Idea: fill it with transparent oil. Would mess up optics though, but maybe good enough. I have this on my M3DM, every day. Another issues is that it forms ice in cold weather. Really sloppy engineering.

Yes yes, tesla is perfect in every way. And all those issues they still have after 12 years of development don't count, we just close our eyes and don't say everyone. You also have many apple devices, don't you? I had a minimum of 6 software related issues in first 3 days I have the car, from...

Ok, let's then put it this way. Let's say sentry is somehow actually using 300W. Then 500W is missing. Actual charging if the battery is not wasteful. I work with batteries, I know. What's wasteful, is pre-heating before every charging session. So what I suspect in this case is: sentry is...

Power supply does not consume what's written on it. For computer to waste 800W, it should be a huge loud system. For comparison, typical home A/C is around 800W. Also, typical multi-fan video card is around 100W. And that "neural board" from tesla has a TDP of 72W at full FSD load, or 36W per...

Would you mind to post a picture of that processor board and make a guess the TDP (how much power it may use)? I think it will be 10W. There is nothing "powerful" in this car, especially when not driving in FSD mode. There is no reason to consume this much energy, and it is actually not possible...

I have a simple question, is it heating the battery, and if not, where else the energy goes to. Also tesla MCU is 10W max, judging from thw size of cooling solution it has. Perhaps you have no idea what Watt is? None of you seem to have the slightest clue how it works, you just repeat some PR...

So I got three answers, and none of you seem to understand technical part of it. I know what "awake" is, and I know how much power it can use. It's not 800W. 800W can be used only if A/C was running, or if battery was being heated in this "awake" state. Since none of those are needed for...

Where are 800W wasted exactly? Which component consumes such high energy, and why exactly, and how is such waste of energy justified? "Car being awake" is not an answer, it's incompetency.

Listen. I get it. Sentry mode causes a chain of events that ends up eating 800W. But my last question was WHY, and you seem to go in circles and not answering this. Perhaps someone else, with some technical knowledge, knows. I will do another charge this night to test with sentry off.

Yes, I asked why it is using so much power, and you have not answered. Cameras don't use this much of energy, "being awake" as well. The only explanation would be if battery was being constantly heated. And if it is, it's a bad design. Battery does nott need to be warm to use cameras. It's not...

So you are saying it's just a bad design that some cameras somehow force it to use 800W on average? I hope I have not triggered anyone.

Lithium batteries should be ok up to -20C with limited power. And I for sure don't need all 350kW on icy road. Only for charging you need it above freezing. To compare, I have a celeron server at home with EIGHT 4k cameras, doing motion detection and object retection. Also RAID5, running home...

I am not using an app, the car is not connected. I am only logging my power consumption. Yes it charges at 10kW for those 5 minutes, and swithes off for the rest 55 minutes. Which gives 0.8kWh per hour, o r just 800W average. Precondition is off, and even if it was on, I don't see why it would...

Just bought an european 2021 model 3. Was charging over night (-5C here) and noticed that after it charged, it was still cycling the charger every hour for 5 minutes, taking 0.8kWh each time, which equates to 800W constant draw. What the hell? Why is it taking so much power when just sitting...
