That's a (mostly early model year) Tesla problem, not an electric car problem. My Nissan LEAF sat unused in my driveway for several months in 2020 and its charge level didn't drop at all.

I would think the ambient outdoor temperature would have a rather large impact here. If it's cold outside the car has to use battery power to keep the batteries themselves within operating range.

The Nissan LEAF's battery warmer only activates at -17C and turns off at -10C.
It does not reach -17C any day of the year in much of the world.
