Vampire Drain Analysis

[Darax]

There is simply no way your laptop is faster than that. You are thinking of just pressing the power button, which puts it to sleep. In my experiences with M1 Macs, iPhones, and i7 laptops, none boot faster than the car from a reset when ACTUALLY shut down.

My Mac boots in less than 30 seconds.

My Mac boots in less than 30 seconds.

That is just one computer vs many in Lucid which also need to be in sync with others in the car.

Here is Vampire drain test #4 (Latest)
14 days Vampire drain

Lucid AirGT 76% -> 72%
Rivian R1S QuadM 77% -> 66%

Air GT lost 4%
112kWh * -4% = -4.4 kWh

R1S lost 11%
135kWh * -11% = -14.85 kWh

Relative energy loss
Lucid Air GT = -4.4kWh/85.12kWh = -3.75%
Rivian R1S = -14.85kWh/103.95kWh = -14.3%

VERDICT:
Lucid Air GT lost 0.31kW per day
RivusnnR1S lost 1.06kW per day

During 14 days, I didnot access Lucid Air in mobile app. However, on R1S, I checked Rivian app 3 times for notification of new OTA update to be preliminarily ready for Tesla charging station appear in native navigation system.

One more datapoint if it helps - I was out of country for 5 weeks and my car was charged to 80% when I left. It was not plugged in.
Out of curiosity on how the car is doing, I used to wake it up remotely 1-2 times every week to check on battery charge, interior temperature.
After 5 weeks by the time I returned home, it was down to 69% SOC. Not bad I think, given my continual communication.
Edit: I also installed a couple of OTAs during those 5 weeks. So that might have contributed to the drain as well.

-11% in 35 day + couple OTA updates is actually very impressive result.
