What Are the Reasons for Significant Battery Drain in Tesla?
1 Answers
Tesla's significant battery drain can be attributed to the following reasons: 1. Low-temperature battery drain: Both lithium iron phosphate batteries and ternary lithium batteries contain lithium. Under low-temperature conditions, the activity of lithium ions in the battery decreases, leading to a reduction in the net discharge rate of the battery. 2. Sentry Mode: In this mode, the car remains in a standby sleep state, but the onboard cameras and sensors continue to operate, continuously monitoring the surrounding environment for potential threats, thereby enhancing the vehicle's safety performance. Once the vehicle detects someone approaching, it switches to an alert state, where the interior screen lights up red and warns the approaching individual. If someone breaks a window, the car will automatically play loud sounds through the internal speakers and send an alert to the owner's phone, providing convenience and security while reducing the risk of theft. 3. Cabin Overheat Protection: Cabin Overheat Protection allows the temperature control system to lower the cabin temperature in extremely high environmental temperatures for up to 12 hours after leaving the Tesla vehicle. Without A/C, when the cabin temperature exceeds 40°C, only the fan operates. This option consumes less energy, but the cabin temperature may still exceed 40°C. With A/C on, when the cabin temperature exceeds 40°C, the air conditioning system operates.
