So, I'm just going to make most likely no more than 120-150 mile trip total (destination, maybe drive around then return). I was thinking of taking the charge to 100% right before I leave. That way I don't keep it at 100% for longer than 10 minutes, and get a lot of range and have plenty to spare for other potential adventures during the day.
Granted if I did, say 90% - usual for the last week for me based on Tesla recommendation (not getting into 90 vs. 80) -- 90% charge is about max 220 miles since I'm still accelerating hard and having fun. If I want to leave 20% in the tank (i.e., recommended to try to be between 20-90 for longevity reasons), that's about 50 miles. So, 150+50 = 200, giving me another 20 miles over and above leaving 50.
Thoughts? 100 (may help in keeping balanced), or since the car is new ... 90% is fine.
Thanks!
