Most Tesla owners probably plug their cars in everyday as recommended by the manufacture and have never seen more than about 10 miles of phantom drain no matter how long the car may have been parked. Here is why. Unless things have changed, it is my understanding the charge level is topped off when the traction battery drops by around 3% or 10 miles for the 2018 LR Model 3. The car could have topped off the battery one or many times, while parked and plugged in, so the actual phantom drain would be hidden from the casual observer. If the in car displayed the date and times of the last 10 charge session, the owner would get a better understanding of the actual phantom drain or at least how many times the car topped off since the last driving session. I am hoping the new version 3 Tesla Wall Connector eventually helps owners better understand how much power is used by the plugged into vehicle. During these covid days many more Tesla cars are probably sitting in the garage plugged in for an extended periods of time.
