It’s not just possible, it’s almost certainly the cause. I don’t understand people who let third party crap communicate with their car and then complain about vampire drain.
I have zero third party stuff, but reserve my right to complain about a 40W average load. The people who are losing 20 miles per day....yeah, make sure to turn off those apps before complaining to Tesla.
I mean, 40W drain is pretty awful, right?
I worked really hard to get the vampire drain in my house below 200W. So 40W is a big deal.
Depending on the marginal electricity rate and whether using TOU metering, 40W could cost as much as $165/yr in Southern California. That is an upper limit, but it is significant.
