Your question reminds me of Sister Gertrude, one of my grade school teachers. She was a mean nun who taught us religion at St. Anthony Grade School. Whenever we would ask her if we HAD to so something, (e.g. Sister do we have to do all this homework? Sister do we have to go to mass every Sunday? Etc) she would get a stern look on her face and answer with, "No. You don't HAVE to do it, the only thing you HAVE to do is die." It wasn't a very uplifting message but I guess she was correct. So in that spirit, no you don't have to plug in your Tesla every night.Do i have to keep it plugged in everyday?
It will stop charging once it hits the setting.ok, its been a three days and lost 1%...for now i just connected the mobil charger and set it up to charge 1 % above current charge...Once it reaches that will it just stop charging? I'm guessing yes, and just leave it plugged in and it will only charge if it falls below percentage i have set?
ok, mine was at 73% so i guess i could of just left it without attaching cable. I'm thinking i won't get title for another 10 days. Anyhow i just connected it to the mobile charger just to keep it at current range and if it falls it will charge it back up.I only drive mine on weekends. On Thursday I charge to about 75% where it drops to the 40—50% range by Sunday. I don't charge again until I plug it again Thursday evening.
The “below 20% is a myth.Basically, any charging regimen that keeps the car ready for you to drive and ideally keeps the battery above 20% or so on a daily basis will do the job. If you can keep it plugged in whenever you're at home, then that's what I recommend. Pick a charge level between 50-90% that results in you being able to drive everywhere you expect to need to and keep from running it below 20% very often, and you're good to go.
Yeah, I don't really care about that so much. I just figure if I'm going below 20% all the time, I don't really have enough battery to freely drive the car where I want.The “below 20% is a myth.
*LFA batteries are different.The “below 20% is a myth.
The batteries is actually better of the lower the SOC we have.*
[...]
The low SOC strategy will cut the degradation in half, or even more.
Not much if we look at calendar aging.*LFP batteries are different.
I took myself the liberty to change LFA to LFP, so others dont get confused.I wish we had some good examples of them for LFP cells.
[sic] LFP cells. I'm dumb. Can we edit posts in this forum?
It's funny because I immediately caught my error and I couldn't edit. I wonder if I need more posts or to donate or something to get the ability.The edit time is very short. The site owners have it set that way. Most mods (including myself) are volunteers so do not have any ability to change that at all.
Oh, yes, that's true. Brand new accounts can't edit posts at first until a certain number of posts.It's funny because I immediately caught my error and I couldn't edit. I wonder if I need more posts or to donate or something to get the ability.
That's not true. The lowest SoC target you can set is 50%, so if you are using more than 30%, you can and should set the target SoC to whatever you're planning to use for the day + 20% so you can end your trip with about 20%. Then let it sit at that SoC overnight and set Scheduled Departure for whatever time you're going to leave the next day, with the SoC again set to whatever you're planning to use + 20%.Yeah, I don't really care about that so much. I just figure if I'm going below 20% all the time, I don't really have enough battery to freely drive the car where I want.
I think if you get more posts you'll eventually get the ability to edit. But the editing time is only about 1 hour. This is probably the most ridiculous, annoying thing about this site. On other sites, I've edited my own posts 2+ years after making them, because of changes to the videos (my own) that I've linked to. Or because someone quoted my post or bumped the thread and, upon re-reading the post, I realized that I had a previously unnoticed typographical error. Or because I linked to a video that was later removed from YouTube and so I had to find another link to the same video clip (i.e. a well known clip from a movie). Etc.It's funny because I immediately caught my error and I couldn't edit. I wonder if I need more posts or to donate or something to get the ability.
