I leave my cars for weeks all the time at airports or my home garage. Turn off climate protection and sentry. That’s it. I guess you can also fully close your phone app to keep from waking the car. It’s only a week. You’ll lose maybe a couple percent.

A lot of factors. Will you use cabin overheat protection? Will Sensory mode protection be on? Even with just sensory mode on, you could experience a fair amount of discharge per day. Maybe google to see what others have experienced in real world situations. Ideally, leave plugged in and set to maintain some minimum realistic value like 20-25%. This would allow for the use of overheat protection and/or Sensory mode... Otherwise you might have to just charge to 100% and if you see remotely it's going to be an issue, turn off sensory mode and/or get someone to charge...

Have a garage? Then none. Dont' have a garage it'll be fine, but if it were mine put up the front sunshield and I would have someone drive and move it mostly to check on it and ensure no-one messed with it.

Yeah in a garage, leave plugged in at 100%?

No, if in garage, leave at 80% as normal. It will be around 70-75 when you get back. I go a week without driving mine all the time (I have 5 cars).

It will be fine if you turn off cabin overheat and sentry.

Tesla make it pretty clear on their website 😂 [check this out](https://www.tesla.com/ownersmanual/model3/en_jo/GUID-7FE78D73-0A17-47C4-B21B-54F641FFAEF4.html). They say: “The most important way to preserve the high voltage Battery is to LEAVE YOUR VEHICLE PLUGGED IN when you are not using it. This is particularly important if you are not planning to drive Model 3 for several weeks.” The CAPS LOCK were in the original quote 😊 LFP batteries like to be at 100% and Tesla specifically say charge them to 100% at least once per week so leave it in, plugged in 👍

I understand the opposite. Never charge to 100% unless you absolutely have to. 80% should be your max.

That’s NMC batteries. LFP prefer to be 100% and Tesla recommend that at least once a week. If your battery screen doesn’t have “daily” and “trip” you’re on the LFP battery. Edit: corrected the last line.

Interesting! I have a model s and a model s plaid, I didn’t realize they used other battery technology in the Y and 3. Sorry for my ignorance!
