I recently noticed my stand by energy usage is much higher than 1%/day when I left the car unplugged at the airport for 7 days. During this time it lost 32.8% from just vehicle standby (4.5%/day). (attached file, very dusty; its mostly the lighting I swear!!)
Sentry mode was off, no 3rd party, did not check the car often (I think twice near the end of our trip), not sure the status of wifi, cabin heat protection was on, but I switched it to off (and that has it's own bucket).
I've contacted service and they did a remote diagnostic and found the battery to be 'normal health' so they close the ticket (I'm still talking about it with them).
I'm trying to figure out; this can't be how the car operates right? This isn't normal? The car seems to be okay if I don't drive for the day, but after I drive it starts draining like crazy. The car recommends to plug in the car to reduce energy loss, I've done this and the % usage still went up by 2% for the rest of the day. The vehicle standby goes up while plugged in!
I have feeling this has actually been going on for a while because this 'Park' tab on the energy app is somewhat new (we've had the car for 1 year- its a '22, new), but I noticed on the battery usage there would be a big dip after going somewhere and leaving again. Is this dip normal? Usually this dip is .5% or maybe 1% (which could be normal usage) but I have a feeling that most of the dip is from standby energy usage (though obviously you'd expect a dip from precondition/cabin protection/etc). For example, I've attached the graph from this morning. I did 2 trips, was gone for less than 2 hours (about 90min) and the standby energy usage is 1.1%. Everything else is 0% (for the 'park' tab). Based on the vertical drops you can tell when I got back in the car. (around the 4mile and 6 mile, though curiously there isn't one at the 2 miles drive point). (this is to the same place btw, so about .5% of battery of driving one way).
So; in conclusion I feel like I'm taking crazy pills and I'm curious if anyone else notices a dip on their battery % graphs when getting back in the car and if the amount of dip is normal. Secondly, I feel like the standby energy usage shouldn't go up while plugged in but I don't really know what that energy bucket is tracking anyway.
