How much % do you lose while unplugged?

[Ru55o-Bolt]

Assuming a warm climate (10+ C degrees celcius), how much percentage do you lose by just keep your Tesla Model 3 SR+ unplugged and parked.

I am going up north in 2 weeks and I plan to keep my Tesla on the front lawn. I would super charger before of course. The location is about 100 KM away.

Thanks !

1% per day or less if you keep Sentry off, AC over heat off, and don’t wake the car up from the app.

That's nothing wow!

Hopefully the heatpump helps during cold winters although I have an indoor garage spot.

With only sentry mode on, I lose 0.5% per hour with my SR+

Are you serious? That 12% per day then.

Yea. I leave sentry mode on at work for 8hrs and lose 4%. If I was going to leave my car parked for multiple days I would not have anything turned on to make sure it went to sleep. That way you only lose about 1% per day

Ah thank you for this. 1% a day is nothing!

In June I flew to California, leaving my 2020 M3 parked in my barn, unplugged. Sentry was off. When I came home after 10 days, I had lost 2 miles of charge. Of course, that was June in January, I'm sure the loss will be considerably greater

Thanks for sharing Shelburne. That's incredible

You're welcome. But remember that Sentry was off, overheat protection was off and I never used the App to wake the car. Any of that will drain more energy from the battery. Virus permitting, I'll be making another 10 day trip to L.A. in January. I'm sure the drain on the battery will be greater then.

Quick question: When you say "I never used the App to wake the car" , you mean I cannot even open the App ?

 

[MaskedRacerX]

Yeah, we parked at the Orlando airport, Fri through Tue, had everything shut down (no Sentry, no Overheat), didn't ping the car at all via the app (until Monday evening), lost about 2%.

So about 0.5% a day.

Yes, anytime you poll the car for the status, it wakes it up, uses a little extra battery, that includes refreshing on the widget (in iOS).

It probably adds up over an extended period if you do it several times a day, like over, say, 7-10 days.

I’m definitely less than 1% a day here in the South, as long as I don’t wake her.

Here's a video of tesla M3 in extreme weather which is representative of most Northern climates

Wow! Ok thank you for sharing this

I've left our Model 3 parked unplugged for a month in our home garage in southeast FL, twice. Once I lost 21 miles, the other time 24 miles. Of course, if your car is in the hot sun or cold weather, it will lose quite a bit more.

Yeah, same. Sometimes I lose 5%-10% per day if I have cabin overheat, wifi, and sentry mode on. If I turn everything off, it's about 1% per day for me too.

Is there a a button that shuts everything off with a click of one button or do you have to manually turn off each setting? Sort of like pressing "rest mode" and your car goes into sleep.

no, there is no button like that.
