tell them to go into the 12 volt battery in the frunk. That's what my professional installer did. Works like a charm. Always on and recording.

Are you talking about Model 3?
If they can't find OBD II port in the cabin.
And if they can't find the fuse box in the frunk, would you expect them to find the 12V there too
If you go to the frunk beaware that Tesla does not like drilling, cutting any of its components...

How about tracking down: door switch that turns on the lights as well as trigger unauthorized-door-opening Alarm.

the podcast Tesla Daily recently had a guest from MIT that is working with Tesla and some other manufacturers on their autonomous vehicles and he mentioned they have a Model 3 that they tore down and there is no OBDII

Ok. Have the firm data now!
Good news: better than I recalled.
Did test for exactly 4 days (within 1 minute!) with car unplugged from wall charger while I was away. Dual channel BlackVue 650 on during whole time 24x7.
After/Before screenshots:
212 (starting) - 184 (ending) = 28 miles / 4 days =
7 miles/day vampire drain car + dual cam dash cam.
Hope this is helpful.

Parking mode doesn't need wi-fi to function...only when you want to receive alerts or view recorded/live footage. In that case, the dashcam needs to be connected to Wi-Fi. I have a mobile hotspot in the car from freedom pop...free 1 gig per month:

That was meant as a rip on Tesla, since all their options are obscenely overpriced.
I want a dash cam in my car that just works whenever I am in the car and it is on. I don't want to have to press a button to start recording or anything. Just install it, forget it, and if a wreck ever happens, pull the memory card and look at it, use it to sue and get a fat settlement check and a new Tesla.
This isn't bad at all IMO. I feel like vampire drain is already going to be 3-5 mi/day anyway. Would love if someone does a test with and without dashcam running to account for vampire drain in a climate-controlled garage

A'-Lo-HA ! y'all
I've got two Blackvue dash cams (DR750-2CH & DR 650-2CH and a Garmin Speak on all the time in my S. Drain is about 5-6 miles a day in warm weather.

Yeah, that’s my experience.
