After reading this thread yesterday, I also called and talked to Tesla technical assistance to get their recommendation on the daily charging limit. When I called and talked to them the 1st time, I clearly explained him that I regularly have been charging my car to 70% every day and noticed a decline in rated miles after the v6.2 upgrade. The rep. recommended me to charge the battery to 90% for my daily usage even after I told him that my daily % consumption is not more than 25%-30%. The reason that he gave me was that the battery life will be prolonged and is good for the battery. Later in the day, I again called them and talked to a different rep. but this time the rep. told me that I can charge anywhere between 50%-90% and it is not a problem and the battery life will still have a prolonged life even with a daily 50% charge. I then mentioned the 2nd rep. about what the 1st rep. had recommended and the 2nd rep. replied that the 1st rep. might have suggested 90% as he did not want me to charge at 50% one day and then accidentally forget to plug the car the next day due to which the car might lose some miles which might end me up with some range anxiety. I don't believe that...I am hoping that the 2nd rep was totally ignorant of pack balancing, etc, but I am not sure.
Finally I charged my car to 90% last night and I had 235 miles rated and 271 miles ideal this morning after the charge. So, looks like my rated miles is in line with the stats (238 miles rated for 90% charge) listed in one of the earlier messages in this thread. From now on, I am going to consistently charge it to 90% and see how it goes. Thanks for all the responses in this thread!
