I woke up this morning and was excited to drive my M ≡ Performance, but the battery was completely dead!
Last night in the garage, I took the kids in the car and I was showing off the new “fart” update. Lots of giggles with some father and son bonding moments
Here is the problem (Flaw). My youngest son was in the back seat. The three of us exited the car at the same time and apparently he didn’t use enough force to close his door all the way and it remained “ajar” all night. As a result, the car NEVER went to sleep, and the radio, interior/exterior lights, A/C etc..were all ON all night long which resulted in the drain. I did not have it plugged in obviously.
Tesla needs to address this issue. The app should notify you if a door remains open after a certain time. Better yet, the app should notify you ANYTIME a door is open or opened. That way it will also serve as a notification of potential thief.
I’m glad this happened in my garage and not on a road trip somewhere.
I finally got use to the fact that you don’t really turn off this car..you put in Park and just get out and walk away. BUT, if a door is not fully closed the vehicle will stay on!
Please Fix this with the next update Tesla. Easy fix to a potentially big problem. IMHO
Thanks..
