Yes, I have seen that thread many times. It is quite long winded.Why wouldn't it see the bottom 50%? Just skip a day of charging, and boom, bottom 50%! You are welcome!
and you are overthinking this, and there are WAY too many variables.
As a datapoint, I had a 70 mile roundtrip commute for the first 20 months of 3 ownership. I'd charge every few days at work, sometimes one, sometimes two, occasionally three, depending on how busy the free chargers were. Pretty much always charged to 90%. I had an HPWC at home and almost never used it. Still don't, but that's because I haven't commuted to work in person since Covid. At this point, I charge once or maybe twice per week. I try to let it get down to 10-20% every now and again, but its pretty hard. Stacy's Mom is sitting out in the garage right now with 127 miles(44%) remaining(aka 289 miles at 100%), not plugged in.
Look at this thread for some more information... How I Recovered Half of my Battery's Lost Capacity
My point was Tesla recommends plugging in every single day in the owners manual and based on my routine driving schedule I would never hit below 60% if charging to 90% every day.
So my plan was to vary my charging to 70% 80% 90% and not plugging in every single day so my battery sees the bottom half SOC.
