2018 Model x75d

I’m a newbie but should I charge to 80% or 90% on a daily basis? I’m getting mixed info from the forums so I’m not sure.
I have a wall charger charging at 48amps( I was let down ...I installed a 90 amp breaker but you need the 100d to take advantage of it, but no big deal)

How much do you drive? I charge to 70% myself, unless I need more for a trip.

it honestly wont affect your long term battery health if you select 80% or 90%.

I drive everyday but I just got the car so not sure yet . Probably 30 miles a day. Love this car!!!!

Good to know

The best answer is Yes!

The whole idea is to stay in the mid range of the battery. If you generally only drive 30 miles per day, then 80% is probably the best answer. If you commonly drive 200+ miles per day, the 90% would be the best answer.

The difference in battery degradation between 80 or 90% isn't much in a Tesla. So if you need 90% use it, if you can plug in every night and only need <50miles of range you can lower it to 80 or even 70%. Just use it like you want and don't worry about it, only charging to 100% and leaving it at close to 0 Will make a significan difference.

I take it to 90% whenever I plug in at home. 80%, 90% probably makes no difference to battery life and even though I regularly drive 200 miles on a trip I believe that 80% would do me fine. I just like the idea of 90% as it makes the anticipated range in my model S read around '218 miles'.

I am a newbie to Tesla too...just 4 days with the car. So far I only charged at home a couple of times in the night (scheduled at 2 AM with pre-conditioning on) upto 80%. My drive is 120 km per day (75 miles).
