Why doesn't my Tesla go to sleep?

[Arizona Willie]

I get message after message that my Tesla " is trying to sleep " / " Tesla did not go to sleep " /
etc. etc.

Finally after a few hours it goes to sleep.

What is keeping it from sleeping?

fairly certain that the tesla app doesnt specifically tell you "car is trying to sleep" so, start by looking at whatever you are using thats telling you that.

Sounds like a 3rd party app.

The car sleeps when it feels like it. There is no way to put it to sleep. It may stay awake to download a firmware update, upload data to Tesla, monitor the car, or some other mysterious reason.

However, you can keep it from sleeping by using certain features or bugging it with data-seeking pings from 3rd party apps.

TeslaFi tries to allow sleep by suspending data collection for a few minutes. Apps can check on sleep status without waking the car, so once the car does start to sleep the app can see that and not wake it up. The downside is if you do something interesting while TeslaFi has suspended data collection it won't be logged until TeslaFi resumes collection.

Sounds like you are using something like TeslaFi. Turn off the notifications in your settings or else you will be constantly pestered. It's not unusual for the Tesla to stay awake even after apps stop polling it for extended periods of time.

If you are using Dashcam it may continue to run after you park the car. You can manually stop it by pressing on the icon until the red dot disappears.

Whatever is giving you that message is keeping the car from sleeping. Get rid of it. You do not need any third party apps communicating with your Tesla. The car is perfectly functional as it is.

=========
Yes I do use Teslafi.
Should I turn off notifications in teslafi or in the car? I will turn off in tesla fi immediately.

Check the first 3 boxes in sleep settings in Teslafi at the defaults. If you don’t have any other apps like Stats active your car will sleep like a baby.

Looks like hc is indicating do it in TeslaFI settings. You don't want to turn it off in the car unless you are ok with not communicating with the car at all in your app. Most everyone leaves it on in the car.

Problem solved.
Turning off stuff in Tesla Fi did the trick.

Turn off Data Sharing also.

Have you spilled any coffee in it, by any chance? It might be the caffeine.

Problem has been solved. Tesla Fi app is the culprit ( well some settings in there otherwise great app ).

FYI, you probably previously changed some of the settings away from the default because the default settings work fine. Glad to hear you got it corrected.
