We've had people report that Bluetooth being on will wake it even at a far distance. The app appears to be doing something like [if Bluetooth is enabled on the phone] -> [wake car] which is kind of wild. I'm guessing their intended logic is [if Bluetooth is connected to the car] -> [wake car] but that connection logic isn't working so it's getting triggered all the time.
This also seems like bad logic. You definitely don’t want the car waking up just because Bluetooth is connected. The car seems to be able to detect received power somehow though, because when the phone is in very very close proximity, it is detectable (of course, otherwise locks wouldn’t work - note they don’t work just because Bluetooth is in range; you can’t necessarily open the car doors when Bluetooth is in range). It’s still not necessary to wake the car in that case, though it seems that sometimes it does. (Hard to tell since the car will wake up periodically regardless.)
The very first time this problem started it did not happen until ten hours after the 4.12 app was installed on my iPhone. The second time it happened it did not happen until five hours in. The third time I sat on the porch for two hours waiting for the sound of the contactors closing/opening nothing. Got tired of waiting and came back in the house, five to ten minutes later (according to the 12V battery monitor ) it cycled three times in an hour and several times the next several hours. I have at no time, during all of the above, disabled Bluetooth on my iPhone. Bottom line, I would not assume after only one hour the problem is/is not Bluetooth related in any way. Without the Bluetooth 12V monitor this problem would have probably went unnoticed by almost all owners except for owners like the one who's bedroom is right above his garage.(see post above). When my car starts cycling it seems to vary between twice and four time per hour. If all data access is off on my iPhone, everything is the same as it has been for three years.(normal) and Bluetooth was NEVER turned off.
Have you reinstalled your Bluetooth 12V Battery Monitor so you can see what is going on during the Tesla testing? or are the Tesla engineers still saying it could be causing this problem (In my opinion VERY unlikely)?
For now leave everything as factory. Once this is done I will reinstall my AGM battery or possibly my Ohmmu. They want app in background running and bluetooth on. I did notice just now the app will say phone key connected when parked and outside with sentry off and unlocked. But my bluetooth menu in my phone says NOT connected.
