Y 4680 charge settings for l/t storage

[KraftY2023]

2023 TX built MY SR. We will be traveling for a month and wondering how to set charging for battery health. It will be in a heated garage connected to wall charger. I read somewhere that 50% is optimal?

50% is correct.

Set Sentry Mode to be Off at your Home location. When Sentry mode is active the Tesla Model Y remains in Standby mode and consumes 7% of the battery over 24 hours. That is ~5.5kWh every 24 hours; over a month 170 kWh (That is what I normally use in a month of driving.) With Sentry mode Off the Tesla Model Y will enter Sleep mode. Energy consumption in Sleep mode is ~1/10th as much as when in Standby mode.

Another option would be to park the Tesla Model Y, Sentry mode Off, and leave the battery at 60% state of charge. The battery drain when parked this way will be just 1% per week. The reason is that this protects your Tesla vehicle from potentially being damaged by close by ground lightning strikes while plugged in. (The risk of this happening is low but the potential damage to the Tesla vehicle's electrical systems is high. You decide.)
