Why does my car lose range while parked?
A parked Tesla uses very little while it sleeps, and more when something keeps it awake. The most common causes:
- Sentry Mode, which keeps the car awake as long as it’s on;
- Cabin Overheat Protection or scheduled climate;
- cold weather: the battery warms itself, and the displayed range also drops with the temperature;
- an app (Tesla’s or a third party’s) or an accessory that checks on or wakes the car often.
In the Parking tab, each stop shows what the car lost meanwhile: compare a night with and without Sentry Mode to see the difference.
Copeel itself lets your car go to sleep as usual and only rarely wakes it: see Does Copeel drain my car’s battery?.
