Then don't buy a Tesla, because the default factory setting is to charge to 90% to reduce battery degradation.
(Personally I like that feature, I wish I could configure my phone to make the battery last a year longer.)
- hnarn 6y agoiPhones kind of do this, I was surprised when I bought one recently and noticed it. It assumes your wake up time from usage patterns and then avoids charging above 80% or something during the night until right before you wake up.
- gwbas1c 6y agoI know that. I'm referring to the electric company discharging my battery without my knowledge. Just think of what will happen the first time someone plugs in their car overnight and then the battery isn't full in the morning.
