First charge to 100

[jmramirez]

First time taking a trip in my model y with 1200 miles on the odometer so far. Set battery limit to 100 but as you can see in the screen shot it is only showing 309 mile capacity at 100%

LR AWD should be 316.. what am I missing? Did I lose over 2% capacity in just 1200 miles?

I dont think i would even worry about it since the range is so subjective to driving style and conditions...you could do better or worse...

I seem to be pulling only 75% efficiency on the average with my driving style...

On my MY after the battery reached 100% it was still charging and added the last 5miles to reach 316 miles then stopped charging. Leave it plugged in and let it automatically stop charging, this could be your problem.

Ummmmm.

Do a little research on how road trips work. 316, 309, or 300 don’t really matter for a road trip...

Set your destination in the car and follow its direction and charging recommendations. Arrive at the SC as low a battery as you can and leave when it tells you to. Don’t charge above 80% on the road trip unless it is at a destination charger.

The more times to charge to 100% the more degradation you will see overtime.

It's not so much charging to 100 that causes degradation (well really everything causes degradation for batteries. Simply existing they start to degrade). Charging to 100% and then letting it hang at 100 for a long period of time increases the speed of degradation. Charging to 100% and then driving right after it gets to 100% is totally fine (though you might as well not charge past 80% for speed on road trips anyway, and more regen).

But just forget about all that stuff and enjoy driving the car. The degradation you will experience of the life of the car under your ownership is not worth even thinking about other than for fun.

Going to charge to 100 for the first time this weekend.

Going over to my parents so they can see the car for the first time and take my dad out for a drive. He's a speed freak lol

I'm also looking forward to my first trip back home and for the same reason!
