There's a whole list of things to prevent battery drain.
  • Turn off smart summon standby (picture)
  • Turn off sentry mode
  • Turn off dog mode / camp mode
  • Turn off cabin overheat protection (thanks FRC!)
  • Turn off scheduled departure (as FRC learned the hard way)
  • Don't use the Tesla app to check the status of your car often. Using the app wakes it up.
  • Be careful using third-party apps. Some of them behave well. Some of them don't and keep waking the car back up.
  • Don't use more than one third-party app. Even if two individual apps behave well, combining them can be enough to prevent the car from sleeping.
  • If you tried out a third-party app in the past, but no longer use it, it may STILL being doing things that prevent your car from sleeping. To be absolutely sure that this isn't happening, change the password on your Tesla account. This will revoke any privileges you may have given to apps in the past.
Did I miss anything?
