2025 R1S Dual Max, only took delivery a bit over a month ago, ~2kmi. For a day or two we've noticed a "motor whine" coming from the very front bumper area of the car, and realized today it's draining a % or so of battery an hour. I almost think it might have started Halloween when we had the effects on for an extended period of time, but that may be a coincidence, as we've used it before and since and hadn't been an issue and hasn't solved it.

Anyone dealt with this before? I did a search but nothing came up.

Sounds like it’s not going to sleep. Are all the doors, frunk, etc closed? My wife has accidentally not latched her door all the way, and when that happened truck did not go to sleep. Also make sure no items are sitting on the driver seat.

Everything seems to be closed, we don't get any warning messages about anything being open when driving.

Nothing on driver seat. Wife just did a hard reset, that at least stopped the motor sound while it does the reset.

Edit to add: hard reset seems to have fixed the issue
