RWD battery has a different chemistry to the LR/P battery
The RWD, because of its chemistry, needs to be charged to 100% from time to time (Tesla says weekly) because it needs a 100% charge so the Battery Management system to accurately estimate available range
The LR/P battery is different. It does not need to be charged to 100% for BMS estimation of range. Additionally because of its chemistry, there is a recommendation to charge to less %. Most people don't need 100% battery charge for daily driving. Tesla recommends charging between 50-80% for daily driving. However there is no problem if you do need to charge to 100% - say for a longer trip. Charging to lower State of Charge improves battery life.
There is no point charging to 100% if by the time you get home at the end of the day the battery is 80%. The battery is always there even if you don't charge to 100%.
I charge to 50% for daily driving. I get home with 30-40%. There is no need to charge to 100% when I only use 10-30% of that each day. If I need 100% I don't have a problem charging to 100%.
Overall recommendations for both batteries is to always try to charge daily rather than charge to 100% and drain to 0%. Small charging sessions is best. ABC= "always be charging"

LR/P batteries also have other benefits.
The max charging speed is higher than RWD batteries: 250kW vs 170kw
The regen is also better in cold weather such as subzero in the alpine areas.
75kwh NMC which recommends 80% charging for daily use.
Between 50-80%
