So here’s well autonomous cars reign supreme, because you just take your car to wherever you wanna go, it drops you off, and you can send it back home, problem solved. Cheers 🥂
Thanks for going through this for all the rest of us. For me, if I decided I needed to drive my Tesla, rather than Uber, I'd just kick it old school and leave sentry mode off. But ain't no way I'm paying $800 to park for any period of time.
I lived and worked in Los Angeles for 30+ years. I never left my car at LAX. The parking fees are oppressive. We took a limo service, cheaper than taxis. The cars stayed at home. We were picked up as scheduled and taken to airport and on return, they were waiting to take us home. Now there is Uber and other alternatives. I live in Texas now, but would never leave my car at DFW. Shuttles are the way to go. You are nuts to leave your car there.
Interesting video! My boyfriend did the first option; turn off sentry mode and cabin overheat protection and after 2 1/2 weeks his Model 3 only lost 3% of battery!
I want to add that I did use the economy parking for my out of town trip, the economy cost me $150 for a week, so for those wanting to use the ev charging at the economy it is just as good as you get free shuttle service. I recommend the rest of Chris’ information on preparing for the trip and getting the items set up before hand, also recommend trying the charger before you get everything unloaded.
I have a Tesla too and took a trip May-June this year to Korea just left my car at home and rode a uber to and from airport instead. ended up being only $80 for uber and car only consumed 7% while in my garage so I think this is cheaper option. I feel safer to keep the house at home and take a Uber instead.
@@EverydayChris why not? You're super fit. I'd be curious as to what a normal day for you looks like. in terms of like diet, workout frequency/regimen.
Surprised you were able to leave the car in the charging space for 2 weeks. $800 for 2 weeks is insane. Door-to-door Uber or limo makes more sense. But good info.
I’ve parked at LAX for like 12 hours before for $60 (no charging) Realized it would have been better to just Uber myself there and back home for probably $75 total
@@EverydayChris Thanks. Your videos are really good. We have a Y and I drive a Mach E. I’m not the daily driver of the Y and have learned more, from your videos… thanks again.
"Not the cheapest" is a massive understatement. I understand you had to do this to show us the experience of parking there. I thought it was a great video, but best to advice people that unless you really need to park there for whatever reason, Uber/taxi is the way to go. As I said, great video though.
How is it that when you click on the camera button (checking sentry clips) your past recorded footages come up so fast? I have a 2019 Model 3 long range, and it takes forever for it to load...
Sorry if you had some random person staring at you at LAX... that was me lol. I was like, "is that Chris from UA-cam?" and realized that you are much taller than I expected...
Do not get why your sentry mode drains so much. Mine never takes more than 5% per day. Also I have no events, because I set it so that only real events count (ie someone touching the car, so accidents, breakins etc) and not like in the past everyone walking by. Then it should not drain much and report little to none. Climate control and sentry is indeed a bummer but one does not need AC anyway. Also it stops when you reach 20%, so there is really zero risk to really empty your battery. If you switch off your App, then it does not consume anything or extremely little. When it gets even lower, the car shuts down and then does not consume anything.
depends how close you are to the motion and yes you are correct it does switch off after 20% but if you're gone for a few extra days that can get dangerously low!
$ 800 is ridiculously expensive, leave the car at home and take Uber , the battery won’t drain that much since no sentry mode needed, as long as I leave the car at the proper energy level. That kinda money is about the same of the ticket price of the flight , economy class
I simply don't trust people. I would not bring a beautiful Tesla to sit in an airport parking lot for a while. Some people are vindictive and purposely do damage to them. I'm glad you had no issues while you were away in Singapore.
Holy cow. $900 and that’s not bad?! Why not just Uber it to the airport. I’m sure round trip would be way less than $900 and less stress Do you have a video on how to jump start your car?
my sentry mode doesn't even work lmaooo I need to take it in to fix this issue, it is just greyed out but I can view it through my phone which is weird
Insane never leaving my tesla at airport what if the flex charger stopped working like so many other non tesla chargers over 1,000 events in less then 2 weeks over 100$ battery use I'll just get someone to drop me off or take Uber but thanks for dropping over 1,000 with charging to show us this video
I've long come to the conclusion that when it comes to airport parking, DON'T! 😂Between having to find a parking spot that also has chargers, the cost for parking itself, the cost for charging and having to periodically look to see what your charging level is (why exactly does sentry mode drain the battery so much?), stressed wondering if someone damaged your car, it's so, so, SSOOOOOOOOOOO much better to just hire a private car to drive you to and from the airport.
Yes also I wish they could find away to not drain battery it's only a camera but everyday I go work I lose about 8% even when thier is no events I work a 12hr shift at night
For them to charge that much just to keep your car topped off is disgusting. Should be illegal honestly.. they charge you to leave your car there and then on top of that charge 10X the amount it actually cost to have your car charging at home. Best bet would be to have a friend take your car.

