I just read somewhere that battery drain issues is likely caused by the rear latch. I had a problem with mine and took it to the dealer. I mentioned what I learnt, and they confirmed it! :D Turns out that the rear latch was cycling between open and close causing the battery to drain. They replaced the part and cleared the codes. I am keeping an eye on the voltage meter now because some folks say the fix is temporal, so I’m planning to get a NOCO Jump Starter just in case. If it happens again, I’m definitely getting rid of the car. I love it, but not enough to deal with this again.
 
I'm experiencing the same issue, and my dealer keeps blaming it on the software update. I replaced my battery, but the problem stayed. I'm going back to the dealer to show them this.

Yeah you should, and make sure to mention the rear latch issue I had, they might be able to check it for you too.
