Tesla’s Latest Innovation: Introducing ‘Low Power Mode’
With the latest Tesla software update 2025.32, a groundbreaking new feature called Low Power Mode has been unveiled. This innovative feature is designed to reduce energy consumption while the vehicle is parked by deactivating various power-hungry features. Managing your vehicle’s energy usage has never been easier, especially during long periods of parking.
This new vacation mode addresses the age-old problem of vampire drain, providing a practical and flexible solution for Tesla owners. Whether you’re parking at the airport or traveling across the globe, Low Power Mode offers convenient manual and automatic control options.
To activate Low Power Mode manually, simply toggle the feature on or off in the vehicle’s settings or via the Tesla app. In the vehicle, navigate to Controls > Charging > Low Power Mode. Alternatively, in the Tesla app, access Low Power Mode under Controls or add it to your list of Quick Actions for quick and easy energy conservation.
For automatic activation, you can set a specific battery percentage at which Low Power Mode will kick in. By choosing a reserve battery level, the feature will automatically engage once your vehicle’s charge drops below the threshold you’ve selected. The default activation level is set at 20%.
So, what exactly does Low Power Mode do? This feature disables power-hungry functions such as Sentry Mode, Summon Standby, Cabin Overheat Protection, and more while your vehicle is parked. By turning off these features, Low Power Mode conserves energy and streamlines the process of preparing your vehicle for extended parking periods.
It’s important to note that Low Power Mode does not completely shut down the vehicle. The car remains connected and accessible through the Tesla app, consuming a minimal amount of energy for standby functions and battery temperature management.
In certain scenarios, such as while charging or Supercharging, specific features like Sentry Mode and Accessory Power will remain active. Dog Mode, however, is exempt from Low Power Mode restrictions, ensuring that your furry friends stay comfortable and safe.
Tesla has implemented overrides to give owners ultimate control over their vehicle’s features. If you attempt to activate a restricted function while Low Power Mode is active, the system will prompt you for confirmation, providing you with the autonomy to choose which features to enable.
Overall, the introduction of Low Power Mode is a game-changer, offering Tesla owners a quick and efficient way to disable power-consuming features and optimize energy efficiency. Stay tuned for more updates and innovations from Tesla as they continue to revolutionize the automotive industry.
