake up the car.

Turns out it was sentry mode. Batteries are holding a charge now.

glad you fond the issue. IF you really only lost 10% for being parked for2 days that actually really good. With my 2022 model x i can almost lose 10% of battery park per day with sentry mode on
