As per here

My car has been clicking regularly, like it does once usually after a few minutes if left standing. It won't go to sleep and it insists that I want a 100% charge. It's like it won't go to sleep.

Others are reporting it too. It started at 1640 when I got home early yesterday.

Anyone else have this?

Yes with our Cupra Born. I think I sorted it by using the Start / Stop button for switching.on/off and also resetting max charge to 80%; seemed to have been reset to 100%.

I had this on my Cupra Born 1 week ago. On the Cupra app there is an option you need to select called "High voltage battery protection " which then stops the 12v messages.

Just taken a look at my state of charge over the night. Lost 3%, so I assume it has done the same thing:

Thanks. I'm trying it and will report back.

Not sure how I will find out when it works again though.

3% here too. In a single night, has VW wasted enough energy to power 110,000 UK households for a day or 300 UK households for a whole year?!

That’s my back-of-an-envelope calculation. 3% of a 58 kWh ID.3 battery is 1.74 kWh. I understand that the issue affected all vehicles that use the CARIAD Volkswagen Automotive Cloud, which is all ID cars (ID.3, ID.4, ID Buzz, etc) and possibly other makes and models too. Half a year ago, Volkswagen published that they had already sold 580,000 ID vehicles. For the sake of argument, lets say that 500,000 such vehicles were online yesterday night and each lost 1.74 kWh of energy. That’s 870,000 kWh in total. The average UK household consumes 2,900 kWh of electrical energy per year or 2,900 / 365 = 7.94 kWh/day, so 870,000 / 7.94 = 109,572 households for a day or 870,000 / 2,900 = 300 households for a year.

To be honest, I don’t know if I blame VW anymore than I blame the collective of humans that decided that it was a good idea to connect all things to the cloud and have them centrally controlled. From insulin pumps to boilers to electric cars to military drones. The consequences are so obviously predictable. What if instead of a VW blunder, it was a cyberattack that made all ID vehicles start charging at 6pm Central European Time on a cold January day? That’s the mother of all blackouts for you in western Europe, including the UK. What’s more, we are in a military race to advance AI capabilities and put them in control of autonomous killing machines (I’ve just watched Unknown: Killer Robots) because if we don’t, the Chinese or the Russians will. When the Artificial General Intelligence finally arrives, it will have at its disposal a world where everything is connected to the cloud, and the killing machines too. I don’t think it will be our complete extinction because I believe the AGI will find us useful for some greater purpose of theirs. They may settle on killing 99% of humans and enslaving the rest. Day in, day out, we are investing massing capital and human resources towards that end, while depleting what’s left of natural resources, destroying biodiversity and wreaking havoc on the climate. The Anthropocene has barely started, but how long will it last?

Yes, ours lost 4% the night before last and 3% last night. on both occasions settings mysteriously changed to charge to 100% and to disable automatically release connector.

My car wasn't affected, no loss of battery at all. I've taken it offline just in case. I do wonder if it is only affecting cars that have been driven recently, not used mine since Saturday.
