    My Experience Taking my Model Y down to 0%

    Fi Finally got time to look your numbers in details. Your January to March & June data actually were similar to mine (around 310 Wh/mile) based on charges received by the car. My car kept the similar pattern where your consumption went way down (missing data points or from superchargers?)...

    My Experience Taking my Model Y down to 0%

    You have a great efficient 2023 Tesla Y LR. What is you life time Wh/mile as reported by the car? I have the exact same model/setup car (but Austin built) with similar mileage. I can never got even close to the mileage as yours at its most optimal condition. Mine averaged 261 wH/m on the...

    My Y has been losing 2-5% per day in "standby energy usage"

    Is your trip Wh/mile reported by the car getting worse or better? My 23 Y long range still shows the random "vehicle standby" consumption after good reporting trips. I'm 4 days away from 1st year anniversary of ownership with 15133 miles. The odometer reported driving efficiency for the...

    Vampire drain again?

    I’m still confused about it. The app provided the numbers but the numbers matched with the numbers shown on car screen after charging at home based on my observations. My total charge shown also included a few charges received from either public parks (L2 - no smart) and hotel L2 charges. So...

    Vampire drain again?

    Thanks for all the explanations. I got so much useful information on the TMC from helpful people, much more than directly from Tesla. Sometimes their helps just too generic or pointless to be useful. We do like our Tesla, pretty much everything except the real range per charge & of course...

    Vampire drain again?

    That would make Tesla’s trip reporting even more optimal (rosy). In the typical summer vacation travels, stop & go traffics just are so often. Switching the car to “P” in long traffic stops would make the power consumption go away from the trip, thus making car looking even more efficient for...

    Vampire drain again?

    The total kWh is from App under Charge Stat tab. I installed L3 wall charger at home garage before the car delivery. It has all daily charge info. The power (kWh) delivered for each charge session matches with shown on car screen when the cord was detached based on my observation. Started...

    Vampire drain again?

    Have spent so many times looked into the Tesla SOC and "Vehicle Standby" usage (?) over last three months for my 2023 MYLR, I just wish Tesla will implement a more transparent & more robust reporting system. The Tesla cars indeed has a very technically advanced system and most of the...

    Vampire drain again?

    I would guess the SOC drops after driving is attributed under the "Vehicle Standby (VS) " consumption under Parking tab. Unless Tesla specifically states what exact is the "Vehicle Standby" consumption is, I guess that it is just a BMS Recalibration "buffer" number to cover its...

    Canadian Owner and Dissapointed with new MY LR Range

    While understand your feeling, your MYLR power usage/range is probably pretty normal for the 2023 model, at least compared to my 2023 MYLR built in Austin. It would be almost impossible to achieve the advised range at ideal condition, even less than in the cold north. I had my 2023 Y LR almost...

    My Y has been losing 2-5% per day in "standby energy usage"

    They are what I expected after reading all these Vehicle Standby (VS) related discussions in this forum & many others. For my 23 YLR, the VS consumption would fill in the most of the % gap between kWh charged to the car (18% more) and reported trip/odometer kWh consumption since I hardly use...

    Any finding from your Tesla service appointment?

    The DOJ Tesla probe has expanded to include EV driving ranges

    While I’m happy with my 23 YLR, I’m also a little disappointed with Tesla on it efficiency reporting & true range. Being a front runner for “gas saving” & “tax credit saving”, I wished Tesla being more honest about its range. I bought the car 24 hours after price drop in January & had told...

    My Y has been losing 2-5% per day in "standby energy usage"

    Is Tesla able to pinpoint your problem? My local Tesla service center could not identify any faulty for my car. I have not able to find real solution in the TMC forum except the faulty sensor related. My BMS trip and "since last charge" reportings were often too "optimal " at times so I...

    My Y has been losing 2-5% per day in "standby energy usage"

    While I like the Tesla, I wish it improves its BMS before the widely general public adaption or it will get a lot of negative comments/complaints. Just this afternoon, I got an exceptional trip Wh/mile for the hilly profile (6 ridges) on my way home (210 Wh/mile for 23 miles) while only 5 kWh...

