Maintaining charge at 100%

[brenjt]

We are leaving on a trip tomorrow and to prepare we charged the Tesla to 100% so we can make it further. It got to 100% way earlier than we expected. Is it a problem if we keep it plugged in and charged at 100% all night long?

Problem? No, just don’t do it frequently, especially in hot weather.

Slightly better to plan for the charge to finish in the morning close to your departure time. If you really can't, keep it to 100% for the night. As Zoomit says, don't do too often for long periods.

Interesting we see complaints that our beloved Teslas charge too fast

Kind of related but I read somewhere on here that it is good to charge to 100% every so often to help with the battery range setting. Any truth to that?

I have had my new S since June and charge to 85% daily and 95% on trip mornings. Have had it now for almost 30k miles since June. Only down to belwo 15% once or twice. Good practices or not?

80% to 20% IF it works for you, the battery probably last over 20 years. home charge to 100% for balancing once in a while.

seems to be what I read. READ your manual and tell us what it says -- thanks.
