Its a Model 3 SR+
It will be stored at a hotel near the airport while we are away so won't be pluged in
Some hotels have EV charging available; however, leaving your car plugged into a public EVSE for two weeks seems like a very inconsiderate thing to do.
You might check to see if the hotel has any outdoor 120v outlets you might be able to use. If so, you could plug in to that; the 120v outlet would be enough to power Sentry Mode. OTOH, there's a risk that somebody would unplug you or walk off with the NEMA 5-15 plug from your Mobile Connector. (The other end would be locked by the Tesla, so short of physically cutting the cable, it would probably be safe.) Also, if the cord had to cross a walkway or whatnot, that could create a trip hazard and so might not be appreciated by the hotel.
Personally, I don't think I'd want to use Sentry Mode in this situation. The cost of the electricity to run it does not make it a good financial decision, vs. the risk of vandalism, on average. When parking in an unsafe area that calculation can change, but if you're comfortable leaving your car for two weeks in the hotel lot, it's probably safe enough to do so without Sentry Mode. The videos we've all probably seen of Sentry Mode catching keying incidents and whatnot play on a weakness of human cognition known as the availability heuristic; we over-emphasize events that have been called to our attention, vs. those that have not. If people were posting and publicizing all the boring Sentry Mode videos that capture nothing but people walking by and not doing anything, we'd think differently (and more reasonably) about the risks.
