For the long term Tesla S owners, it looks like the battery degradation levels off asymptotically at around 90% and looks like the curve will stay mostly flat.

- jacquesm 8y agoIs that battery running close to spec or does it have reserve capacity that it does not normally tap in to?
- stcredzero 8y agoI wish I could answer. That's a better question for someone from Tesla.
- Negitivefrags 8y agoMost Tesla owners charge the car only to 80%. The UI in the car for setting the limit encourages this by marking the zone from 60-80% as "Daily Usage" and the 80%-100% zone as "Trip". When you purchase the car the default is also set to 80% and the delivery person tells you that you should usually have it set to 80% unless you are going to go on a long trip.
- Latteland 8y agoIt's hard on lithium batteries to charge them up all the way and so Tesla and maybe some of the other car companies spreads the charge over more batteries to make their lives longer.
