Will 20% battery last 11 days?

MYLR, stuck at airport for another 11 days. Got notification today of 20% (62 mi) remaining. Will I have enough to get 5 mi. to a supercharger?

Now I know not to leave sentry turned on.

In my garage without sentry the range on my Y goes down about one mile per day.

Do you have a friend who can help? You can remote-start the car, go into controls->Start and they can drive it to the supercharger.

No.
Turn cabin overheat protection off if you're parked outside / in warm weather.

Don't check the car too often (few times a day is fine), car in deep sleep shouldn't use much.

Thanks. AFIK, everything is now off.

I suggest not using the Tesla app at all to check on the car until the day you get back.
Every time you do that, it wakes the car up, causing it to use more energy.

Just let it stay asleep.

My phantom drain experience

I just got back from a two-week vacation. I stopped the Tesla app and never accessed it until after I got home. I also have no third-party apps accessing the car.
Sentry Mode and Cabin Overheat Protection are also turned off.

The battery was at 75% when I left, and was at 71% when I got back.
So that's only 1% loss every 3-4 days (about a mile per day).

I parked my model Y for five weeks. I turned everything off!! I did not check on the vehicle through the app and it had only lost 25%. You should be fine.
Everything should start turning off around 20%. But as @garsh suggested, leave it along and let it sleep. Not much you can do except make it worse.

And then find a parking lot that supports EVs with hopefully only a 15 or 20A 120V sockets.
If you turn everything off you should lose about 7-8% a month.

I left our Model 3 for one month and lost only 7%
Yes, I think you should be okay. If it was the middle of winter and freezing out, I might be concerned, but not when it’s warm.

Also, Cabin Overheat Protection will turn off automatically once the battery drops below 20%. Same for Sentry Mode.
