You were so lucky waiting for parts. The engineers in NJ and the dealer have no idea what the "parasitic draw" is caused by. Lots of tests. Each takes about a day.
I do wish there was a temp gauge and voltmeter also. You are to trust the sophisticated computers but from my experience they have not told them anything yet and could even be the problem.
I had an air conditioner glitch that took two years to fix as for the first year they said it was operator error. Unless it is in your little FOB it never happened and you are not educated in the vehicles operation. I ended up telling my SA how some of the controls worked as I had read so much about them. That also was a NJ and the factory joint venture to fix.
Monday is 30 days in the shop less 3 days I had it before it was going belly up again on the battery. I would think those who have not has the Battery drain when parked control message may be safe but even mine has had periods it seemed OK but if anything it seems to be getting worse now.
