I might be really stupid, but I cannot find the sleep mode after I had the upgrade 5.8 and it also takes per night 4 miles off my range when parked in the garage so no difference to before (4.5).

How far away from the car are your keyfobs? If they're too close the car will not sleep. We had to move ours ~20ft away.Thank You huntjo, mnx, this setting in display was default. Is that the only setting, because I did not see any change in behavior or savings when parked overnight 6 PM to 7 AM?

on v5.0 I left my car unplugged for 13 days (296 hours) and lost 0.21 mi/hr temps between 50 and 63F
v5.6 I actually saw miles gained several times after my car was asleep for a couple of hours
haven't had 5.8 long enough for data pts but here is past firmware sleep/vamp losses
0.25 mi/hr v5.6 (n=21
0.31 mi/hr v5.0 (n=18
0.66 mi/hr v4.5 (n=31
0.58 mi/hr v4.4 (n=23
0.37 mi/hr v4.3 (n=14
1.12 mi/hr v4.2 (n=58
1.33 mi/hr v4.1 (n=28
1.75 mi/hr v4.0 (n=6
I am measuring my vampire loses through kwH and my one datapoint I have so far is higher than with 4.5.
I am keeping my car plugged in at 50% charge without driving it (I know!) figure I have to use my ICE car a little bit and it is raining.
Right now my data is showing 1.47kWh / day for 5.8 which is a higher vampire drain than 4.5 of 1.38kWh / day.
I'm quite surprised! Sure it is a little cooler than it was in September, but I don't see any vampire drain fixes.
Are you measuring with an external power meter?
Do you know if the car is actually sleeping?
I am measuring it externally through PGE data when it 'recharges' at 10pm every other day. I believe it is sleeping. I'm going to have to double check when this weeks experiment is over, but I don't want to wake it up to check! Even if it is not 'sleeping', the vampire drain is more than with 4.5.
I'm following the same methodology as I did earlier:

I read your blog. It great to have a so much data. Thanks for collecting and posting it.
Unfortunately, I think there is an error in your kWh calculations. It looks like you counted each 15 minute interval as an hour. For example, 2.24kw for 15 minutes is 2.24kW * 0.25h = 0.56kWh, not 2.24kWh
Taking September 9th data as an example, you have 2.24kW, 2.42kW and 0.75kW for 15 minutes each. That is only 1.3525 kWh of electricity. Given that is for 2 days, your measured vampire losses over those 2 days would be just 0.67625kWh. Still more that I'd like to see, but much better than 2.75kWh per day...
Thanks, I hope the data is helpful.
Unfortunately, there is a ton of confusion what kWh are. It is really just energy and not over time. The name is terrible, and should really be called something else in a ideal world. Think of your 85kWh battery, it is an amount of energy no matter how quickly or slowly you use it up.
My historic number is very consistent with other user's reports. Can't figure out yet why 5.8 is even more, but waiting for PGE to report to me more data.
