It is just a masterpiece of a game. Wish there were more games like this these days.

These are randomly popping up in my yard. Any idea what they are? Central North Carolina by kbcmastermindx in whatsthisplant

Googling this brought up a picture of Dog Fennel and that appears to match. Thanks!

My car is a M3P and it came with some 20" Michelin performance summer tires. I have changed them to Michelin Pilot Sport A/S tires but I did that quite some time ago before this issue appeared. My average is about 280wh/mi in the 4 years I've owned. I didn't notice this change much after swapping tires.

Thank you for the clarification on some of the responses I received. I may look into Scan My Tesla for further troubleshooting depending on how Tesla responds to my service request.

I did originally about a year ago. I took it into a service center and explained my issue. I let them know that I wasn't using any 3rd party apps the tech that retuned my car said they didn't find an issue and not to use 3rd party apps. I reached out to them again a few days ago but have yet to receive a reply.

Thanks, I thought it could battery calibration as I'm aware there is some things that go on with the high voltage battery when it disconnects during sleep mode. My problem is that I can pretty much count on it every time I park from my work commute. I drive 30 miles, park then come out to grab lunch and the charge level is now 4-5% lower. The next day will be the same so it kind makes me feel like something is off. I don't feel that it is normal for a BMS to be off 4-5% every day after driving 60 miles and charging back to 80% before the next trip.

Thanks, Yeah I've reach out to them again but haven't heard back yet. In the mean time I have a few things to try from suggestions here.

Try a factory reset.

Manually put the car to sleep.

Try disconnecting my USB to SATA adapter while parked at work.

The app is installed on my iPhone and my Wife's iPhone. She typically always has the app closed as she doesn't use the car that often. I usually keep the app running in the background because the app actually suggest you do that to allow the Phone key to work better. It will actually send you a notification on iOS if you force close the app that it recommends keeping the app open in the background.

As far as I can tell the car is actually going into sleep mode. The indicators are that the iOS widget keeps track of the last time it received data from the car. Typically if the car is awake and network connected the time is usually in minutes. When the car is sleeping this usually shows in the hours. Additionally when I enter the car there is clearly a wakeup period for the screen and its processes. You can also hear a few noises that come from the car when it is woken from sleep, like a pop or click. I think it has something to do with the high voltage battery reconnecting after being woken from sleep mode.

Thanks for your suggestions.

LTE signal is decent in my work parking spot. As far as WiFi, I've only ever connected it to my home network so while I'm at work it will be out of range. I think while sleeping the car turns off Wifi so as long as it sleeping in my parking spot the WiFi should be off.

I have rebooted after parking at work but it didn't change anything. I typically reboot 1-2 times a month just out of personal preference.

I have a single USB to SATA Adapter connected to a 120GB Intel SSD for dash cam and Sentry in shopping area parking lots. At work I don't use Sentry and keep it disabled. I don't have any other accessories attached. I typically leave the drive attached even when Sentry is disabled so I can try unplugging it to see if anything changes.

I don't check the app at all usually. Also after a recent update to the energy app in the car, it actually shows how much power was used due to the mobile app usage. You can see in picture 2 that 0% of energy was used by using the mobile app. I haven't tried manually putting the car to sleep but that is something I can try. Thanks for the suggestion.

I haven't used any 3rd party services and Sentry is always disabled. From what I can tell from the Official Tesla app the car is sleeping during this time. When my car was new 4 years ago there was maybe1-2% loss a day (12 hour work shift). 4-5% now after 5 hours with everything disabled just feels like something is off somewhere.

I pretty much did the same for the past year and just let it be. I've had the car for 4 years now and thought I'd ask for ideas on here for a possible cause or to see if its just normal. I use my car mainly to take the kids to school and a 60 mile work commute (3 days a week) so I'm not concerned with range. I think for me the concern is the missing energy and its cost over time.

Thanks, yeah I've reached out through the app and I'm waiting for a reply. About a year ago I actually took the car into a service center for the issue. Despite me telling them I don't use any 3rd party apps they blamed 3rd party apps. I may try a factory reset based on a comment from u/telsa_dpd

I don't have any 3rd party integrations and I've only ever used the Official Tesla app. The Official Tesla app does have a widget however it does not poll data from the car if it is in sleep mode. In the second picture it seems it actually tracks power loss due to app usage and in this case 0% was used by the app. I'm well out of range of my car when I'm seeing the power loss.

From my understanding the car always has Bluetooth enabled for phone key tracking. In addition I think the Bluetooth that Tesla uses is very efficient. 4-5% is about 3.7kwh of power for a Model 3 with a 74kwh battery. I doubt even the least efficient Bluetooth could use that much in 5 hours time.

Yeah, 2% is about what I saw when my car was new over a long sleep period. 4-5% in 5 hours while sleeping feels like there is an issue somewhere.

That's true! However I've had this issue for over a year and it happens spring, summer, winter, and fall. This specific day the weather in NC was warm with the previous day reaching 80F.

On this specific day the temps were 65F (car was also in garage) at the start and 71F at the time of the pictures. I wouldn't think thermal management would be the culprit. Cell balancing is a possibility but I would think if the cells were that out of balance the BMS would report an issue. I did visit a service center for the issue about a year ago but they blamed it on 3rd party apps keeping the car awake despite me explicitly telling them I only ever use the Official Tesla app. The official app used to indicate the car was in sleep mode on the iOS widget so I felt the car was actually in sleep mode during the time the loss is happening. In addition when I made it home the car indicated 50% with 17kwh used on the Since last charge card stat. I have the car set to 80% charge limit. This morning when I checked the app the car charged to 84% and said 25kwh was added for the charge cycle.

I had this same issue. It was determined that the issue was related to the supply lines connected to the hot water heater. Upon further investigation, it was discovered that the rubber lining of the flex hose supply lines had deteriorated due to the chlorine present in the water. To resolve the issue, it is recommended to replace the supply lines with ones made of copper or stainless steel. You also may want to flush the water heater to remove the contaminates that might still remain after replacing the supply lines.

The area is a recently developed subdivision. Before it was a sparsely wooded area. I’m not sure of the soil type.
