First EV so still learning about all of its quirks..

So I’ve had my Air Touring since May. Not notice any vampire drain or loss. Even left it at 80% for 2 weeks in the summer in the garage unplugged and if I remember maybe lost 1% or less. Anyway this week was the first time I’ve left it at the airport parking lot. Temperature over the last 2 nights was 35-40F. Parked it with around 280 miles on Monday, according to the widget. That evening I noticed the widget had the “open to connect” or what ever the message is because my phone had been in airplane mode. Opened the app and immediately saw the mileage first show 277 and then 275. Next morning opened the phone and the widget still said 275 and remained that way until I flew back on Wednesday. Landed early evening and opened the app and the mileage dropped to 270. So it looks like I lost 7 to 10 miles from Monday to Wednesday, with night temps dropping in to the high 30’s low 40’s.

Is that normal?
 
Seems normal considering those temps. Batteries don’t like cold as we know. Not that 35 is that cold, but it is getting there

It's normal to expect vampire loss while the car sits idle without doing anything: some more, some less. You just learn how much the loss is and plan accordingly for the next time.
