Here is an article that explains it: Your Tesla can now detect your tire wear and tread depth - here's howGreat list
I wonder how this detection is done by the car?
and a thread of people discussing it: 2021.44.5 Uneven Tire Wear Detection
I'm fine with that. For the last 4 years or so, I dreaded seeing an update notice, thinking "what did they break or make worse this time?"
I would also have rephrased this: “AP1 MCU1 people are “free” from any update that is potentially damaging currently running system (2021.24.28). I find this has some great benefits from previous versions as the cold weather improvements are really helping out.
No, I was more pointing out that even though everyone is so interested in the upgrade of the MCU, that current situation with no upgrade can be beneficial as well. What the cold weather improvement have given has been the fact that in this winter I have had much better consumption compared to previous years. Not to say it was colder than before…

Did anything change recently (firmware/MCU2 upgrade/Dashcam install, etc) ?

So around the time that you upgraded to 2021.24.28 from 2020.48.37.8?

Same here. Sometimes dropping up to 4 points of range per day. Impossible to leave the car unattended for more than a couple of weeks unless it is plugged in. When I first bought it, it had been parked for more than two months and no issue.
Asked Tesla about it and they said it was expected behavior, and that by accessing the app daily to check on the battery I was making things worse, because I was not letting the system stay in deep sleep mode.
Sounds like baloney but… that is all I got.

Sudden increase in drain, if no pumps are running, could be the pack contactors are failing followed by the 12v. It happened to me. I was able to see it coming by checking SMT.
If course, the SvC tried to tell me the CAN bus reader killed the HV pack.
A month later a finally got the car back.

After many attempts to get them to READ the the Tesla SB and SL I printed out and placed in car, they determined the contactors had failed. The pack was pulled, and the lid was peeled of the back end, and contactors replaced. I still have my original pack, carefully stored and doing well at 265RM.
I had already replaced the 12v myself.
It took months for me to find and replace all the bits they left off the pack and aerosheilds.
And this was at the best rated SvC I could find, done two years ago, before supply chain and currentTesla SvC "sugarness"
Thanks for more insight.
I knew the 12V being weak can cause more vampire drain but did not consider a bad contactor causing this issue. I suppose a bad contactor would close/open frequently at will?
Knowing now what you are describing, I think I might have the solution since my pack is scheduled for replacement ( see Wiki - Sudden Loss Of Range With 2019.16.x Software ) and that would hopefully fix any contactor issue. While the pack is being replaced, I was planning to ask them to check my 12V battery as well. So, in my case, it looks like both culprits you had mentioned will be out of the picture.
