Except now they do recommend 80%. Maybe not BS after all

Thanks. I’m beginning to understand how using a lot of SC can lead to a lower average SOC. I’m going on my first long trip and working through ABRP noticing a lot of my stops are 15-60% or so then get in car to drive to the next SC. This would give a pretty low average SOC.

Reread. I now understand what is being said. If you get X degradation and 85%, the graphs are suggesting you’ll either get 1/2x or 2/3x degradation with a low SOC strategy.

I interpret your comment to mean you can get up to 33% of the degradation you’d see at 85% over the long term with a low SOC strategy. That’s even better than the 50% discussed. Or, do you mean you’ll get 66% of the degradation you’d get at 85% with a low SOC strategy?

Well played. I’m reminded of the old adage: What do you get when you mix medicine and politics? Politics.

Makes sense. Doubt people who use a SC go every day and set their limit to 50% like I do at home. Let's assume your analysis is correct. We know from @AAKEE that we can cut calendar degradation pretty much in 1/2 with a low SOC strategy. Does that mean the better interpretation of the data...

I can accept that. However…..if the sample size is too small, can we accept the conclusion as valid??

My Model 3 LR AWD BOT 09/23 is definitely using the LG 78.8 (BT 43) battery pack

Admittedly I’m not knowledgeable about fast charging and degradation but these results don’t make sense to me. How do they explain that model Y cars who did lots of fast charging suddenly do better than slower charging after 800 days. Does that make scientific sense given the type of battery...

Had a home service call for a minor issue. Tech told me my 08/2023 Model 3 LR AWD battery was an F3 M5OF LG Battery Pack (BT43) I’ll leave it to others to decode.

Any reason to think this doesn’t apply to the LG 78.8 now being seen in the 2023 Model 3 LR AWD except for staying below 60% vs 55%

This happened to me. I picked up my LR a week ago. SOC was 90%. Had a 200+ mile trip home. Car said I needed to stop at a SC on the way. While driving home, I looked and the SC stop was gone and I made it home with 17% SOC. Battery capacity has gone up in past week per energy graph...

Remember, this came from the salesman when I picked up my model three long range on Monday but he said it was a LG 78.1 battery. Does that help with anything?

Sorry. Link not attached

The salesperson at the store said he believed it was a 78.1 LG battery but the store was very busy and no research went into it. It is rated at 333. It was a holiday and I don’t think the service department was even open. Thanks for the response. Instead of doing it after 1 trip, can I do...

Just got a brand new Model 3 long range. My daily charge is 50%. Just for grins I want to use the energy chart to determine battery capacity. Going on a long trip soon and will charge to 100% before leaving. How soon after it hits 100% should I leave? @AAKEE you mention taking a “longer“...

2023 Model 3 RWD 206 272 269 5k (8 months old)

Thank you. I guess I was really asking if there was any additional balancing that takes place after charging hits 100% and it seems like “no”. If that’s the case, no reason to have it sit at 100% longer than necessary.

2023 Model 3 RWD here. I charge to 100% every 2 week’s before my longest drive and 50% as needed the rest of the time. I use off peak charging so my battery charges just before I leave. This has the LFP battery Question - When I charge to 100% how long should I have the battery sit before I...

I use TSLA keyfob. It cost 7-8 dollars as a one time charge. Works every time unlocking car, start car, opening trunk, opening doors and charging port.

I have 5 trips I make every week. One trip is 50 miles round trip with 42 on the highway with speed limits between 60-65. The other 4 are 60 miles round trip with 35 on the highway (60-65) and the rest on country roads with a speed limit of 45-55. I use chill mode, drive the speed limit or...

Let’s not forget car & driver made the Ioniq 6 their EV of the year and it got 100 miles less than EPA advertised in their “real world” test https://www.caranddriver.com/hyundai/ioniq-6

Sorry to hear that. I have a 2023 Minute del 3 RWD. 270 mile range

Not saying it will happen but your battery can degrade another 20% and not be a warranty issue. That would bring you range down to 355km or 221 miles. Still may not be an issue depending on your driving needs. Me, my RWD only started with 435km and I take some long trips so I’m trying to...

Not me. My “real world” Wh/ mi is 206 over 5000 miles. That includes about 50% of the time on highways with at least 65 MPH speed limits, 30% of the time on roads with speed limits between 45-60 and 20% of the time on city streets with speed limits of 35 and traffic lights. I’m always over...

