Every morning my car show's super high energy use before it's even moved

Does everyone's car do this? Every morning (I'm in San Diego so 60 degrees at night; car in garage and plugged in), I unplug my car, and back out of my driveway and look down to see the energy usage start at 1,500+ Wh/M. My Commute is only 3 miles, so the usage drops as I go, but still by the time I get to work the Wh/M average has only dropped to about 400 Wh/m. If I keep driving longer, it slowly returns to my overall average of about 290 wh/m (very conservative driver).

Is it normal to show the huge starting number right after unplugging your car? It's been doing this since I picked it up 3 months ago, so assume it's normal but though i'd ask.

thanks!

It's pretty normal. Once you open the door, the HVAC turns on. It will also start conditioning the battery if needed. All that energy counts towards 0 miles... So...

Try using your app to warm things up so it pulls from the land line.
