Thanks for more details. I’m not familiar with that conclusion. It appears you’re telling me if I charge to 55% (as I do for winter), and discharge to 15% it has more degradation than if I discharge to 30%, recharge, and repeat. Counter-intuitive to me (higher average SoC), but that’s why I...

E, you’ve made that statement twice just in this thread. I also see you own an LR, so we’re talking about “standard” nmc anode lion cells.. i know of no data that supports this, nor anybody well versed that says it. calendar aging is of course accelerated by very high rates...

Yes. The Wall Monitor app polls the wall charger and has day by day charge stats.

I don’t know any that have studied this that doubt degradation occurs to nmc lion cells charged at rates of 1c and higher. As I recall this is attributed to plating acceleration. Such can be exacerbated by high C rates of charge or discharge as well of higher SoC. course the Tesla BMS, in...

Jax, obviously most of use feel aakee has a strong understanding on these issues. My own research agrees with his as well. One implication of this is to ignore those posts that contradict his guidance. As to your need, I would only suggest dropping/lower the supercharge to arrive home at 50%...

Scan this thread for discussion maxspagetti and I have had. Meets your need. What you are doing “should” work, but there are enough pitfalls and gotchas that using the 3rd party app “Tessie” is a better option. IMO of course.

Alan, when towing one (I assume in neutral) will the brakes still regen when applied? Of course I bought an f-150 powerboost for a reason…

Like alansubbie and aakee, I charge to 55% abc, use higher charges to whatever as needed for the rare trip. I’ve been under 10% frequently goto 5% when needed. As it happens I ran to 0% this week. Car has been to 100% once in 14 months, not over 85% otherwise. I will supercharge when...

That would be an awesome feature to have! These things get so hot that being able to vent windows knowing it would close if it rained would be fantastic!

Thanks!

While I'm impressed, at this time it can't be trusted enough IMO. So far it's: 1) Consistenly come across two lanes of traffic to get to interstate off-ramps 2) Attempted to drive into one Island at a destination. 3) Attempted to drive right into the front door of another 4) Failed to...

I try not to write war and peace, and in doing so miss-set your expectation. To be more clear: 1) Pursing replacement shocks on a '23 or newer 3/Y is a direction with poor, if any, return in ride quality or cost. 2) Instead purchase 18" rims that are 7.5" or 8" wide. I suggest 245/55R, and...

Or this: Or Elon:

OP: Tire pressure, volume, and sidewall all have significant affect on ride quality. Yes, the 19’s ride better than the 20’s. However, the sidewall is still “upright” (so not bulged). Meaning the tread width and the rim width are about the same. This makes it difficult for the sidewall to...

Yes

I encourage everybody to evaluate the validity on their own, so have at it. A few thoughts: 1). While one could, as you did, note drag change as speed changes, the exponential relationship of drag to speed is relatively well known. Few will debate it. The idea of the test is to observe...

#2, were it real, and in the right hands, would be considerably safer. However, 750kg for a trailer capable of carrying 1750kg car, complete with brakes, seems a stretch. 20’ long, tandem, etc? Gotta be around 1000 even if aluminum. I would tow #2, if I approved the loading and trailer...

OP: Neither tongue weight rating nor towing capacity are laws. Call the cops all you want. GVWR, GCWR, on the other hand are clear and enforceable. Most posters on subjects like this have little to no real experience towing even moderate loads. There will be little to gain within this thread.

Ah, heavy rain. I have to fess up I’ve not logged usage in a really major and extended downpour. Typical rain showers, etc? Nbd

wind is the big thing, (and as you can see often not understood) then speed, then hvac demand. Rain? Minor impact in my experience. Arriving at 6%? Well done. I plan on 10-15%. You want to be low to SC because it’s much faster. And this BS about always charging to 100%? Utter...

Yea, it sucks. It’s watching hour eyes from the interior camera. It doesn’t seem to care if you watch it’s screen for half and hour, but put a cell phone up to the steering wheel so you can see it and drive? It will insta bitch. Shame that. It’s not like drivers don’t take their eyes...

The increased warnings at start are pretty obvious, but I have not discerned an increase in frequency. Until it freaked out. It was rainy with marginal visibility - perhaps a camera was blinded and it handled it badly. Perhaps anything. However, it’s never just ignored serious user feedback...

