Battery draining in Garage Storage

[RCF180]

2022 Model 3 with LFP battery pack in USA parked indoor garage. Noticed my battery at 61% and 7 days later when I pickup the car, was now at 43%! That is a big drop don't know why. Climate control is turn off. Sentry mode is on. Would having the Telsa card store inside the car affect battery?

...Sentry mode is on...

That eats up a lot of energy!!!!

Would having the Telsa card store inside the car affect battery?

Not likely because the card has a very short range.

Fob does because it does have a good range.

Sentry mode uses 20-40 miles of range a day (vs 1-4 miles a day without using it) so dont use it if you dont want that much battery drain. That has nothing to do with where the car was stored, and everything to do with the fact you turned sentry on.

Sentry mode keeps the car from sleeping because it's monitoring the car and the cameras need the battery juice.

Sentry uses 300w/hr roughly.

I turn off Sentry Mode and that fix the drainage issue. It really a major drainage.
