I was meaning more the difference from what the car says it draws from the grid and what gets put in to the battery. But your comments are still very helpful.
The bit that Tesla doesn't tell you about is that their cars are always "on" and connected by default - even when parked. People complain that their overall efficiency ends up around 70% as it sits parked eating up 240W of power staying connected to the world.
Haven’t followed that level no yet but I’d have liked to think that the fact that the car goes to sleep often would significantly reduce the “phantom drain “ figure.
