I understand about not charging on a regular basis to 100%, and typically only charging to full when you are about to head out on a trip.
Picked up my Model 3 a few days ago, and while I have been charging overnight to about 70%, I am planning on a short trip (about 200km /125 miles each way) on Sunday from Toronto to London, Ontario and back.
I can schedule when my car starts charging but obviously not when it stops. If I plan to leave Toronto around 7 am on Sunday morning and I want to leave with as full a charge as possible, is it just "estimating" when I should start the charge so that it reaches 100% as close as possible to when I want to leave?
Or do I charge to, for example, with a setting to 90% overnight, and then as soon as I wake up Sunday morning, boost it to 100%? Not sure how long that last 10% would take so may not have enough time to make it all the way to 100%.
Just wondering about "best practices".
Thx
