We picked up our dial motor long range battery Model 3 in November of 2018.
I recently noticed on our charging screen that one can manually set the amp charging rate. After a recent software update, ours was set to 5 amps, so obviously charge times became very long.
We have a properly installed Tesla Charger with #2 wire and 80amp breaker. We were previously charging at the set 48 amps, and the charge screen does allow us to reset up to that amount.
For longevity optimism, we have constrained the max battery charge to about 80% (245-248mi) and use 60 mi as our “empty setting” (20% of the 300mi range.) Because we live on an island, we rarely go below 150mi remaining.
My question is—is there any data on charging rates lower than 48 amps positively affecting Tesla battery longevity? Any detail available?
