I just did the MCU2 upgrade.
I was on full energy saving mode before and not always connected - range mode. I had forgot about the increased vampire drain but also wasn't sure mine would be as effected since they talk about pre Q2/2015 being the issue.
My early 5/2015 - last week before LTE - has noticeably increased vampire drain. It seems to be at 3-4 kWh per day. I don't have it on an energy monitor but just based on mileage lost and this was in a 70 degree garage. No background apps.
I have been working remote and don't drive much so the vampire really hurts. And I am one of those energy nerds where it isn't the money that I care about. I have a large solar array and am inching closer to net zero energy despite 2 EVs. So the 1000 kwh a year really hurts.
I was thinking is there anyway to induce deep sleep or is that still a thing with older cars and MCU2? I have to think there is some way to do it especially for long stretches without driving. Is there an anti-brick mode. My wife prefers we drive in her Model 3 if we go somewhere together so I frequently go days without driving my car.
If the used market wasn't so crazy right now, I would probably get an EV without vampire drain....
