It can be sentry, or the always on accessories setting is on.

Your car isn't going to sleep, google what to turn off, but probably it's a sentry mode or USB power accessories turner on while parked

I’ve turned sentry mode off and cabin overheat and all those stuff. What else do i do?

I’ve turned them all off, not sure about accessories setting i’ll check it out

Try turning "low power mode on" and don't check the app. When you refresh the miles in app it keeps the car awake

Then it should start to show that the car is sleeping

Make sure you don't have ASS turned on, too.

Click on energy app and see what’s going on.
Is your phone placed very close to the car? It may but be going into deep sleep.
Are you constantly sending commands to your car? Or waking it up by opening app and pressing things?

Alright thanks I will try that

Here are two other things to check. Whenever you launch the Tesla app on your phone, don’t do a refresh, meaning don’t “pull down/refresh” in the opening screen of the app, just show the first screen as that will wake the car up. Also, if you go into controls and check things like psi or go into climate, that will wake it up.
Also, don’t be afraid to do a power off on the car. I’ve had to power off to correct a few issues - hope this helps!

Assuming you can get the car to sleep normally, 1-3% drain per day is normal drain for pre-palladium cars. If it's 5% or more your 12 volt might be on the way out.
Legacy Model S/X (Pre-2021) cars used low-resistance resistors for cell balancing. This allowed the BMS to balance the cells quickly and get a highly accurate Open Circuit Voltage (OCV) reading in just 15–20 minutes after the car was turned off. However, the trade-off was a much higher "resting" power draw, as the system was more aggressive and active.
With the Palladium Refresh Tesla switched to high-resistance resistors (roughly 10x higher resistance). This drastically reduced the power consumed by the balancing process itself, effectively lowering the "floor" for phantom drain. This architecture was first implemented on the 2017 model 3 and 2020 model y.

Check out this video. Watched just yesterday. It talks specifically about this at one point. https://youtu.be/DjeklEZM5Pc?si=b--blXMla75Ia-OE

I like my ASS turned on

I had a power drain and it was the “summon feature” that was staying active and keeping the car awake.
You can enable low power mode overnight and see if you still have a drain.

That pending update can sometimes cause this as it will attempt to do it every so often

Sentry mode was not shutting off while home. Took me a minute to figure that out

It’s actually off, i never turned it on in the first place , im hoping it’s just that the software updating keeps trying to wake the car up and attempt updates.
SubieSTI360
2026-03-05 15:23
Oh yeah. I didn’t look at the picture. Can you get it into WiFi range or hotspot your phone to get that update? I would guess it’s trying to connect to something all day.

Could be just the 12v battery needing a top up in charge

You must turn climate off and your charging schedule off or your hvac will precondition your battery for charging.

As many people have already stated, something is causing your car to be awake and on standby. There's a lot of things this could be, accessory power, ASS, etc. You should be able to figure it out from the "Energy" app if you have physical access to the car. If you don't, enable Low Power Mode and it should go to sleep. Learned this the hard way by going on vacation with ASS standby on. Luckily there was barely enough charge to get to a charger when I came back.

Are you considering 6 miles of loss to be really bad? My guess would be that you're looking at range when you park it and the batteries are warm, then checking again the next morning when they're cold. You'll see a slight variance from the temperature.

2026-03-05 21:45
No it’s not just applicable to overnight , the car was sat today at home all day not driven and it dropped a further 9 miles, I mean I checked the app twice today and I don’t understand how it can lose so much range just sitting there?
LordFly88
2026-03-05 22:55
Most people go by percent because the range estimates can vary so drastically (temperature, terrain, etc.), but 9 miles does seem a bit high, especially with sentry off. It shows an update available, it's possible it's right on the edge of wifi and is endlessly trying and failing to update, so it's never properly going to sleep.

1% overnight should be normal. Any more and you probably have accessories "always on". This perplexed me for a month as I was losing 2-3% a night.
Sentry is too obvious. It's probably accessories
