Posted this on a popular Tesla subreddit 3 days ago and nobody ever responded. Quite helpful they are...
Anyways, today is 1 week with my new M3LR. Still love it and make any excuse I can to go drive somewhere. Put 500 miles so far just around town, but first road trip is tomorrow.
I have a few questions I can't seem to find an answer to.
Thanks!

I have a few questions I can't seem to find an answer to.
- I have a 14-50 outlet and keep the Tesla (don't use third party apps for charging) set at 75% battery. However, every time I have gotten back in, it's always at 74%. Not a big deal, I am just OCD and am genuinely curious. I have read of people using third party apps to set charge limits and this might happen, but I am setting the limit straight on the Tesla.
- I live in Cincinnati, so I typically condition the battery in the morning when it is cold and still plugged in (either by a scheduled departure or just turning on the climate control 15-20 minutes before I leave). However, the battery is always at 73% when I get in, or will be at 74% but drop to 73% as I am pulling out of my driveway. Is this because the heater is pulling more energy that the charger can replenish it? If I precondition for say an hour, will it drop even more?
Thanks!