Both versions work very well.

Thanks James. I’m slowly getting educated. I have an iPhone and that Tessie app indicates idling. OTOH my android phone just says sleeping. Doesn’t even have that idling button. I’m so glad expert help is readily available

thanks. I just have no idea what that 14 hour task could be per [email protected]. I still have 0 phantom drain. I’m trying to learn how EV’s work. Sentry is off. Cabin protection is off.

It’s now idling for 14 hours. Still 0 phantom drain

I have a 2023 model 3 RWD with the LFP battery. For over 3 hours after I got home today Tessie says my 2023 is sleeping yet I get “idle in progress”. Tessie also tells me I have 0% phantom drain and my SOC has remained at 49%. Could you please explain what is happening. I’m new at EV...

I’d also add bring your J1772 plug. I’d bring/buy a CCS charger as well. As you get more comfortable with travel in your EV, you may want to get off the interstates and where I live, there are areas not really served by Tesla chargers but they most often have a place with a CCS connector and...

I gave up my plan and don’t miss it. I use SiriusXM so I have my phone plugged in with Bluetooth anyway. I’ve never used satellite view and drive 35k per year. Navigation will still route you away from traffic jams and live sentry view is the only thing that gave me pause when canceling

I have a 2023 Model 3 RWD with LFP. My daily charge is 50%. I look 2-3 weeks into the future to see what day I’ll be driving the most and charge to 100% to keep the BMS happy. I use the off peak charging so my battery stays at the lowest SOC for the longest time. just finished an impromptu...

Your comment about being in the proper location when setting charging parameters hit home. Took me 2 failed attempts to work out that one.

Makes sense. How long does that take so I can have that done at departure. IE if it takes 30 minutes and I want to leave at 7:30, I’ll just tell it my end of off peak charging is 7:00.

I have the same issue. For me, scheduled charging works almost to the minute when charging for my daily needs. When charging to 100% periodically to keep my BMS happy, it always takes 45-60 minutes longer than it should. Any ideas why?

Just took off on a very unscheduled day trip into areas not well serviced by Tesla chargers. I had previously bought a CCS adapter and was given a J1772 adapter with my RWD Model 3. These got me through the trip and I'd never rely solely on Tesla chargers even though they are the best. I...

Thanks. I feel good. Tessie says I’m at 59.7

Thanks for the great info. I tested at 40% SOC so I’ll redo the calculations Made in January and purchased in May. For my degradation chart, is the battery 6 months old or 2 months?

I bought a 2023 Model 3 RWD in mid May 2023. It had 15 miles on it. Per the VIN it was made in California in January 2023. Almost have 4000 miles on it. Tessie says I have .9% degradation. I assume it's calendar degradation but is it 6 months or 2 months. I'm trying to create a graph of...

That is the best thing you can do to help lessen calendar degradation

Yes. If that doesn’t work, what product can I use besides my cell phone if I get a flat

I put “ “ around dealership. I tried to make it easy to understand where the information came from. It wasn’t some dude off the street

The foam used in Tesla’s tires is made from a special kind of polyurethane that is placed as a layer inside the tire’s inner surface. What the foam does is absorb at least some of the cavity noise, thus preventing it from being transmitted into the passenger cabin. The reduction in noise can be...

I don’t know. I’ve only repeated what I was told. Like I said, please educate me

I was told today by the repair department at my local “dealership” that Tesla tires have foam in them and that tire inflators don’t work. Please educate me

I use an app called TSLA Keyfob and it does the same things. Costs around $7.

Tam: I have a home charger. None of my trips uses over 20% of my battery. Are you saying that to strictly follow the manual, I’d charge to 100% every day even if I have a 95% SOC? That’s what leave the car plugged in when not using it. My battery would never get below 80% SOC. Have you...

Ray- I agree with you and this is what I do. I discharge down to 20% which takes care of my 4 consecutive 60 mile days. I charge to 35% for my 50 mile day and then every Friday night charge to 100%. Other replies here I should be charging every day in which case my battery will never get...

Well Tam, I DID read the manual. I also charge to 100% once per week IF Tesla recommends plugging in your car each and every day and charge it to 100%, even if only driven a few miles, that’s easy to clearly say WITHOUT having the phrase charge it to 100% at least once per week. Charge it...
