You can check out this video for reference. ruclips.net/video/18-cHIz1nPE/видео.htmlsi=kq2hVz36FysleYXI

@@mattgruber3933 mine is normally 0-1% battery drain with sentry off.

[@nickman011]

My 2019 SR+ drains 10% in a normal 8 hour workday with sentry on with the cameras activated. I still leave it on because I don’t trust the parking at work. I only go to work once a week anyway. It’s interesting that it is using less power for you. Maybe my car gets triggered more it’s a quite a green area so moving bushes or trees could potentially trigger it more 🧐

[@TeslaJoy]

Could be!

[@nvptx]

Tesla owner should not be worry about drainage . Damage to your car while park
In the public . have a full video is with more than the 10% charge . Let say at .39- .49 cent /kWh charge .
Vs the cost of. Vandalism. Videos
For insurance claims.

[@TeslaJoy]

That’s not the point of this video.

[@braaji]

Tesla car is keyed all the time please use Sentry mode,

[@TeslaJoy]

Mine’s never been keyed and I’ve owned the car for 6.5 years. 🤷🏻‍♀️

[@braaji]

@ lucky you, mine was keyed 3 hours after I picked up my Model Y last August 23

7% was a lot. Elon should have fixed it for less.

[@TeslaJoy]

You can’t because the car is awake and on alert. That’s just simple physics.
