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?

No third party apps at all. Just the Tesla one.

I’ve noticed the car uses about 10% whilst parked in the sun whilst at work which is obviously keeping the cabin cool.

I think your probably right. The only example I can think of that might benefit is the roof lining in a car. I think the daily heat cycle probably is the cause of roof lining dropping. Not that big of an issue with a glass roof.

My Amarok has spent the vast majority of its life under cover. It still looks brand new inside.

My last car spent most of its life in the sun and definitely looked old by the time it was 10 years old. Had to replace the roof lining once.
