Can someone explain why Tesla can't throw in a hibernation mode to dial down the idle power-drain? I mean, what are the "always on subsystems" doing that they're draining 50% charge in 7 days? Surely those systems and that level are drain aren't inherent in lithium-ion tech.

And if Tesla can notify itself of a battery in danger of bricking, why can't they notify the driver well in advance of the emergency?
