I know Tesla and Elon say you should only charge your battery to 90% each night unless you're going on a trip then charge it to 100% because it's better for the battery, and when you charge to 100% the braking regeneration doesn't kick in until you get to 90%.
I bought a used 2016 90D, which has experienced battery degradation. I only get ~272 miles on a full charge, instead of the full 294 miles. I've noticed when I go on a trip and charge the battery full and get my 272 miles, that within 5 -10 miles of range being used to where I'm around 265-268 miles of range left, the braking regeneration is active. Which 90% of the full 295 mile range is 265 miles.
So my question is, if my battery has degraded pretty much to about 90% of it's original range, am I hurting the battery at all or causing it to degrade faster if I charge it to approx 265 miles every night, instead of leaving it on the Daily charging setting which gets me ~242 miles of range? Charging to 265 miles still has regeneration kick in right away.
