Hey everyone,
I’m heading out on a 40-day trip soon and will be parking my Tesla Model Y at my uncle's place. He doesn’t have an EV charger, so the car will be sitting unplugged for the entire duration.
My plan is to hit a nearby Supercharger right before dropping it off to get it to 70%. I am also planning to:
• Turn Sentry Mode OFF.
• Turn Cabin Overheat Protection OFF.
• Avoid checking the Tesla app (to keep the car in "deep sleep").
Based on your experience, will 70% be enough to last 40 days without the battery dropping to a dangerous level?
A few specific questions:
Is 70% the right "sweet spot," or should I go higher/lower for long-term storage?
Are there any other hidden settings I should disable to minimize phantom drain?
Has anyone left their Y for over a month? What was your % drop?
I'd appreciate any insights or suggestions to make sure I don't come back to a bricked battery!
