That's surprising to me! I don't use cabin overheat protection nor sentry... maybe that's why?
Yup cabin overheat and sentry has a huge effect. But even with those turned off my car still consumes. I also just noticed you were in SC, which is pretty moderate in terms of climate. I'm in the NE and my car is constantly trying to cool itself in the summer or heat itself during the winter to maintain battery temps. That's another big factor that may be working in your favor.
Interesting. I owned a 2019 Model 3 and there was always drain when left parked for extended periods unplugged. Of course, when I parked at the airport I kept Sentry Mode active but I resisted checking on it constantly and limited opening the app to once a day. I didn't keep metrics, but I'm certain the drain was more than 1.5% each day. As a new EV owner at the time, when I contacted Tesla about it they explained all of the reasons why this is perfectly normal, and ways to minimize the drain. But zero percent drain after 5 days parked with no power? Unless you put it into some sort of deep sleep mode, I hope I get that magic battery next time around! : )
We left my car in Charlotte airport at the end of October, so it wasn't particularly hot or cold; I don't expect the same result in winter or summer.
I should note I have not connected my truck to any wifi network as it's too far away from my unit but my guess would be that it would check in via LTE similarly.my truck wakes up and connects to WiFi on this schedule over last 24 hours (large block was while charging). It is currently plugged up which may impact some, but when I check,i Feel like I usually see this pattern
My personal experience with Model Y and reports on forums is that there is no significant vampire losses on Teslas anymore. Sure if using cabin protection in Las Vegas you might experience similar drain, but your Tesla is not representative of the Tesla fleet whatsoever. Every Rivian has this problem though.
This is 100% true. Any of our measurements stated in % for Rivian versus almost any other EV is going to favor the Rivian. It would be more accurate to state kwh but that's another conversion step.
On that note, I had a problem with the update prior to Halloween one (not in place to look up numbers). Truck didn’t think it had finished the update. It was checking in icy more frequently in that borked state. Feel like it was at least once an hour. Has since been resolved. I use the WiFi stats to keep an eye on the truck
Same with our 2021 Model 3, you'd have to not use it for a few days to see any range drop because overnight there is basically no range loss any longer.
Also true for the Chevy Bolt EV and EUV. Unplugged in my garage for weeks without any appreciable loss.
