On v19.3, mine uses ~6mi/24h when left outside and the ambient temp is 74-92F. The drain increased to ~9mi/24h on hotter days 76-99F.
This drain was recorded with the gear guard on, but not much/if any movement around. I saw a max cabin temp of 130F for the days with higher drain.

how does this compare to non-EVs? Is the R1T heating up, or is that a typical temp for a vehicle?

I didn't have a way to check the cabin temp on my previous vehicle, so I'm not sure tbh.
At least with the R1T, I've seen +130F before on really hot days 95+, but after I got the sun shade for the windshield and pano roof and the tint, I haven't seen it above 125F.

If you are going for an extended trip, I wouldn't. You will be calling a tow truck when you return unless you find an open charging spot, but that's a risk you will take driving to the airport.
That's hyperbolic nonsense. Drain shouldn't be more than about 1.5% per day, so unless you're leaving it there for two months there is no reason to worry about it. If you're going to be gone long enough to worry about vampire drain, you shouldn't even be driving to the airport and paying for parking.

If you're seeing that much battery loss while being unplugged, check the app to see if you have a "wake vehicle" button. If you don't, walk out to the truck without your phone and keys and see if you hear a pump or fan running. If you do, there is something that is preventing the truck from going to sleep, which is the mode that saves energy. I'm not sure if there is a "proper" way to shut the truck down, but I was able to stop the huge drain by doing a full reset.

It would be great to have an update where they create a "sleep" mode for longer term parking scenarios like the airport. But what do I know this is my first EV, haha

I noticed this for the first time this week - lost 3% overnight which was odd. I’m on the latest software, but updated a couple of weeks ago.

I simply did a soft reset of the software, and the truck only lost 1% over the past 24 hours. Will continue to monitor. 🤷

There is a sleep state and the object is to be sure your truck is in it most of the time when you are not using it.The problem is that no one can give you a procedure for putting the car to sleep though all the suggestions earlier in the thread do seem to help. When the truck is asleep you will see an indication of that on the main screen of the app in the upper right hand corner where there is a button labeleld "Wake Vehicle"

The numbers in this picture indicate the truck has lost 2 miles to phantom drain in 12 hrs and will, presumably, loose another 2 in the next 12 for a total of 4 or 1.3% per day.

Wonder if it goes to sleep after the car wash mode timeout.
