How much phantom drain do you experience?

So something to consider, even if you're not seeing a drain while the car is sitting, if you get in after a couple days, drive one block and see it drop 3+%....that's just the CPU taking a minute to recognize the drain

Did you experience that?

It’s important though to make sure the key is out of range (or in a Faraday bag) to allow the car to go to sleep.

Did you experience that?

yes,...i see noticeable drops in charge from drive to drive....but I just assumed it's cuz i'm preconditioning...heated seats...etc... I know that takes a bit of energy.

You saw, for instance, 72% and 2-3 minutes after driving, 69%?

if so, that’s strange! Even strong preconditioning is not able to consume 2/3 kWh in a matter of minuts

i'll try to document my experience better.
But what have been passively noticing, is that the charge is dropping. What haven't payed enough attention to, is whether it's from precondition, or not.

I'll park the car at 40% ...precondition for a few minutes before next ride, and a mile down the road, i'll notice its at 35-37 or something... and i'm like, I don't remember it being in the 30's when i parked it...So again, i'm assuming it's preconditioning. But i can certainly pay attention to see if there's any drain before i precondition from now on
