I was out of town for 2 weeks. The day before I left I charged to 60% and unplugged the car. The next morning before I left, the car was showing 59% SOC. After two weeks our of town, the car is still showing 59% SOC implying that the vampire drain is almost zero now. Previous trips out of town, I would lose about 0.25% per day. Lucid recently replaced my HV battery so I am wondering if the reduced vampire drain is from an undocumented OTA or from the new BMS in the replaced battery. I am guessing the later.

Has anyone else chaecked vampire drain after their HV battery replacement?

I charged it for you. You're welcome.

No surprise. It got so damn hot in Phoenix that even the vampires left town!
 
It’s just memory retention and update bug with Lucid while parked. Mine showed the same SOC @57% after a week long vacation. The battery level dropped by 2-3 %points upon driving the first quarter mile.

While this would not have surprised me, it is not what I am seeing. The SOC% and the kWhr used on the trip display were consistent for 20 miles and reflected energy used for that drive. The near zero vampire drain is real.

I’ll let you know my experience after my HV battery is replaced some time in the coming weeks.
