New Tesla owner here, hadn't heard that!
Will you not charge above 80% even on trips?
- btilly 8y agoThe factory default is that you only charge to 90%, and they advise you to only go to 100% for trips. We do 80%, but are willing to raise it for trips. The reason why it matters is that charging lithium ion batteries to 100% lowers their lifespan. Since we don't need the range normally, we leave it at 80%.
