Can you pull the breaker or cut the wire. Seems like it would be a simple ish hack but maybe access issues

  I ended up pulling the DCM fuse, but it comes at the cost of no microphone for phone calls and voice commands and no front speakers (and obviously no STARLINK).

    I did the same after having a shop investigate the drain. They didn't put all of the pieces together as the OP did, but they pointed to the fuse and told me I could pull it.

    You can probably easily rewire DCM from always-on to ignition-on. No battery drain and working equipment.

      Yep, you just need to move the fuse to a portion that's wired through a relay. Some engine bay fuse boxes have spare relay and fuse positions to add these kinds of things; otherwise you can buy a small automotive fusebox and a relay and a couple dollars in cable and crimp connectors and then you just need to find somewhere to mount it, likely above the outside of the glovebox or such.

  15 minutes isn't a sufficient amount of time to reliably recharge a drained ICE car battery. Ask any tow truck driver. Edit: Cool, apparently you've completely changed your comment. No worries, it happens. The original comment read something like "I don't believe this, a 15 minute drive is more than sufficient to recharge my battery." Edit: Shit, my bad, thank you @clippy, this is the second time I've made this mistake in as many days.