$800 parking is just insane......i would take Uber instead.
Plus all the extra stress of checking every time there is an alert
When it's the same price, or just a bit more, I already take a cab
Yea that’s nuts. No way I’m paying that much.
So here’s well autonomous cars reign supreme, because you just take your car to wherever you wanna go, it drops you off, and you can send it back home, problem solved. Cheers 🥂

Agreed. Just did for the video hahah
Ah yes, it’s an easy tax write off. Genius!
$800 to park a car. That’s nuts 😮

hahaha I'm not a true saxon
PS - you;re right, Sentry mode is great but a real battery drain. I use it overnight in NYC, and drop 5-7% overnight.
My tip for the Atlanta airport, part in economy north or south. Both have massive free ev charging areas and it's like 12 bucks a day to park.
Nice ATL.
Make sure you have locks on your wheels. And Atlanta they’ve been taking the wheels off of cars at the airport.
Thank you so much for pulling this together, Chris. It was no small feat.
Interesting video! My boyfriend did the first option; turn off sentry mode and cabin overheat protection and after 2 1/2 weeks his Model 3 only lost 3% of battery!
Yah thats my model x! Barely anything!! Crazy
7:42 $860 for 15 days of parking, and overall it’s not bad?! Dude! Not the cheapest is an understatement hahah
I'll drive my gas truck to the airport next time I take a long trip and leave the Model Y at home... WAY too expensive!!
Thanks for the info on this. I will be looking forward to using this this coming weekend.

Great video, very helpful and kudos for taking the extra time and planning to make this! :)
Great video! Eye opening and eye popping to say the least. I will stick with a limo to the airport :)
Have you already done a video on how you maintain your fitness? whats your diet, sleep, and daily workouts like?
Haha not yet. Should I?

excellent video learned a lot now I am ready for extended parking thanks Chris keep the vids coming
Thanks Kenny
Hey Chris, do you have a link or brand name of your EV starter kit?
Been using this one forever amzn.to/3YG01vZ
@@EverydayChris Thanks. Your videos are really good. We have a Y and I drive a Mach E. I’m not the daily driver of the Y and have learned more, from your videos… thanks again.
over $800 for parking at LAX. They should have included trickle charging for EV for that type of cost.
Singapore is on my bucket list.

I thought it was a great video, but best to advice people that unless you really need to park there for whatever reason, Uber/taxi is the way to go. As I said, great video though.
Thanks for sharing
I like your videos! How can I do this with ChargePoint?
Same way! Create an account. PLug in pay and done
seems like i should just uber to the damn airport at this point lol
800$ parking better include valet service straight to my plane seat with a artisan sandwich awaiting for me
Wait what, 800 dollars for parking? 😮
How large of a storage device do you have in your car to hold 1576 sentry mode events?
Check my accessory video! Got the 1tb ssd
How is it that when you click on the camera button (checking sentry clips) your past recorded footages come up so fast? I have a 2019 Model 3 long range, and it takes forever for it to load...
haha prob cause its a 2019 and the CPU is slower!
question....when cabin overheat protection notifies you the cabin has reached overheat temp should the AC turn on automatically?
Century mode drains from the main battery not the 12 volt.
Sorry if you had some random person staring at you at LAX... that was me lol. I was like, "is that Chris from UA-cam?" and realized that you are much taller than I expected...
HAHAH. NO way should have said wazzzup.
Man that model x screen go crazy I wanted a model but I duno now

