Prepping a Model S for long distance shipping?

My 2014 S85 is about to move all the way across the continent. It'll take about three weeks to arrive and I'm worried about phantom drain on the battery.

Is there a "shipping mode" or something that one should put a Model S into before shipping? I saw reference to Transport Mode on the forums but it sounds like that was a speed regulator thing. Or do I just charge it up to 90% and hope it gets there before phantom load wipes out the battery?
 
Charge to 95%, put on energy saving mode. My 2014 p85 parked that way when on vacation had 60% charge left after 3 weeks. Do not look up the car in the app every day, you only wake it up and it uses more energ that way.
