Phantom drain?
 
Question for the "long time" e-Tron owners:
As a current Tesla Model X and model 3 owner, I am well aware that Tesla vehicles lose about 1-2% of battery charge per day, if left idle.
What is the Audi's behavior in that regard? Like leaving it parked for 2 to 3 weeks at the time potentially?
Also does checking the status of your car from your phone app, "awakes" the vehicle in some way? Therefore increasing the drain?

it shouldn’t have a phantom drain. Or a considered one.
when checking the status, this use the V12 battery.
and the V12 battery usually being recharged if you start stationary a/c.
if checked the status once a day, this shouldn’t drain the V12 for 2-3 weeks.
i think Bjorn said something about this in one of his video about the e-tron..

Left my e-tron home for 10 days while on vacation with no change in the battery mileage when we returned home. There have been discussions about this before and it’s always been said there is no phantom drain.

Last Thanksgiving while traveling I left my Etron parked for two weeks and when I returned it had the same SOC as when I left.

The Model S 85 I had would drain up to 3% a day depending on temperature. My neighbor's Model 3 once drained over 40% SOC while he was on vacation for about 3 weeks. I've had our e-tron for a month and a half so far. That was the first thing I noticed was the lack of phantom drain. When you power it off, it's off. I didn't drive it for 3 days once and it was the same SOC as it was 3 days before.

Ditto, mine has sat for as long as 10 days a couple of times. The charge level doesn't change.

I've heard of phantom drain and chalk it up to Tesla continuously monitoring the car, updating the software as needed, and otherwise maintaining their control over the car and its functions. It's one reason I didn't buy a Tesla.
