POLL: What vampire drain are you seeing on your 3?

Curious what everyone is experiencing for vampire drain

Rebuilding my car right now and it has lost less than 1 mile since I brought it home 5 days ago. The 12 volt is not connected right now, so I know this doesn’t count. But this goes to show you that the HV battery doesn’t drain that easily when not doing anything. Oh, I live in NY and the temperatures are below 32

Mine range has actually increased from the time I charge to when I leave the garage in the morning. I think that can be explained because it charges in the middle of the night when it's cold and by morning it's a few degrees warmer.

My car used to do just 1-2 miles a day but now it’s been more like 3-4 miles per day.

This poll is a little flawed as I see a drain of 1% per day. In miles, that's going to be different for me than it is for you.

Well, as all loads except A/C and heater use low voltage battery, it is no surprise that your battery almost has no vampire drain with disconnected 12V battery. HV battery practically has no vampire drain at all.

I have no idea. I drive really

1-2% is what the manual says and it's consistent with my experience.

Mine has been horrible as of late, and I'm not sure why. I checked yesterday and was at 197. I just came across this thread and figured I'd log in and see where it's at (I've been out of town and the car is sitting in my garage) and it's now at 189. Lost 8 miles in a day. The day before it was at 206. So for being out of town for a couple of days, I've lost 17 miles. Too bad we're not talking about weight loss here! LOL

If it's 2 do I chose 1-2 or 2-3?

Depend if it’s 1.9 vs 2.1

I parked my car outside, unplugged, in the cold for the first time since owning it. The overnight temperatures were around 20F. I lost 2-3% of the battery while parked for 8 hours. This was a P3D+.
