User reports 77% battery after 5 months parked (unconfirmed)
Unconfirmed: a user posted on Reddit that he left his Tesla Model Y in China for five months. According to his account, he charged it to 90% before traveling, turned off Sentry and other features, set the tires to the recommended pressure, and did not open the Tesla app during his absence. On his return, the app showed 78%, although the post title says 77%. The author first assumed it was an app error. The text is cut off and does not include the rest of the account or any additional measurements.
- Reddit post: Model Y charged to 90% before traveling to China.
- After five months unused, the title says 77% and the body says 78%.
🔎 Why it matters: No official confirmation: the case is one user's account of a Model Y that dropped from 90% to 77-78% after five months parked in China, with Sentry turned off.
📈 Upside: Not applicable.
📉 Risk: If the case repeats, owners who leave their car parked for several months could return to find about 12-13 percentage points less charge.
