Hey Tesla enthusiasts! 

I recently came across an interesting case where a Model Y owner conducted a 10-day phantom drain test while parked at an airport. Surprisingly, he only lost 1% of battery over the entire period by disabling power-hungry features like Sentry Mode and Cabin Overheat Protection. This got me thinking—how do you manage your Tesla's battery when you're away for an extended period?
Have you ever done a similar test? What strategies do you use to minimize phantom drain? And for those who have left their Teslas parked for a while, what was your experience like?
Let’s share our tips and tricks for maximizing battery life while parked!
