Battery drain

I’ve had my car for about a month and when I park at home overnight, I usually lose about 1% of battery at most a day. I had to leave my car at a friends house last night and battery drained 8%. Sentry mode is off and summons off by the way. Any other reason why battery will lose the 8% in 24 hours?
 
Joking aside, I had that same problem with my MY with a 14xxx VIN. I don’t know for sure what Tesla did, but they definitely fixed it. I went from 1.5% loss daily to something closer to 0.25% or less.

I had noticed that my car would turn on and off fairly frequently (I could hear it from the garage). I brought my car in for a problem with the touchscreen, which seems unrelated. I did mention that the car was constantly waking up from sleep when I dropped it off.

They fixed the screen issue, but the Service Advisor also mentioned that the technician « updated the car’s firmware », and he wasn’t referring to a software update.

Others might be more knowledgeable, but it sounded like what manages the car itself could have had issues. Could be worth setting up a mobile appointment and having your car diagnosed to figure out why it’s draining.
