as the title states, my lucid air GT has started an odd battery drain while parked and not moving or doing anything.

Basically, the car loses 1% if i'm away from the vehicle for a few hours. Then loses another 1% within the first 1-2 miles (2-3kms) of driving then it's fine. I keep it charged at 80% (but really, it's only 79% because it goes down to 79% as soon as I unplug it)...it hasn't been charged in 2 days and I'm down to 74% with a whopping 15-16km driven (~10 miles). It's done this for the past 2-3 weeks.

I had the latest update about a month ago...maybe even 5 weeks. At least a few weeks prior to this happening, so this doesn't seem to be tied into the update.

The only thing that changed is i went from my winter tires (19) to my summer tires (21) but I don't understand how just sitting there parked would drain the battery with different tires, nor losing so much in the first few kms of driving.

Anyone had this or something similar happen?

sidenote in case it's related: twice now the driver dashboard took about 1 minute to boot after getting in the car in the past few weeks as well. This is the worst good-driving car I've ever had. The software makes this unbearable (i also have a dreamdrive pro that has only gone on twice for 5-10 minutes...that's it) :(
