I won't disagree that some trucks are much worse than others. But the release notes didn't say that they were improving outliers, they said stuff like: Reduced battery drain while the vehicle is parked by an average of 10%. (2022.31) And Improved range loss over night (15% average...

That's what they said, but that's not what I measured. I measured no change at all in the 2 updates before 2022.39.

I don't, it doesn't reliably connect to my wifi when sleeping. That said, I find it hard to believe it would need to download anything for an hour at a time. The connection is pretty good, 50 mbps+ on cellular.

Yeah, I don't think it'll scratch anything given the material. I like them a lot. The size is perfect: it allows me to stack stuff on top or underneath. If they were taller, it would be harder to jam them in given the tunnel is not square.

I don't know about that. The last few updates they claimed there were significant improvements, and there weren't, at least not for me.

There's also a significant change in the sleep/wake cycle. The long wake cycles correlate with the battery dropping in both charts. It's nice that they've increased the length of the sleep cycles, but they really need to decrease the length of the wake cycles.

Incredibly, 2022.39.0 is the first update in quite a while to not advertise vampire drain fixes, and the first one I've seen since I started tracking that actually does take a significant chunk out of it. Yellow arrow below is when 2022.39.0 finished installing on my truck. Notice a significant...

I bought two of these and really like them. The length is pretty much exactly right, they're easy to get in and out, the compartments are configurable, tons of pockets, they fold up very small and can fit wherever when not in use, and there's enough room to still put e.g. toolboxes underneath or...

Sad to see this die, that menu was really useful. I'll see if I can bribe a tech.

An off the shelf battery powered BT temp sensor that works with smartthings or Apple/Google Home would have the same effect and be very cheap.

Could use two cheap CPU or GPU-sized radiators. Closed-loop, cheap, ubiquitous, lines will go through the plug. Could be an overoptimization though.

Couldn't it be ventilated out the drain plug?

Met you at Palmer, I had the limestone R1T! Was pretty cool to see another one there and I heard yall had a blast that (4-day) weekend. Wish I had the stones to ride a bike on track.

Yes vampire drain while gear guard is on is comparable to Sentry. What's crazy is that I see absolutely no difference in vampire drain between having gear guard on or off. This seems to be the primary problem. When it's off, average power usage should be in the 5-15W territory. Not 100W.

Theoretically, yes. You could consume less than a watt, easily. But if they're keeping the entire car computer on, and the HV fuse connected, and the car computer then keeps other gadgets on - like powering the cameras, tensor/GPU units, 12v, misc accessories, etc., etc., then you're going to...

With Teslas, they basically don't report to Tesla servers until there is a client requesting it, in which case the vehicle will wake up and answer the request. This is why reporting services like TeslaFi do a complicated dance to ensure they don't wake up the vehicle unnecessarily. In contrast...

Can confirm now that this makes no appreciable difference. I turned off the polling during the empty section here, and drew a light white line over it. You can see the slope is largely unchanged. This is something of a surprise! If nothing is querying the truck, why is it still keeping the...

And kids. I already have some small divots in my driveway from my son cranking the wheel back and forth...

I wouldn't expect that sleep pattern. It is too regular and it clearly is sleeping for a large proportion of the time it is being queried. I would expect to see no sleep at all, if regular querying had an effect on it. What I'm instead seeing is periods of 20-40 minutes of sleep, then about 10...
