Makes sense with a 2017. That is what we saw on our 2017 X as well. Our 2018 3 has less. And our 2022 Y has virtually none.
For nearly 7 days with gear guard on that’s really impressive.Did another, longer test at the airport. Since this was longer, rounding of the state of charge display should have a smaller impact.
Temperatures: 40's - 70's
Gear Guard: on (380 videos recorded!)
Time elapsed: 163 hours and 15 minutes (6.8 days)
Starting state of charge: 80%
Ending state of charge: 68%
Calculated average power consumption: 99.2 watts (pretty consistent with last natural test)
I will note that my estimated efficiency on the way home from the airport was lower than average (in all purpose mode, heigh at low). Could have been due to some battery conditioning or heating.
Pretty good right?
Getting better
The 380 videos...are most of them someone casually walking by...or an actual "casing" of the vehicle?Did another, longer test at the airport. Since this was longer, rounding of the state of charge display should have a smaller impact.

I didn't go through them very closely. None of the thumbnails looked like people checking out the vehicle. I've definitely seen clips of people scoping it out at other places. Maybe it is that I was backed in or that people at the airport are in a hurry, tired, or both... Or maybe I was tired after 12 hours of travel and just didn't notice. ?
Good enough
Tesla used to have vampire drain issues as well, but in the last few years of software updates, it’s all but a non-issue. Left my 2018 model 3 at airport parking for 5 days and can’t back with 0 loss.
No, it isn't. That's still nearly 2% per day or 2.5 kWh/day.
That’s not ‘just’ vampire drain. That’s including gear guard on which is recording basically every time someone passes by with its surround view camera system and turning on the interior screen to let people know it’s recording. Tesla which now has virtually no vampire drain has substantial drain when sentry mode is on. On a 3 day stay in a hotel with it on I lost 5% a day. So 15% in 3 days. If it was off it would have been less than 1%.
Fair. But until we see Rivian with less than 1% per day without Gear Guard I won't be satisfied. And to date I'm pretty sure no one has seen that low.
I’ve seen folks report numbers under 1% elsewhere but have not seen that with our truck. I did estimate 0.6%/24 hrs while in shipping mode once but would really need a few days in that mode to be sure.
