Full 100% charge is good for the LFP batteries which have been standard in Model 3 and Model Y since 2021. Indeed, Tesla recommends to charge to 100% at least

  As far as I know this isn't true, LFP batteries degrade more when charged to 100% than if they're charged to less, but the remaining charge can't be estimated accurately unless you do: https://www.torquenews.com/15475/battery-charging-behavior-tesla-recommends-charging-lfp-models-100-key-voltage-0 https://www.torquenews.com/15475/battery-charging-behavior-t... https://www.reddit.com/r/TeslaModel3/comments/yh5ts5/m3_lfp_batteries_degrade_faster_than_nmc/ https://www.reddit.com/r/TeslaModel3/comments/yh5ts5/m3_lfp_... (They still degrade much less than the other kind of battery Tesla uses, however).

    Interesting, it seems they want people to charge to 100% so they can precisely estimate the state of charge on the road. Still, as you say it doesn't seem LFPs get degraded that much when sitting at full charge. https://www.autoevolution.com/news/the-puzzling-reason-why-tesla-misleadingly-recommends-charging-the-lfp-batteries-to-100-187075.html https://www.autoevolution.com/news/the-puzzling-reason-why-t...
