Why does the car lose so much energy while parked (so-called phantom drain)?
The main cause of noticeable battery loss while parked is almost always Sentry Mode. When it is active, the on-board computer does not sleep but permanently analyses the cameras, which can cost around 4% to 10% of battery per day. The community recommends automatically excluding Sentry Mode for familiar and safe locations (such as your own garage at home) in the settings to protect the battery in everyday use.
