I decided to run a little test of the vampire drain while away for Thanksgiving. So, I left the car plugged in, but set the charge limit down to 60% (car was at 79%). I checked range daily via the iPhone app.
Start: 235 Rated Miles
Day 1: 230 (~56 watts)
Day 2: 228 (~19 watts)
Day 3: 225 (~24 watts)
Day 4 - 10: 225 (<2 watts)
I was wondering if the app just stopped updating after day 3, but when I got back to the car I confirmed that it really was at 225 displayed on the dash. The car woke up immediately, with no sign of being in deep sleep, so I'm not sure how they got the power use so low.
Does it pull from plug power for the vampire loads? It didn't look like it on the first 3 days. Unfortunately, I can't measure what was pulled from the plug, and I wanted the option of remotely triggering a charge to be sure the car was ready when I got back. If I run this test again, I'll leave the car unplugged.
