Model 3 alarm setting for travelling by ferry

[Adopado]

And battery consumption? or is that inconsequential?

Sorry ... don't understand?

that is for sure one of my concerns - dont want to come back to a dead battery

Do you mean from the alarm being triggered? If so then: not a chance.

Does alarm going off on a long-ish ferry journey use much battery?

 

[kelvin 660]

About 0.25 kWh as the computer will be probably be running to capturethe event...

Car won't sleep either - but maybe it wouldn't with the jostling anyway?

We occasionally do the 2 day crossing to Bilbao. I can disable tilt/intrusion alarm as long as I disable sentry mode first. Once that’s done, the car goes to sleep and there’s no appreciable loss in battery during the trip.

With constant trigger (which I doubt would be the case) I would say about the same as having Sentry Mode in operation since it would be waking the car. My own ferry uses have only been for relatively short hops but lots of people take longer ferries and there has never been a post on here suggesting an issue.

Isn’t battery loss a non- issue in this instance?

• Cars that have a tilt alarm can turn it off. So no alarm/loss of battery on a ferry; or
• Cars don’t have tilt alarm, so it can’t be turned off (because it doesn’t exist), can’t set off the alarm/use any battery.

With sentry off. ‘Safety’ menu, scroll to the bottom of the screen. Turn off tilt/intrusion. If you have pets- use dog mode.

Found it - thank you for your help and thank you to everyone for their responses

Is there any data that indicates Tesla alarms are likely to go off on ferries if you just get out and lock the car normally? We took our MY across the Channel last night on a ferry in a rough sea from storm Otto, and there were no messages after the journey to suggest the alarm had triggered.

If you have the option to turn off tilt/intrusion and you don’t do it then the alarm goes off. I, ahem, know this

The easiest way to avoid alarms on shorter ferry crossings:

Turn on Dog Mode!

Keeps the motion sensor off and keeps the internal temperature stable. After use, the alarm settings automatically return to whatever they were before.

Keep Climate On should do the same without the big message saying you've left a a dog in the car.
