TLDR: From the following data, there’s a chance that the truck spends a few hundred watts to even a half kW keeping itself on, but the two data points gathered here are not conclusive enough to say for certain what it’s doing.
Last year (May 2024) I needed to run our work computers, the fridge, and most of the house (but not HVAC) using the truck’s PPOB in the bed while our electrical service entrance panel was replaced.
This is the photo of just starting the day (07:35) with 94% displayed state of charge and 110.1 kWh to empty. The truck was drawing 930 watts from the HVB. The PPOB reported ~470 watts on the bed outlets, with < 90 watts draw in the cabin and the frunk inverter was powered off. It was 48 degrees F outside when we started, the battery was 55 degrees F, and the battery coolant temperature was 60 degrees F. I do not remember if the coolant pump was running, but the coolant heater was not, according to the CarScanner information here.
This is the photo of the end of the day (at 16:59). The truck was reporting 160 Watts from the 240 volt bed outlets with less than 90 watts in the second panel in the bed and less than 90 watts in the cabin. The truck was drawing 460 watts from the HVB. I didn’t get the ambient temperature in these photos, but the battery temperature was 64 degrees F and the coolant temperature was 70 degrees F. Again, the coolant heater was not running.
HVAC was turned off at both times.
At this time, I had not enabled “silent mode,” but I had turned off the headlights. The key fob had remained in the vehicle for the entire time.
We’d used 5 kWh in about 9.5 hours, for an average power draw of 526 watts. Our normal background house power draw, with all the various small things running, is about 700 watts, +- 300 watts. We did not have most of those small things running. We had two computers + monitors, the fridge, a chest freezer, a microwave for a few minutes at lunch, and various lights.
