I used to have extreme battery drain a random times. I keep my key in a faraday box and Bluetooth off on my phone when around the car. The big thing I found was WiFi seemed to be draining the battery. I turned off WiFi and I was gone 7 days and had almost no battery drain. I keep the WiFi off unless I hear an update is coming.

I've had the car 2 1/2 years and have never connected it to my WiFi. Over-air updates have been fine over cellular.

Same. I turned off WiFi a long time ago and never looked back. And I've had fewer bugs with my Air than most. Could be a coincidence, but I'm not 100% sure it's not.
