11 miles of phantom in 53 hours and constant charge notifications?
- Thread starter bottomsup
- Start date
@bottomsup,
Well....that phantom drain is not totally unheard of in Very cold Temps. I’ve seen and had on average approx 3 miles per day at usually 40-50 F and as much as 9-10 miles a day in the 20’s.....(this unplugged at an airport for 4 days on average).
Can’t explain the constant Crazy Charging pushes though. I’ve had 50.6 afew days and haven’t seen this....it’s still new though.
Others can chime in.

The multiple charge notices has happened to me twice, last time in August. The car never seems to actually charge in any of the events.
I looked into it at the time and I found a few other people who also occurred the same but no one had a concrete reason for why it happens. In the end, it was just determined it was a bug. As I have not seen it in months, I assumed the bug was fixed but apparently not. The good news it just goes away on its own.
Since you are away, it may continue until you return from Europe but no need to worry about it (other than all the annoying notices on the phone).

Literally you could disable the notifications until you come back. I would be curious to see if the car is in fact charging or if the notifications are being sent in error.

I've the same thing going on since upgrading to 50.6. I have received 20+ of these notifications with the car plugged in for the past 34 hours. It has lost 11 miles in that period. The car has been parked in 60+ deg temperature.

I have an iPad with notifications off for charge completion and an iPhone with notifications on. I get these numerous completion notifications only on the iPhone.
The stats app is also showing a large amount of phantom drain given the ambient temp. 71 ambient and 13 miles in 66 hours
Reboot car when you get back to it. Hold trackballs in til you see the T appear for a full reset.

Turn the notifications off in your app.
13 miles in 66 hours isn't a lot of phantom drain when your car is constantly awake trying to charge. Most of your phantom drain is probably caused by the charging keeping your car awake .
Go to your app and select "stop charging".
Then stop checking on the car and let it go to sleep for a day.

I only see "START CHARGING".
I turned off all notifications and I've now lost 6 more miles in about 5 hours since I last posted. The temperature is 74ºF. I am going to unplug the charge cable to see if that makes a difference.

Oh yes..by all means unplug the charge cable. I thought you were away from the house. Make sure the car isn't maintaining the interior temp.

Settings not in maintain temp.
I've been home, just not driving much. I think the OP with similar issue said he was away.
Something isn’t right and it doesn’t look like excessive phantom drain.
If you can’t reboot try moving the limit way down so it’s not teeter tottering with SOC being at the limit. Then monitor it closely.
I’d reboot if you can get someone to do it.
Also you could try initiating a charge by moving limit up. Sometimes that has cleared a weird state for me.
Could be something whacko with 12V battery too.
Actually might be onto something here. Maintain temperature is new in this release. Even though you may think it is not on, it may have been defaulted on by the release. I’d toggle it on then off. Or better yet, do that then reboot. Maintaining temperature, even in a moderate climate, could definitely consume the kWh.

Had the exact same thing with 50.5. Went away with 50.6. Maybe just needs a reboot as others have mentioned?
