Idk I live in Seattle and in the colder months it's like 40-50f (4-10c)
it's not unusual for me to lose ~5% of a charge overnight if it's not plugged in. During the summer months it might not even lose 1% overnight
Mine is a 2019 m3lr awd with ~120k miles just for reference.

i have noticed when I have ASS lol ( actually smart summon ) ON , the battery tends to lose a bit more overnight than when ASS is off. being i do not use summon, i have it turned off, and i barely see 1-2% battery drop overnight (if not plugged in).

Hi I am a fellow pnw Tesla driver. I just got mine. Do you notice much better real mileage per charge during spring and summer? I’m currently charging to 90% each night and that gets me around 165 real world miles. I have a 2022 model y awd lr with 46k miles on it

Yeah mine gets WAY better mileage in the summer.
In the cold months the mileage/efficiency probably dips by at least 30% maybe even more, but I don't really keep track.

I’m having two chargers installed at my house Friday which will make things a lot better for us I assume. I got mine last Friday and my wife the Saturday before that. We’ve been super charging to get us through til the chargers are installed. I’m still paying less than I was for gas, but the time spent at the super charger sucks ass! lol

Yeah superchargers suck. I would never own a Tesla if I didn't have the means of charging at home.
I'm actually incredibly spoiled and my apartment has free charging 😇

That’s awesome! I’m excited to get the chargers installed at our house! It’ll be a game changer for sure.

Guys do you keep it plugged in during night? And should I let it charge till 100% or 80%?

There is a bug where if you have multiple precondition schedules, the car stays awake for many hours.
Once I turned off all my Schedules, the car doesn't even use energy and just sleeps.
I confirmed this by checking the energy app in the car for the BEFORE and AFTER, consumption falls off a cliff.
Now I just precondition 10 minutes before I leave somewhere.

Make sure sentry mode is off too. Or set it to a reasonable time of action. ie doesn't activate at your house.

Smart summon, don't know why but it drained my battery like crazy

This! When I first got mine the battery lasted forever, then I turned on accessory power and it would drop just sitting in my garage. I thought something was wrong but nope it was me being an idiot. Once I turned off access power it was back to holding charge for days at a time!

Same, anything below 10c I loose a few % a night. 5 or 6 if I have sentry on.
