Tesla owners know that leaving their car parked for several days can sometimes be expensive in battery percentage.
Teslas, like all modern smart cars, never fully rest. Between camera surveillance, climate control remaining on standby, and various comfort features, battery life gradually decreases without even driving. To address this problem, Tesla is reportedly set to introduce a new “Low Power Mode,” designed to limit this so-called phantom consumption according to Not a Tesla App.
The principle is simple: by activating this mode, the car automatically disables most energy-intensive functions when it is stationary. There’s no need to dig through menus or remember to turn everything off one by one. With a single action from the central screen or mobile app, the car can be put into “smart” standby. Systems like surveillance, climate maintenance, or certain comfort options will be paused, allowing for maximum charge preservation during an extended absence.
Your Tesla isn’t ignoring you
This mode doesn’t render the Tesla inaccessible: the app will continue to allow the vehicle to be awakened, and some settings will remain available. For those who wish, it will even be possible to customize the operation. For example, keeping the interior overheating protection or maintaining the Sentry Mode while keeping the rest disabled. Even better, Tesla plans to add an automatic activation option below a certain battery threshold, so the car will switch to low consumption mode by itself if the level becomes critical.
The feature has already been spotted in the latest version of the Tesla app, indicating that it could arrive very soon, likely with the next software update expected in September.
