I can find tons of threads about people asking to charge every night and the standard answer is RTFM ( a plugged in Tesla is a happy Tesla). That does not mean charge it every night. I have roughly a 20 mile commute and an SR+. I charge to 90% but lately I have wondered about plugging it in and having it set to charge after my departure time and going up to the next 10 percent for that day. I.E. start at 90 Monday, drive and come home about 75%. Manually charge it before I leave to 80. Rinse and repeat each day until I go below 30% and then charge to 90 again. I am not asking to do this each week but is there any validity in this given I typically am only charging between 70 and 90 each day given my commute.
Why are you trying to "run it down before you charge it up"? You would be plugging it in, but still "running it down before you charge it".
Since you mention RTFM, I am assuming you read the page already about charging? For anyone else clicking on this thread, the specific passage is:

About the Battery
Model 3 has one of the most sophisticated
battery systems in the world. The most
important way to preserve the Battery is to
LEAVE YOUR VEHICLE PLUGGED IN when
you are not using it. This is particularly
important if you are not planning to drive
Model 3 for several weeks. When plugged in,
Model 3 wakes up when needed to
automatically maintain a charge level that
maximizes the lifetime of the Battery.
Note: When left idle and unplugged, your
vehicle periodically uses energy from the
Battery for system tests and recharging the
12V battery when necessary.
There is no advantage to waiting until the
Battery’s level is low before charging. In fact,
the Battery performs best when charged
regularly.

Its your car though, so you can do what you want... but I would be curious to understand your reasoning in having the ability to plug it in, but ensuring it does not charge, all so that you can deeper cycle the battery which is something almost everyone says is NOT good for the battery. Pretty much everyone says that shallower charging of the battery is better long term than deeper cycling (a bunch of 75-90% charges is better than a bunch of 30-90 charges). You would have less charging cycles overall but deeper ones.
Why would you go through all that effort of remembering to change the percentage daily (adding more complexity to your charging routine to accomplish what exactly?
