One other thing that will help reduce phantom drain is to turn off data sharing. We parked our car at the airport for three weeks and had only 2% loss.
Cabin overheat only works for the first 12 hours after you stop driving your car. It states that in the manual and I also notice it from experience parking at hot airport parking lots. Driving your car (or just potentially unlocking and re-locking) again resets this.
@@TailosiveEV The AC would most likely only toggle on a few times then stop altogether after 12 hours. Still, if the point is that every little bit helps when storing for long term, then yep, shut 'er off and save as much as a kWh or two.
Yea, LFP has a much more narrow voltage range than Li-ion based batteries. Once a week is a good idea when you’re on AC, but there’s no good reason to bother doing so on a super charger. Actually, thinking about it a bit more, I believe it’s pretty much pointless to 100% on a supercharger. If I’m not mistaken, cars don’t bother with balancing the cells while fast charging, only on AC charging when the BMS determines it’s necessary. Balancing the cells, which I’d assume plays a role in calibrating the 100% point with the BMS, can take a while on its own, so a fast charger is going to skip that step since it’s only goal is to get you charged as fast at possible.
I would certainly calibrate that LFP BMS if I was going on a long trip and would be using up a significant portion of the battery's charge. While personally I don't like to go below 10% SOC, if I was the type that goes into single-digit SOC, it would be a good thing to not get caught with my pants down by having the BMS uncalibrated. Also, when you are on a long trip, after doing your 100% charge, you have the opportunity to discharge your pack away from a high SOC, so your battery is not sitting at high SOC for an extended period (I'd like to see an LFP-SOC degradation chart). Right now, I am not doing much driving, so I feel comfortable for several weeks not doing that 100% charge - I'm living in the middle of the SOC range.
Good video. Small correction: Model Y is also LFP in the UK. That's the car I have! My home charger recently broke so I had this dilemma of charging to 100% with supercharging. Not sure if this is good for the battery.
I have a 2023 Tesla model 3 rwd and it consume about 3 to 4 % every 8 hrs. I turn everything off; cabin protection, century mode and I didn’t check my app. Should I be concerned or contact Tesla.
Great video, thanks. I have Tesla MYLR and I want to leave it in my garage for 3 months without using it, my plan is to keep it plugged in to a level 2 charger and set the battery limit to 55%. Do you think this will damage the car in any way? Any advice? Thanks!
Cabin overheat protection doesn't engage unless you've unlocked the car in the last 12 hours. Turning it off is unnecessary. I'd much rarher just make every effort to find even a basic 110 and leave it plugged in and set to 50%, per the manual. I use a cheap granny charger that I bought online as my UMC started giving me the red T of death and the 6 amp limit after 2½ years of near-daily usage.
can you use FSD when nobodys in the car? I was thinking if you travel you wouldn't need to use a uber or taxi to the airport you could just have the car drive back
I'm sorry, but you have something seriously bad growing on the side of your nose. Every week it gets larger. You need to go to the doctor to get that checked out pronto!

I lose about 1% every week with everything turned off except phone key

Very helpful, thank you
What about 6-8 months in a storage unit, any advice from anyone here?
Sounds like we need a "battery saver mode" were tesla cuts a maximum of batterie usage. Like on Android phone.
@elon make this happen! (Too bad I can't ACTUALLY tag him lol)

If you leave the LFP battery Tesla for 4 months in our garage what percentage do you set it to charge? thanks, Alex
More Cybertruck videos please!
If there's no meaningful updates, do you really want a useless boring video?
@@ab3040for you it's boring
@@xpreflex6265 I am 100% without a doubt am going to buy it

That’s perfect! No better way to store it imo
For the 6 weeks did you leave it unplugged?
great info that I haven't seen anywhere else
What happened to those 3 original roadsters they auctioned in China?

@@TailosiveEV It doesn't run continuously. Only briefly when cabin temperature gets too high.
Love watching both of your channels!

If I'm not mistaken there is a travel mode. Don't think you need to do all that manually
Where was that option found? Could not find it in the search menu
Lol there's no travel mode
I was worried about leaving mine for 7 days
264 miles. How many miles do you have on your rwd. I have 10k miles on my lfp rwd m3 and it shows 265-266 when fully charged.
glad you are back!!!!
Wow. Can we redo this with a human dummy ballistic mold??
I’ll probably bring this up in a live stream but I just took a road trip in my soul ev and one of the providers charged me an absurd $1.30 per kWh
That never ever happens to the Tesla network
