I store my car about 3 months during the winter. Stored indoors in my garage I charged it prior to storing, removed the TeslaCam SSD and have left the car unplugged. I entered the car after every OTA update to get the info and occasionally checked the charge level on the APP.

December 19, 2019 - Charged to 80% and unplugged
February 29, 2020 - Charge level 30%
Loss of 50% over 72 days
50% of 75 kWh = 37.5 kWh
Vampire drain = 0.521 kWh/day
All in $0.12/kWh = $0.0625/day
Average garage temperature = +5C / +41F

I'll update this later in March when I take the car out of storage.