Wow, the NHTSA objections have delivered software that's got some serious problems. For reasons unknown to me autopilot flipped out and insisted I wasn't paying attention. This in every decreasing nag screens. I was darn near ripping the thing off the road and it was still insisting it...

It’s not like water would hurt it. just doesn’t clean as well and can leave streaks.

How long will you be in the rental?

l2 speed is well below any charge rate degradation. Well below. Those understand this prefer to charge to 55% or below, abc, and charge to higher rates as needed just before departure thus minimizing time at higher SoC. Myself included.

FYI, Schedule precondition is not the same thing as supercharge preconditioning. in fact, considerably different.

yes…. I don’t worry, or even think about, the breaker. there Is loss over that entire circuit, by and large the wire, and that’s what I measured.

Breaker to evse loss is in the table linked and varies by amperage. Breaker itself? Unknown

which is why they’re asking for remote ability to call for it

I would add heat loss over the breaker to evse increases as amps increase. I did test all this. I still use 48a, but 40a was overall more efficient https://teslamotorsclub.com/tmc/threads/most-efficient-charging-level.293690/#post-7779752

I suggest two directions: 1). Ask James at Tessie if he has plans, or will, to implement battery preconditioning for SC. 2).Ask enhance auto where they are at in implementing via s3xy buttons.

One thing to consider: Not all studies show such a sharp drop around 60% going flatter around 70%. However, all I’ve seen do show loss as we increase SOC and that in general getting steeper around 60%. Point: there may be mild debate about exactly where degradation gets significant, but...

( fair enough. You do know you can already use a s3xy button to manually change it whenever you want, right?

may I suggest calling enhance auto? At one time they had committed to an automation that would set regen to a user defined value when temp was 33f or lower. That seems to be low priority to them, but they may reset that with customer interest. For 3/Y I consider this vital. It’s literally...

The car won’t allow less then 50%,and those of us that have looked into this adequately stay around 54-55% until a trip arises that needs more. Personally when it gets really hot I drop to the 50%, but that’s splitting hairs.

Range extender is as idiotic as the truck. What in heck is yet more battery gonna do? Do none of the fan boys tow? (Ok, silly question, of course not). You’re going to cut range in half AT BEST and often by 2/3rds. I’m gonna spend $116k, plus tax, to tow 150-200 miles? Golly thanks, but...

I use trucks for truck things, don’t need to be seen in the latest cool fad, and aren’t trying to protect the president. Why would I buy a cybertruck? I do have a deposit on a Ramcharger though.

Search for some posts from @AAKEE, likely the most informed of us on this topic. in the interim for best battery longevity: charge to know more you must have for your trip. charge as close to departure time possible. Running to very low charge level is a non-issue, unless DC fast charging- then...

@dimitar.ns Sir, way back on post #525 when I had suggested: You had replied: Obviously “Knob” and the new “Commander” have been significant undertakings, and as always congratulations! May I impose and ask: Do you have an ETA for the new commander version? Do you still anticipate a...

I have not taken it back in. Not doing it in the cold

Or Tessie automations. I won’t repeat it again, but your situation is common ans Tessie automationa allow a many solves

No. in fact it occasionally still does it

12a has no benefit vs say 36a. Either is well below any detrimental charge rate.

If I understand what you tried to ask, I believe the answer is "no"

Cannot be very far out of warranty unless lots of miles. Tesla has no goodwill policy?

Such an adapter is entirely passive. No conversion, no special programming, not even one piece of electronics. Being passive means it is entirely stable. Your concern, right? No, the issue is entirely around quality of components, manufacture, tolerances, and etc. More of a “this could...

nope. i put a 10,000 watt Briggs Elite in the bed a of a pickup truck and rescued a friends S that was OO power. i started it in the bed in, told him to set the charging current to as low as it would go, and let him plug in. after 5 minutes of running I had him turn up to 30 amps. No errors...

Well…. My 20 year old generator is certainly not inverter based. Charges Tesla’s quite well!

Understood. Were you perhaps traveling? This time of year I don’t see it either if I’ve been on the interstate for some time.
