Charging to 80%

[YauKwan]

I had a S60D and the range was fine. I charged it to 100% daily and was 210-216 miles.

I now have a LR 3. Charge to 80% is 250 miles. Even with degradation over the years I expect to keep the car. I should have always more range than my S60D?

The warranty is for 70% capacity right? So, at the end of the warranty the lowest your range should be is 217 miles at 100%.

70% capacity is the warranty? Where did you get that idea?

Yes it is. I got it from Tesla. You can look at the warranty here: Vehicle Warranty | Model 3 and https://www.tesla.com/sites/default/files/downloads/Model_3_New_Vehicle_Limited_Warranty_NA_en.pdf

We only charge to about 60% daily.

Typical driving is 3000 miles per month (now at 6000 miles in 2 months).

Tesla recommends 15-50% SOC for long term storage, and that’s mostly where the battery is daily.

For long trips, charging to 80-100% is normal.
