interesting if not actually massively useful.
I agree with "interesting", I do go data-digging from time to time but I definitely find the Scheduler worthwhile.

Great, thanks DJP31, really appreciate it.Mine's DJP31 if you want to use it. It gives loads of great info, interesting if not actually massively useful. Best bit is checking on software updates across the fleet!
Another thing I noticed was the vampire drain on the battery seems a lot as I think I lost about maybe 5 or more miles while the car was parked from 6pm.
Make sure you have "energy saving" turned on in the car's settings (the few seconds penalty this incurs at startup is barely noticeable).
You can consider also selecting "always connected=no", though that does impose a substantial penalty (~30 sec) on using the mobile app when the car is asleep.
I have two apps i.e Tesla app and Remote S. Nice thing about Remote S is that it let's you use voice control via Siri but if it is giving any unnecessary wake up instructions then I'll have to remove it.having multiple applications is likely to prevent sleep, as they will all be causing the car to communicate at different moments.
One option: Change password (in MyTesla). That will deactivate all APPs, leave it like that for a couple of days and see if you are still getting excess Vampire Drain
I did that so let's see if that resolves the issue. BTW how do you tell when your car was manufactured? I only know it was registered in September. The reason being Tesla said all Model S sold after June 2018 will have the updated key fob to prevent those cloning attacks by hackers, otherwise Model S owners will need to ask Tesla for replacement key fobs.Pretty sure I have the updated key fob, I have the passive entry disabled in any case.
BTW as a side note coming from the BMW the only thing I'm really missing is the Active Steering feature. It's simply amazing to have especially on tight London roads. Just makes turning in tight spots so effortless. Wish Tesla would introduce it in their next major refresh!
So yesterday I called Tesla service and asked about when I would receive updates as I thought that Tesla pushes updates via their LTE but the Tesla rep advised me to make sure I have the car connected to Wifi in order to receive them. Now I don't have the option of being able to get my car connected to my home wifi so I'm thinking of getting a mobile hotspot. Anyone in a similar situation?
When the car was last in for service (a month or two back) I asked them to look into it. They said "Log shows FAILED every time", I have no idea if they actually did anything, but no updates since then.
That's exactly what they told me as well that they can see the updates failed a few times so I guess I will have to get a mobile hotspot and see if that does the trick.
If @WannabeOwner's failed whilst on wifi I wouldn't have thought you plugging into a wifi hotspot would make any difference. Sounds like there's something else going on. I remember reading that some Model X owners were having problems with updates and it was because they had faulty door sensors, and any fault like that would cause the update to fail.
Additionally, Tesla staff can push updates to your car.
