Moderator, please delete my account, thank you!

And neither a So you really think Space X didn't attempt things on a smaller scale before the real thing!!!...lol

Interesting how some love to put words in your mouth... Again, I said if your only charging source is nothing but Supercharging for it's entire life this will promote a little more battery degradation, period!

There is literally TONS of info on the internet about the fast charging of batteries and the long term effects.

Do you really think today's EV's came out of thin air? I guess the micro technology of RC cars years ahead had nothing to do with it...lol

Was just highlighting some bad habits, don't think I said it couldn't happen to myself or others...

ALL EV's suffer range limitations in extreme temperatures regardless of cost!

Again, charging up to a high SOC is fine if your going to use the car, even if this is your daily routine as the battery will be used thus drawing off some of the stored energy. If you use only Supercharging for the entire life of your battery you will incur a little more battery degradation...

Exactly my point!

Yes, charging up to those percentages are fine if you are going to use the car. Leaving the batteries at that SOC for a week or two is not...

Do some research on leaving lithium based batteries charged at maximum does to them and get back to us...

Usually I take 6 or 7 supercharger stops

charged it up with a 22kW AC to 90% and parked it (indoors) for the remainder of the week.

*Moderator Note: This is an off topic argument pulled from another thread. Enough snippiness here that I nearly put the whole thing into the snippiness thread. Stay on topic and no more snarky stuff. No, not what I mean. I use to race electric RC cars professionally so I'm very versed in the...

Agreed!!! Coming from a racing background I didn't order any self driving and love the car! To each his own...

I note some bad charging habits in your statement above, if this is typical of your charging scenarios I'm really not surprised you finally had an issue.

Have a small 1kw system that I use to offset some of the charging of my M3 during the day. Bigger system didn't make sense as the highest bill was $88 last month. Beyond that Tesla's offer of $50 a month rental for a system can't be beat, then you could add one of their Powerwalls for nighttime...

GEICO decided to double my next 6 month premium to $1k so decided to re-check a quote with Tesla. They came in at 50% less this time and I immediately switched over to them!

What time is this scheduled for?

Hey All, might reschedule the Riverside Meet Up as I was unaware of this at the same time...

I hear only 20mi range but seats and fog lights will stay, so far everything still up!