    My Y has been losing 2-5% per day in "standby energy usage"

    Note that all these features, screen time, sentry mode, pre-conditioning, summon mode, cabin protection, and mobile app are listed separately from Vehicle Standby (see photo). So I have no idea what VS consumption is used for besides being a BMS “dump/block hole/balancer” number.

    My Y has been losing 2-5% per day in "standby energy usage"

    The "Parking" consumption continued below 20% based on the records for my attempted BMS recalibration (battery lowered to 6% & then charged to 100%). BTW, It did not change anything for my car range (314 miles) or BMS reporting. SOC @ 24%, 10.3% parking, 7.5% VS SOC @ 21%, 10.5% parking, 7.5%...

    My Y has been losing 2-5% per day in "standby energy usage"

    2023.32.6 for my 2023 MYLR. I started to pay attention of the VS since 2023.26.X software upgrade. After 1.5 month close attention (taken more than 100 photos to record) for the VS & parking consumption, I'm just accepting that it is part of the BMS game right now. It is just part of 15%...

    My Y has been losing 2-5% per day in "standby energy usage"

    I'm starting to believe that "Vehicle standby" consumption reported by the car maybe a "game" played by the car's Battery Management System (BMS). As I posted earlier, my 2023 MYLR started to have these high numbers while parked when Tesla pushed out the new software upgrade by suggested 80%...

    My Y has been losing 2-5% per day in "standby energy usage"

    Looks like most of us are not WiFi related. For me, it has happened everywhere (home garage, office parking lot, dentist office, shopping mall, school roadside, Tesla service center parking lot) in random times (after drive & after charging, morning /afternoon). The randomness is truly...

    My Y has been losing 2-5% per day in "standby energy usage"

    Changed account password did NOT help. On my way home on last Thursday, my car again had a 2% "vehicle standby" jump in less than 30 minutes in a parking lot near the Tesla service center so I stopped at the center and talked to the service adviser. He said again their remote test shown no...

    Initial Cost Per Mile over first 10k

    Not quite sure about your location, but there is additional gas tax added to the EV for a lot of states. For example, Tennessee has a $100 a year gas tax now, $200 for 2024 & 2025, then $274 beyond. If you added this (gas) cost to it, it may change your numbers. In my opinion, EV is great for...

    Bogus "Gas Savings"

    I wish I can use this to justify my potential cybertruck purchase to my better half. But safety (a tank protection) for kids approach may do it. Economy surely makes no sense for its intended usage for me.

    Bogus "Gas Savings"

    Do not forget the “-saving” from extra “gas tax” one may have to pay for owning a Tesla. In the great state of Tennessee, we will soon to pay $274 a year extra (based on 1000 gal annual consumption of 0.27 c per gal gas tax). Come from a Prius to a Y, I would guess my real saving to own the Y...

    Shout out for Discount Tire

    Another thumb up vote for Discount Tire (@ Knoxville, TN). While driving @ 75 mph on interstate this morning, I heard a pop noise around the passage rear tire area. I thought the tire picked & ejected a rock on the road. But the car warned me very low tire pressure so to pull over as safe as...

    My Y has been losing 2-5% per day in "standby energy usage"

    A few days before my appointment this Friday, Tesla tried to close my service by sending me a message as attached (see photos). It states that power drains is caused by car not going to sleep due to 3rd-party apps. I do NOT have any 3rd-party apps unless there is a spyware I do not know about...

    My Y has been losing 2-5% per day in "standby energy usage"

    Black-sky, it is definitely puzzling to me. It is still happening in my car right now but randomly without any logic/pattern (maybe Alien taking over?) . On my current charge circle. Unplugged from my wall connector on Sunday morning @ 80% and 0% power consumption for the next 4-5 hours...

    My Y has been losing 2-5% per day in "standby energy usage"

    Thanks for the pointer. Will stop by local Tesla service center to check out the passive restraint system sensor today. I also turned off the car power (under safety mode), climate, & cabin over-hear protection after parking this morning (60 F). Again, my car showed a great trip efficiency...

    My Y has been losing 2-5% per day in "standby energy usage"

    **A little long reading but I’m trying to find answers*** We ordered a model Y-LR a day after Tesla dropped the price in mid-January and received the car delivery two week later on January 29. Only added factory hitch to the car due to the tax credit limit at that time. We were happy with the...
