I have been following the recommendation to only charge to 100% for trips, and to charge to the top of the daily driving range the rest of the time.

But our Model 3 SR started life as a Model 3 SR+ and then took a software downgrade. I had them dial back the 20 miles of range and some AP features to bring the car back to the $35K SR price when we bought it in June, 2019.

So, since it can't charge to 100% of the true battery capacity even when we set it at 100% of what our software package allows, does that mean we can charge to the top all the time and still be on track to attain maximum long-term battery life?
