I'll chime in as I'm in pretty much the same boat as @Nightcorey . I drive a Model 3 LR. I have a 9 kilometer drive to work and I live in an apartment building. My parking garage *does* have third-party charging stations (Flo) in it but you have to pay to use them. So I don't charge every day and I don't/can't leave my car plugged in al the time.
I don't drive much outside of my commute to/from work so my weekly mileage is low. I usually wait until my SoC is in the mid-50% range and then charge to 80%. With Sentry mode turned off, I find I have to charge about once every 6 days or so. I found that the 5%(ish) penalty for leaving Sentry mode active (even with home and work disabled) just a little too high for my comfort so I leave it disabled and just enable it when I feel like I need to.
Just an example to show that it _is_ doable. Enjoy your new Tesla!
