Hey all --
I did some data analysis and thought it warranted a new thread. I'm going to post what I posted in another thread and I'd like to get some options on it. Below is my data from the post and a link to my spreadsheet with all the data at the bottom. Scroll to the bottom of the spreadsheet to see the final conclusions.
Take a look at this data... I took all the data from TeslaFi that was from charges above 50% and included incomplete charges as well to see if I could extract some information from it. The link to my sheet is below. I attempted to find out if there was something that resulted in a positive change in the Estimated Range at 100%, on average, so I could see if there was a trend of some kind. This could give me tips to what charging practices that may help us figure this out. This is what I found.
From the data in the link below, I found that on average:
The average change in "Charge %" that resulted in a DECREASE of "Estimated Range at 100%" was 0.0256%.
In the data, you can also see that it was more impactful to increase the Charge % because on average it reduced the Estimated Range at 100% by 0.9268 miles which was more impactful than decreasing charges that resulted in an average increase of 0.7644. It hurts the Estimated Range at 100% more to increase the charge % than it does to lower it. Thats the theory at this point.
To boil it down: We should do more, smaller decreases in charge % and less, larger increases of charge %. If you do an increase, do it in one big charge, then do many charges with slightly decreased amounts.
See the bottom of my spreadsheet for these numbers in the link below.
Following this logic, if it's true, I should start by charging to 95% then every time I charge, decrease the charge to % by something like 5 or 10% to see if you get an increase in the Estimated Range at 100%, on average. So for me, something along the lines of:
Sunday - Charge to 95% and drive it down to 90% (So it's not at 95% very long)
Monday - Charge to 90%
Tuesday - Charge to 85%
Wednesday - Charge to 80%
Thursday - Charge to 75%
Friday - Charge to 70%
Saturday Charge to 65%
Here is the link to my spreadsheet where I came to these findings:

Let me know what you think!
