Hi everyone,
I’d really really appreciate any help here. My M3P 2020 is suddenly draining way more battery while I’m overseas on work. I charged my car to 90% before leaving 10 days ago.
I’ve lost 50% in the last 10 days I’ve been gone. Sentry mode has been off the whole time (I disabled it before leaving), as well cabin overheat protection. It is parked in an underground garage in my condo building (where it always is) with temps hovering around 50F-60F so no changes there. For reference, M3P has only about 5k miles total on it. I have not been checking the app frequently to avoid waking the car up even more. Also, my building does not allow for chargers at our parking spots yet (which is annoying). I also have never used any third party apps.
Ive done this work trip many many times over the past 4 years and lost at most 7-10% over the same 2 month period. I won’t be back until June and am worried about the car staying at a state of charge of 0 for a pro-longed period of time. At the rate it’s going, it’ll be 0% in about 8 days. I feel rather helpless so I’m wondering if anyone has any insights into what I’m dealing with here / if anyone has experienced anything similarly.
I contacted Tesla service / support but haven’t heard back yet.
Tl;dr I’m losing 5% battery a day with sentry mode turned off the entire time and have only checked the app 3 times over the past 10 days.
