I have been battling weird vampire drain the past few weeks when cabin overheating protection was enabled. I noticed in the morning after finished charging, it would be about 2% below the set charge point. It happened to be the same time I started using the overheating protection feature. So I thought it's draining battery even tough the temp is below 100 degree F.
I finally figured out what was the issue. It got nothing to do with overheating feature. It's the climate control scheduling.
I happened to also pressed the schedule button just to poke around (Just got my M3 this year, so still figuring stuff out). That action of opening up the submenu activated the scheduling.
Just today, I pressed "setting" to bring up the schedule menu further. Both toggle switches were enabled. I then switch both off and exit the menu.
I then proceed to press "schedule" again just to confirm my setting (I have been plagued by random temp changes so I don't trust Tesla's SW that much). Guess what? The act of pressing "schedule" button activates the scheduling.
This is beyond just SW quality. It's a very stupid GUI design. How do I confirm my setting? Let me check? It's on! Let me turn it off. How do I confirm it's saved? Let me check. It's on again!!! WTF.
Whoever design this GUI should automatically gets the Darwin award...
Wait. Is it the act of pressing "schedule" activates the feature? Or is the feature never off??? It's like the schrodinger's cat. As long as you don't check, you can think of the feature as being both enable and disable.
