battery care

Hey guys, Ive been a huge Tesla fan and investor for about 5 years now. I am finally ready to pull the trigger on my first tesla (long range model S), but I am hesitant because I have a 200m round trip commute every day. I've done the math and figured I could make it there and back even on the...

I've done some light research and can't find anything either way, so I figured I'd ask here... I live in an area that doesn't have any time-of-day energy cost differences - so given that, is there any short-term/long-term benefit of turning off scheduled charging and let it charge when the car...

I have seen several threads on the effects of cold weather on battery dynamics and had an idea: If I were faced with severe cold weather and wanted to maximize both the longevity of the battery and availability of regenerative braking the goal would be to maintain the optimum battery temperature...

I went to the Audi dealership today to look at the e-tron and one of the things I'd asked about was the ability to set the battery charge limit to prolong the life of the battery. The dealer was oblivious, but I managed to find it in the e-tron menu system where I believe it had been set to...

Very quick question. If you are not going to drive your car for 2 weeks, keeping it parked in the garage, do you just charge to 90% and leave it unplugged, or do you leave it plugged in for the full 2 weeks and have it charge at night on schedule (ie using Stats to charge every 3-5 days while...

Probably more of an academic question to which there is no supporting data. What is less stressful on the battery pack: running down to single digits or a brief supercharging session to stay above 30% SOC? We took a trip totaling 270 miles in our LR RWD. We started the trip at 90% SOC. We...
