Icontrol message to phone says car going into deep sleep mode as i havent driven it for a few days. Its asking to set a wake up time.

Is there an advantage to setting a wake up time vs just getting in and driving away? Better for battery or efficiency or faster to 'boot up'?

One might be the ability to turn on the climate remotely. I travel a lot and can't turn on the climate remotely when I arrive if the car sat for a few days. I just tried setting a departure time in advance to see of that helps (I'll find out Saturday).

A wake up timer will allow you to use the remote app for climate, etc. without setting the timer the car won’t wake up until you get in it.

Updated to h264 last month. Don't seem to get the deep sleep notifications anymore. Anyone else notice this?

I don't recall ever getting one in the first placer (although it has gone into deep sleep maybe few times in the last year, so maybe I missed them).

At least with Tesla, if you pinged the car via the phone app, it would prevent the car from going into a deep sleep mode. Some apps were notorious for periodically pinging the car even if you weren’t aware of it.

This resulted in increasing phantom drain which I found to be an issue. Some times you’d lose 5-6 miles a day and other times you’d have no phantom drain. It was nearly impossible to figure out what was causing the different behaviors.
