Tesla service centers have a record of not knowing anything about what's in the firmware updates. Get the update and see if it helps, because it probably does.You know whats funny...
I just dropped my car off and asked them w
If this new BMS update improves the vampire drain. They said no. You will not notice anything different with this update. Its just a minor firmware update.
So... idk... its nice to hear from others that there is actually an improvement.. but.. tesla is saying the opposite
“Tesla” isn’t saying that (officially). A service advisor or tech who doesn’t know anything about it is saying that. They say lots of incorrect things. I wish Tesla trained their people to say “I don’t know” when they don’t know something rather than just saying the first answer that pops into their head.You know whats funny...

I don’t know either. But what I do know is “minor firmware updates” are installed OTA, they don’t require a trip to the service center.
Mine's all over the place. Some night's I lose 2-3 miles and other upwards of 10-12.
It doesn’t lose 20 miles/day. If someone’s Model 3 is losing 20 miles/day there is something wrong— either there is a defect or they’re connected to a third party app. Tesla says the car loses about 1% per day, which is 3 miles. That’s about what I’ve experienced. It’s a 310 mile car, so 3 miles is a like rounding error in the range. If that’s not acceptable for you, I hope you continue to enjoy your Volt.So is the "vampire" drain unique to Tesla? Are they running some heavy-duty components while the car is parked? Losing 20 miles a day would be quite a deceptive marketing for the battery range.
Why not zero?It doesn’t lose 20 miles/day.

After my car downloaded 32.2 last night, I am wondering if the vampire drain folks are seeing is because the car is sending or receiving a lot of data from "the mothership" thus causing the 12v to sag making the BMS decide to charge the 12v.Why not zero?
Because it’s a computer with a sophisticated system to protect its battery that costs five figures and is communicating with Tesla and responsive to your app. Think of how your iPhone loses charge even when you’re not using it, then think bigger. I don’t know why this bothers people so much— or is it just that people need something to complain about. Stop monitoring the car, leave it plugged in as Tesla recommends, and just enjoy the car.Why not zero?
Maybe because it ain't in the owners manual?Because it’s a computer with a sophisticated system to protect its battery that costs five figures and is communicating with Tesla and responsive to your app. Think of how your iPhone loses charge even when you’re not using it, then think bigger.

On page 111.Maybe because it ain't in the owners manual?
Ahhh...so it is...thanks!!On page 111.
Guess it would suck if you can't plug in and you are idle for long periods of time....parking lot for a trip, hike, etc. But yeah....its normal...plug-in and enjoy.Because it’s a computer with a sophisticated system to protect its battery that costs five figures and is communicating with Tesla and responsive to your app. Think of how your iPhone loses charge even when you’re not using it, then think bigger.

Which is about 1 kWh per day. Even at a high electricity rate of 25 cents/kWh like you may have in California, that’s about 25 cents/day (or 10 cents/day in Texas). This is why I wonder why it bothers some people so much. The concern seems overblown.Parked my model 3 with it plugged in but not charging on 8/18 at 9pm with 203 miles. It is above the set 50% threshold.
6.5 days later.
8/25 at 10am Left with 173 miles
Loss of 4.6 miles per day on average.

I think 1 kWh is a lot of energy to be pissing away, that's all.Which is about 1 kWh per day.
