2022 Model 3 Performance
I use 11% on the way to work and 11% on the way home so I was thinking of doing aWhile I havent seen any tendencies to this, I can asure that you do not loose real range.
It might be possible that the BMS get off track, and show less range but the battery itself lives better than ever at these low SOC ranges.
I always need longer drives at least ones a month so I havent stayed low for that long.
I might have been ~ 1.5 months at 55% and below without any higher charges but these have never showed lower range on my M3P. It has regained range by being low long time.
My MSP might “loose” a half percent/0.5 kWh after one month low. (But it always regains 0.5-1kWh that was lost from high SOC / supercharging / larger cycles.
This “recovery is probably real capacity recovered, and the possible loss after ~ 1 month would problably be the BMS getting slightly off.
I am quite sure you have less degradation from this year at 55% and below than you would have using the usual 80%.
We know that battery degradation is very predictable and does happen in a controlled rate from factors we understand.
Low SOC will preserve the battery.
You could perform a BMS calib if you like, but that only will restore displayed range, not the real drivable range. Guess you know how to perform a BMS calib?
No sentry, no perping in the app meanwhile.
The car needs to sleep at different SOC to measure the open circuit voltage (no load on the battery goves the perfect SOC reading).
The BMS would need to see high SOC and low SOC. You could do 90-100% SOC and let it sleep for three hours or so, and also single digit SOC for three hours or so as well. Several times might be needed and it could be good with sleep at 70-80% as well. (This means inducing slight extra degradation to reach your goal of a BMS calib)
100% charge
Then sit at work at 89%
Then sit at home at 78%
Then the next day will be 67-56 etc
I’ll do this over 3 days without charging until I get below 20%
Should I do a 100% charge like every 3 months since I don’t have any long trips? Even if it’s just the estimator and not a real loss it still bothers me lol
