I have a basic charging question for those of you that have had a Tesla for an extended period of time. Everywhere I read there are posts that say when you are at home, you should keep your car plugged in and charging at ALL times, preferably staying between the magic 20% - 80% range to keep from causing any permanent damage to the battery.
My question is this, the distance I travel to work is just enough to where if I were to charge my Model 3 to 90%, I could actually make the drive twice on one charge and stay slightly above the magic 20% range. So is it harder on the battery to charge to 90% and charge every other day or charge to only 80% and charge daily?
It would cut the number of actual charges in half but it would also cause me to charge the battery to 90% which according to everywhere I have read is not recommended on a frequent basis. Thoughts? Any real world experience on this to know if charging to 90% is actually deterimental to the battery?
I guess I am asking what is harder on the battery, charging to the higher capacity (90% vs 80%) or charging more frequently (daily vs every two days)…
