Hi all,
I started noticing this few weeks ago, sometimes when i turn on the car and start moving i lose between 1 to 3% of the battery charge in just few min.
It’s random, i can’t connect it to anything.
Audi dealer told me it happens after charging but nothing to do.
Any idea?
Thank you!

Have you just disconnected the charging cable, driven out of a garage or to a colder place? Even parked close to a wall / house ? If so this would explain it.

Random one for you but if you turn off the heating controls, as in using the off button to turn off the entire display, you can get about 5-10miles extra on a charge. So even when it's not set to anything it's still on draining power.

So you both think it’s temperature related?
Thank you

Possibly, what's your charge level when you set off? I've also noticed that when I charge the car to 100% it drops pretty quickly to 97% and the estimate of 300miles (which it will never do) drops to 280miles within a few feet from my house 😂

I see it happening randomly, not in any specifico situation.
More often after going out of my garage or taling the car after few hours parked on the street
