The car senses the Tesla key and then realize that it is not the right key and then turn off. At an airport, there are tesla owners coming and going all the time and that will turn your car on and off all the time, at least that is my theory. My airport drain has been the worst when I parked at the EV spot, but there are no available chargers available, so I am surrounded by a bunch of other Teslas (and their owners will come and go).

Interesting. Yup, my vehicle being on the top (outdoor) deck not near a charger probably meant there were minimal walk bys by other Tesla key holders, which could help explain the minimal drain.
I wonder if the same theory applies to our iX.

Absolutely. This is what I hoped BMW would do - pick up on desirable (software) features from other vehicles and implement them. I fear I expected too much.
