Phantom Drain in Tesla Model 3: What To Avoid

The phantom drain in Tesla Model 3 vehicles occurs when the car loses energy while it's turned off. To reduce phantom drain, disable Sentry Mode, climate control, and third-party apps. A small amount of power loss is normal and expected, but losing more than one mile per hour of idle time is considered excessive. Tesla Model 3 owners can expect an average daily drain of about 1% of battery capacity. Some measures to minimize phantom drain include disabling Sentry Mode when safe, turning off climate control, reviewing third-party apps, and disabling Smart Summon Standby Mode.
