      <content:encoded><![CDATA[Hi Everyone,<br />
I am new, a &quot;newby&quot; as you refer to new owners of Tesla. I am enjoying my new Tesla model Y. I live in Coold coold New Hampshire, and I get about 70% of 316 full charge driving on a full charge, and this is expected.<br />
The term &quot;Preconditioning&quot; keeps coming up in the forum, and I need to know how to precondition before a long trip, or even a short 40-50 mile trip. Does it mean to pre-heat the car for 10 minutes? I do this every morning before leaving for work, and I charge once...<br />

I installed scan my Tesla and it’s reporting 77.8kwh when new and 77kwh current capacity. So if it is the 82kwh, right now the bms is hiding it....or it’s the old cells. Just FYI!]]></content:encoded>

Suddenly, today, I keep getting constant notifications that charging has started and then stopped a couple minutes later. This has been happening all day today when it is plugged in. Would something in the update cause this behavior?

I read that supercharging will shorten the battery life.  How much damage will it cause?  Is there a way to slow down the charge rate to minimize the damage?  Thanks.]]></content:encoded>

It’s been a while since I’ve been on the forums. I was able to trade in my leased Forester without penalty back to Subaru and purchased (financed) a 2021 Outback XT. Great car, but disposable in the sense that I am only looking to get 10 years out of it because of the mechanicals: turbo engine typically has less reliability than a naturally aspirated engine, CVT reliability is a little scattered, especially for the “high torque” variant in this car, and gas mileage is pretty lousy....<br />
