Model 3 discharge rate (lemmy.world)

My model 3 long range is sitting in my garage. I charged it to 80% on Thursday night and unplugged it on Friday morning. It's just been sitting since that time unplugged but undriven. It's down to 51% on Tuesday morning. Down 30% in 4 days seems kind of bad. Sentry mode is on despite me having it set to not be on at home. Still seems like a lot of energy usage for a couple of low resolution cameras. Anyone else noticed this substantial energy usage when not in use?

Sentry mode doesn’t allow the main battery to sleep and will drain it. We recently left our Y for ten days with sentry mode off, and the battery barely moved.

I don't know when I'll have another chance to test this on mine but thanks.

You’re welcome

Ok so I turned off sentry mode last night after posting my last reply.

12hrs later the battery is down 1%.

Need to make sure that sentry mode is off at home.

Sentry mode drains the battery about 1% every two hours, give or take.
