Charging

[jbm1]

I charge to normally 75%. What happens is the charge reaches the limit set, for example 75%, but then over a short time the charge drops and does not stay at the 75% set. Is there a way of making sure that the charge stays at the set limit right up until departure time?

Common answer is “No”. It will vary abit.

Real answer is, it’s not important, the Tesla will monitor batteries and handle it.

Final answer is, set departure time and the car will be charged and ready.

If I don't use my MY and leave it plugged in, each day the car wakes up and tops off if necessary.

Other than that, charge at a time that that finishes an hour or less before your departure.

You could set scheduled charging so that it ends right before your departure time, so that there's no time for the SOC to drop. Or, if it's so critical to have 75%, then why not charge to 78%, and if it drops by departure time, it'll still be above your 75%.