if you turn on valet mode the glovebox lock will already turn on to this is a step you can skip lol
Yeah that’s the problem with living far away, 40+ minutes, from an airport. No driver or ride share really wants to pick you up.
Jump start kit - grerat idea!
Can you not just set an longterm parking profile to enable all these?
MM those have to be changed and its global so you have to modify as needed
I can never see all the Tesla charging stations on my map. Do I need to download something? I’m a newbie.
yah just press the little lightning bolt icon on the gps map screen
And how do I get the Tesla ap on my Apple Watch??
do you always use pin to drive?
I do NOT.

quick tip! but I want to do a new one!
When u on holiday's 😂😂but u gotta check your car stats dayily😅
why not just uber to and from airport? can even uber black on the way back so you don't have to go to the uber lot.
For the video baby. People out there want to know.
@@EverydayChris now i know! thanks for the sacrifice
That's great info about Uber Black! Thanks
0:59 am I the only one that wondered "Why is an airport in LA named for Tom Brady?
Agree. Wait is it Tom Brady or Tom Bradley hahahah
my sentry mode doesn't even work lmaooo I need to take it in to fix this issue, it is just greyed out but I can view it through my phone which is weird
I’d leave it at home and ride public transit to the airport or take Uber to airport either way.

They need to add viewing sentry mode events from the app.

@@BLEEDGREEN7777 exactly!
Well technically Tesla will use the AC charger for low voltage while plugged in, right?
$800+? No way I would do it 😂
why not leave the jump starter in the frunk and just carry a small battery? Sounds silly to take the jump starter with you
If it dies the frunk wont even open haha. The jump starter is to open the frunk
Huh?? You missed my point. You can use a 12v A23 battery (aka small) to pop the frunk with a dead battery. No need to carry a large battery jumper.
@@badtoro OH cool! Thanks for the video idea. I actually saw a post on TMC where they left the battery inside the tow hitch compartment
:-P@@EverydayChris
troll level $800+ parking hawt damn hahahahaha

Yeah it’s bad. But now you know!
I am still thinking to buy Tesla, but only one concern is about battery. So I will wait my dream car Tesla until 2025.
QR-Code, not bar-code! 😁👍
For $800 feels likes paying rent for your car while on vacation
Welcome to CA Democrats ideologies coming to your town soon 👎
@@shanew7361 democrats set parking rates for private companies? fuck outta here.
here i am complaining for $80 parking for two weeks on my ice lmao.. humbled
Ahahah
why would any reasonable person pay damn near 900 bucks for this? This is an insane thing to do. Cannot think of a reason for anyone to do this
are you going to check all the sentry mode HAHA
legend has it he's still checking today
With $800 u could have pay a driver to come picking you up and drop you back home. 😮😂
I’ll leave my car at home on the charger and Uber to the airport.
Who is stupid enough to pay 860$ for parking?
this guy.. and apparently others. few cars were still there when I parked and were still there when I left haha
Sheeeesh
hahaha
$800 for parking.... ROFL.... no thanks.
take my gas car to park at airport 😂
I still don't understand why we can't save/view footage on a cloud-based storage when we're far from the car.
exactly!!!! i bet thats coming soon
@@EverydayChris I really hope so that will be a game changer
I left my Hyundai Kona Electric parked and unplugged for a month and had the same percentage of battery charge…
tesla really needs to make this shitty sentry mode use less power and I dont even think that is a difficult thing to do
Holly shit!
Uber is cheaper
Park at home and take an Uber.
You lost your mind, $858.99 for EV parking!
$800?! It is not economical efficient. Take the Uber, it is way way way cheaper and never need to worry anything that you are worrying.
Agreed. But for the video had to do it
@@EverydayChris wow thank you for doing this!!
Uber!!!!
This is yet another reasonI will not own an EV until and if the this type of crap doesnt exist 😂 what a waste.
U date boy handsome?
