I was using TezLab but I'm pretty sure it was contributing to my excess phantom drain at the time. I saw something about them updating it soon to add additional "sleep" settings. But in their FAQ, they mention that when they detect your phone moving, they ping your car to check its state (driving or sleeping). If its driving, then the app starts a "trip" in the app that it later logs the data to.
So my thought was that if I'm carrying my phone with me and I'm walking around at work, it seems like it would be pinging the car an awful lot. I believe this is true because while I was using the app, I noticed my car was rarely "sleeping" (when I open the Tesla app, I rarely saw the "Waking Up.." at the bottom).
I've heard that TeslaFi is better in this respect. They seem to have some kind of sleep settings you can use.. maybe to block off certain parts of the day so it doesnt bother pinging the car. In any case, I decided I'm happy just seeing the "Last Trip" data on the screen. I dont need to log all that crap at the expense of 15+ miles of drain per day.

Not without your request.
We periodically check your car for certain data - the drive state (Park, Drive, Reverse), Battery Reading, and Odometer. Active controls are only done at your request in the app, unlock doors for example.
Location data is from your phone and we never do anything more than looking at what drive state the car is in to figure out how and when to automatically start your trip.

Was looking at TeslaFi. There are four versions of Model 3 listed and none look familiar. 210, 210D, 220, 220D...anyone understand this?
Should be 310, 310D, 220, 220D in the drop down list. So 310 for LR, 220 for SR and D for dual. So everything is 310 right now.
If you are going to use TeslaFi be sure to set up the basic sleep function to reduce any vampire drain from the app. You can use my user name for a referral which will extend your free trial from 2 weeks to 4 weeks.
