My car gets delivered on the 19th the same day i leave. I dont have any experience on a comfortable chargeA week is nothing. Keep it plugged in at the level you’re comfortable with.
So i just set it to limit 80% then leave it plugged in. I only have an ordinary outlet.Last year, I had a problem with Sentry Mode active when my car was plugged in while I was out of town, where it stopped the car charging until I had someone do a reboot. So when I am out of town, I turn off Sentry Mode. Of course, subsequent software updates may have fixed the problem, but watching my charge level drop fast daily while half way around the world was not pleasant.
Since then, I just set the car to 70% or 80% and leave it plugged in.
Model 3 has one of the most sophisticated battery systems in the world. The most important way to preserve the Battery is to LEAVE YOUR VEHICLE PLUGGED IN when you are not using it.
Yea i only have a normal house plug. Barely getting the car delivered tomorrow. So set my charge level at 80 and leave it plugged in...?From the manual, p. 179:
If you only have a 120V outlet for charging, I would keep it at 80-85%.

Thankyou. I was asking them if they can delay the deliver until i come back since its just a week. They said they couldnt. They need to work on that. So with the app you can have the car to stop charging even if its plugged in? So once its topped off to 80 percent i stop the charging and charge it again later...Should work just fine.
Do yourself a favor and turn off summon standby mode (or don’t turn it on - can’t remember what’s default), sentry mode at home (unless you absolutely need it), and, if in a warm climate, cabin overheat protection. No need to spend money refilling the battery to keep those functions active while you’re away.
Oh, and set the charge time for sometime during overnight hours when electricity is typically cheaper. Otherwise, the system will constantly replenish any lost charge to maintain that 80% rather than just top it off once a day.
I feel sorry for you. I also had to go away for a week right after taking delivery when all I wanted to do was go driving. As tempting as it may be, fight the urge to compulsively check the app since that wakes the car and, in turn, uses energy.

Once again, per the manual, there is NO NEED to do that! Just plug it in and leave it! Once it reaches 80%, it will use minimal electricity to keep the 12V battery charged and run the monitor systems. Sentry and Summon OFF are a good idea. Sentry will use ~5KWh (20 mi) per day.Thankyou. I was asking them if they can delay the deliver until i come back since its just a week. They said they couldnt. They need to work on that.
