Did you try a reboot?
Also can you park your car some other place overnight to see if you can replicate whats happening or somehow it is related to being connected to wifi which is somehow keeping the car awake.

Yes, tried both soft and hard reboots, but it didn't help. Not sure i can leave my car somewhere else, but maybe I'll see if I can try that to rule out the wifi issue.
Stats app is showing that last night I lost 8.1 miles in 15.4 hours (this was without checking either the Tesla or Stats app at all)
I changed around the location of wifi in the house and the car didn't connect for a while. It didn't update, but I had no more vampire drain than usual.
Also turned off WiFi before I left the car and it still has the same amount of drain. This is getting frustrating

Adding to the thread with very odd behavior that just started today.
Ambient temp here in Columbus, OH was around 20-30 today so fairly cold but we're in winter and hvae had cold days so I would've observed this by now.
I came out of work and noticed I only had 98 miles left. I wish I had monitored how much I had when I walked into work but I want to say the car lost quite a bit. After work I go to the gym and am parked outside for 2hr 15 mins or so... I lost 5 miles of phantom drain.
Sentry is off, climate off, etc...
Not good.

I am on 2019.40.50.7, charged to 90% Sunday evening. Didn't drive till this morning, so thats about almost 5 days and still had 89% this morning. Parking in a closed parking garage, temps around 50-60F and no wifi and sometimes even no LTE. So maybe not being able to connect to anything, it goes to a deeper sleep?

I'm on 2019.40.50.7 and the car is draining about 20 miles per day of range with no driving.
San Diego, sitting in a garage that is about 60F day and night. I don't check on the car more than once or so daily through the app, although Sentry Mode is on currently (lots of construction workers right now, I want it on even at home).
Just got the car about a month ago, so this is the only software version I have for basis of reference.

It'll probably bring it down to an average of 25-40W, so 2.5 to 4 rated miles per day. As has been described elsewhere here, there are various configuration changes you can make to really try to reduce it further (turn off data sharing, USB drives, WiFi, maybe mobile access, etc.). You might be able to get it to a mile or two per day but YMMV.

2.5 to 4 per day would be acceptable. I have turned off Sentry mode while at home, we'll see how that affects things over the next few days.
Thanks for the info, definitely a different beast from my old 2013 P85.

Thought I understood when the traction battery was conditioned but with a resent firmware update that has changed. If you own a dual motor M3 and the temps are cold you could use up to around 14KW when conditioning the cabin So in 10 minutes you could use around 2.3KWH which is around 10 Miles of range. I am using my Scan My Tesla app to try and figure out when the traction battery is heated given the newer firmware updates. The only thing I have learned so far is the new Camp Mode appears to only heat the cabin which makes sense.

I just remember all the people on here who were claiming that this 25W is to help “preserve the battery.” And: “Tesla knows best.” Lol. There is actually no reason for it, except it was not a design requirement for it to be low, AFAIK. Should have used a low power timer system to take care of the 12V charging. Elon probably did not want to pay for the extra couple bucks of hardware, since he wants to get rid of the 12V battery eventually anyway...or some crazy logic like that!

I followed the advice above after reporting in last week, and I can say that with Sumon off and after rebooting the car that I'm now losing about 1 mile of range per day (parked in a garage that is about 60F day and night).
ICE waste more.
As other car makers are starting to make large battery EVs it's becoming clear that whatever Tesla's hiccups are, they seem to have a much better handle on energy management than anyone else. The iPace, eTron, and Taycan all have battery packs close in size to the Model S/X but their range is pathetic by comparison.
