Tesla Motors Club

I was hoping to start a thread with only tips or ideas on how to reduce battery drain while leaving your car parked for a day to a few days or longer. I personally drive 130 miles to park at an airport for a few days at a time, then drive 130 miles back. It is well within it's range unless it loses a significant amount of charge while I'm gone. Anybody have and tips/tricks/ideas since we are without "not always connected" option like the S,X apparently has. All I can think of is:

- turn off my bluetooth from inside the car so maybe it won't be searching for a signal continuously.
- select "power off" on my car after I park it at the airport. Hopefully this will shut down any running apps/programs and start the car's memory fresh.
-sign out of Tesla app to avoid waking the car while I'm gone.

-I've considered bringing an extra 12V battery with me to plug in to the socket while I'm away to minimize the Car's 12V battery usage and subsequent recharge through the transformer/rectifier and main batteries.
-I've considered finding access to fuses to pull cellular while gone.

Please post if you have any comments on these or if you have any ideas yourself. Thanks!
