I see. That is certainly straightforward enough. I understand TeslaFi somehow claims to track phantom drain in “sleep” periods as well. I assume that is by looking at the SoC at the end of the prior park session and the beginning of the current session? I guess I wonder how accurate that number would be - especially since presumably the HV battery state should not change (discharge) at all in sleep - it is disconnected by the contactors! In addition, I would expect a significant HV battery drain at the beginning of each park cycle, as the vehicle recharges the 12V battery. So the datapoints that TeslaFi gathers might not accurately capture the actual drain in sleep mode.
Basically just wondering about the accuracy of the partitioning of sleep/idle phantom drain data. No question about the 0.2mi/hr number - that seems to be correct and about right for me for the average. I just wonder about whether or not sleep mode actually is the sub-10W (based on TeslaFi data) drain we think, or whether that is incorrect and we can only speak definitively about the average drain...
Yes, I agree that trying to break down the phantom drain between sleep state and awake state would be subject to error. Even in sleep state the battery drains a little. All batteries drain a little even if they are disconnected.
