AFAIK it's not possible for the user to fully shut down the car (if you use the option on the screen it wakes up again as soon as you open the door to get out or lift your weight from the driver seat).Isn't the best thing to charge to about 70% and then do a full shut-down to completely turn the car off while stored?
If you leave it plugged in it won't keep using the wall power. It will charge, drain the battery a bit, charge, drain the battery a bit...

Set the charge limit to 50% and leave the car connected. It'll top up the battery every few days. This is also optimal for battery life since it'll maintain a medium SoC. Do *not* let the battery drain, that can permanently damage it.
No Tesla clearly recommends that one keep your car plugged in. This is especially important if one is away for months. This is coming from one who has had a Tesla for 8.5 years now.I'm worried about leaving my Model 3 parked for 3 months in my garage. If I leave it plugged in, won't the constant charge damage the batteries? Is it safer to leave it unplugged and let it drain the car?
To keep it from constant charging as the battery drains, you can do 4 things.
1. Disable Data Sharing
2. Make sure Sentry mode is off
3. Make sure TeslaCam is off
4. Turn off any cabin cooling.
As far as the 12volt Battery, what I did is connect a battery tender to trickle charge it and keep it topped off.
The only thing different that I did from the Statements above was that I kept the battery limit at 80% and I didn’t do any type of shutdown.
I went on vacation for 11 days and I kept the car plugged in, there were no issues.
