How Much Did Tesla Battery Drain When Left Unplugged for 32 Days?

Hey, it's a joy, most of you probably don't know this, but I have dual citizenship in Taiwan and I go back there once a year. This year I'm going back there for a whole month because I have to quarantine for two weeks and then. I'll be free for two weeks, so what that means is that I'm going to leave my car completely unattended and

unplugged

for I think 32

days

total and I want to document how

much

the

battery

will

drain

while I'm away, so let's do a little. Today's recording is on Sunday, November 14, 2021 at almost two in the afternoon and I have 73 percent of the

battery

left

, so this is a starting point that we will continue with the battery consumption now, a tip that I always give to the owners of the new testament. is that

when

you have to leave your car parked and you can't plug it in, let's say if you have to leave it at the airport, I won't repeat it, don't open the Tesla app on your phone

when

you're away because when you do that it's going to wake up the car and the car is going to use up a lot more battery so what I do is on this trip I am not going to touch my Tesla app at all after I leave this car and the only time I will interact with it. my car and the app is when I have a software download so I have beta fsd ​​so whenever they release a new version in the next 30

days

or so I'll just let my car run the update and it doesn't.

I'm going to

drain

my battery a lot when I do that instead of constantly checking your car when you're away, so keep that in mind. Another question I would like to answer or address is: do I have cabin overheat protection activated? Well, the answer. to that yes, I have it on and I leave it on when I'm out and people would ask well, doesn't that use up more battery while you're out? Not really, if you tap this little info icon, it actually tells you. that cabin overheat protection is only active up to 12 hours after you leave, so from now until 2 in the morning, which is when this cabin overheat protection will be active on this car, but beyond that the car would simply go to sleep and the cabin overheat protection would not be activated because you would not be using this car in the next 12 hours, so in case you are wondering whether to leave the protection option activated Against cabin overheating it will cause the battery to drain

much

more, the answer is no, it will do it automatically.

Turn it off after 12 hours of your car idling. Oh, there's actually something I need to disconnect from my car and it's just for my car because it's a customization that I did and it's these cool LED strip lights that I installed. You can probably see a little bit that it's on, so to avoid unnecessary battery drain, I'm going to completely unplug it from my car to conserve more battery. Now I am ready to leave my car all alone for the next month and continue with my journey and I will come back to you a little later, hey, it's joy, today is December 16, 2021 around 7 15 in the afternoon.

I returned from my month-long trip to Taiwan. I haven't touched my car in over a month, I think 32 days and also this car has been

unplugged

for so long so I literally got in my car and let's see what the state of charge of my battery is so I have

left

58 battery and I also have fsd beta 10.6.1, I think. This is the version so I'm going to test it too, but let me come back later and calculate the average battery consumption while I was away all month. Okay, let's check the statistics on November 14, 2021. I left my car unparked at 73 battery charge 32 days later on December 16, 2021, when I returned from my trip, my car battery died until state of charge 58 and that was a difference of 15 over the 32 days my car was unplugged and idling and that averages out to 0.47 battery drain per day, let me repeat that the average battery drain of 0.47 per day in the last 32 days is pretty amazing, also keep in mind that I didn't have sentry mode on because sentry mode will drain a lot of battery and my car will probably essentially drain it to 20 percent during my trip if I have sentry mode on and then at 20 the sentry mode will turn itself off due to lower battery state of charge and my car is a 2018 model so it is considered old at this point.

Story of the Tesla Model 3, so my car doesn't have a heat pump which will also help manage or preserve the state of charge of the battery a little better, but that was really impressive. Plus, I only opened my Tesla app twice during the month-long trip. The first time was updating my car to fsd beta 10.5 which I didn't get to test and then just before returning from the trip my car was updated to fsd beta 10.6.1 so those were the only two times I I touched the Tesla. app all the other time I just ignored it completely, didn't touch it at all, so now you know how little the Tesla battery will drain when you leave it unplugged and away for a while and hopefully even if you can't install a home charger As if I couldn't see a video link here, you can rest assured that your car will be fine if you're gone for a week or two, three or even a month if you follow the advice I've given you in this video.

I hope this video addressed your concerns about not having a charger at home and you have to go on a trip and you're worried that your Tesla battery will be completely dead when you get back, chances are it won't. please subscribe if you haven't already if you have any additional questions leave a comment below thank you so much for watching I will see you next time and God bless you
