That's the same thing that all of my Insteon ( home automation) products do. They publish everything to Insteon servers making it a LOT easier for programmers an the like to develop the Insteon app.

Indeed. GSM phantom drain is what I would consider no phantom drain. Its so miniscule that.....
Anyway. I currently work for a/the major Tesla carrier network on this very project. I don't think I have to say the name of my company...as for security reasons...I can't.
Anywhoo...we are currently painstakingly working through the Tesla to 5G fiasco of a marriage - in attempts to keep power consumption/usage to a bare minimum. Its a challenge, however we are making great progress so far.
I think our cars upload information to Tesla which they can use to train their neural net models. sometime I observe that almost 1GB of data is uploaded.

Yeah...that's about right. The OP has something else going on causing massive fandom drain.
Maybe his car is sleep walking at night. LOL
Interesting you mentioned Insteon.
I'm using Insteon all over the house as well and I've written an app to do geofencing for my Insteon devices (e.g., open garage door when I get close to home -- I won't mention the name of my app because some moderators don't like developers to plug their apps). Their event-base state update does not work reliably (if ever) and I have to query the state. I contacted them and they seem to be aware of the problem.

Yes indeed. Its a lot of data going out. Its all good in my opinion because it appears to lead to some wonderful updates and changes.
AND it costs me nothing for that data to get to Tesla...lol
I didn’t check, as I assumed it wouldn’t any more than normal since car was off, but I can check. I also had it plugged in to my HPWC, so wonder if that made any difference. I’ll check that as well.

I don't have an issue with my Insteon device status updates at all. Its instant and flawless on my end so far ( so far = a long time ). I started off with x10 devices. Those were a nightmare.
Anywhoo…..your posts are very informative. Thanks.
Actually, just checked and did have enable door open notification on. @rawmean what’s the time after open it will tell you?
Back to the problem OP raised. Here's my current solution: I use the 'walk-away door lock' with confirmation sound on. This way, my M3 won't make the beep sound if there's any door or trunk not properly closed. I just need to hear the beep before I truly walk away from my M3. Search the text 'walk-away' in your manual for detail.
I agree that it would be nice if the Tesla app could notify you if you are away from the car for a period of time with any door/trunk left open.

Same here. I always listen for the beep as well. But that one time I forget, would be a nice feature to get a notification.
I also find the "door/trunk/frunk open" notification useful when my car is in the service center because it indicates that they have actually started working on my car. Of course, this works only if they don't disable the mobile connectivity.
What? And waste energy all night? Yikes.

Geez, Clearly new to Tesla....keeping your car plugged in has been been a recommendation from Company for years (30% was awfully low too).
That was spirit of my post.
I think the boys went out after dad went to bed and played with the farts all night long.

Leaving it plugged in at all times is also what Tesla recommends to do.

Lol..Best explanation so far.
Hmmm, time to have a chat with the boyz. I did go to bed before them...
On the other forum there were a couple others that had left a door ajar that also prevented the car from going to sleep.
I'm now wondering if the car behaves differently if the rear doors are ajar vs the fronts? I have to test this.
I personally don't lock the car in my garage and don't like the alarm on off horn sound.
I will now pay more attention to the doors, make sure I plug in nightly and charge to 80%, chexk out the app mentioned above and hope for a native notification feature.
Oh, and also hide the spare key from the boys.
