So I had to leave my car in the garage for 14 days. There was no phone with the Tesla app nearby. When I parked the car without plugging it in, the battery was at 81%.
After a week I was curious to see how the battery was holding up, so I checked with the Tesla app and it still showed a SoC of 81%.
When I returned after another week and got into the car, it showed 80%.
I was pleasantly surprised by the almost non-existent vampire drain. I was under the impression that the car would lose 0.5-1% per day, but without anything activated (sentry mode/cabin overheat protection) there was virtually no vampire drain.
I never had a chance to try that before. Has something changed in the software that reduces the vampire drain or is vampire drain an invention that Tesla haters came up with? What experiences do other people have?
Please note that this is the Model 3 forum. Let's try not to mix things up as other models might be different.
