I'm awaiting the arrival of a Model 3 LR/AWD, and am quite excited to be weaned off of gasoline. However, I live at an apartment, and cannot charge my car up overnight.
There is, however, a Supercharger near my workplace which I plan to use with a modicum of frequency, but I had a question about what's best for the battery:
I know they generally don't advise charging above 90% unless you're going to need the range. However, it's about a fifteen or twenty mile commute, which is about 5% of the rated 310 mile range. So would it be harmful to make it a habit of charging to 95% before driving home, putting the SoC at about 90% when I park for the evening? Or should I be only getting into the top 10% range when prepping for a long trip for which I need that extra ~30 miles of range?
Naturally, this question is notwithstanding how long it would take to get the stage of charge to 90%; I know that the fuller the battery is, the slower it is to take in more energy.
