I have a job for which I travel 100%. I'll be gone for 12 days at a time; I fly out on a Monday and don't return home until the next week Friday. And then wash, rinse, and repeat that next week. With the pandemic I've been working remotely from home. But when overall travel becomes safer again, I'll be back to traveling and being gone for 12 days at a time.
I still have yet to get a delivery date set for my Model 3. I've been reading up on the preferred charging practices for the best batter health of the Tesla. For the most part, I'll pretty much keep the charge somewhere between 20%-85% on any given day. I"m wondering about the Sunday before I fly out the next day for nearly 2 weeks. Since the batter discharges about 1% day, should I charge up closer to 95%+ when I know that I'll be away from my car for 12 days? Also, I live in an apartment complex on the 2nd floor and don't have any feasible wall charging options, not even the 120V outlet. So, my car won't be constantly plugged into a power source while I'm gone.
Anybody think I'll further damage the battery over time if I charge up to 95-100%, just before I fly out for 2 weeks of work, so that I have more of my charge when I ultimately get back home? Or just suck it up and keep charging the way I usually do, whether I plan to be gone for 2 weeks or not?
