Hey guys had a question regarding charging that I was hoping to get some information on.
So before I got my M3, I remembered reading earlier on from a tweet from Elon that an 80% SOC was ideal for battery health with regards to daily commuting.
After having my car for a week, I've noticed that I really am not driving all that much. In the last 10 days I averaged anywhere between 10-20% of battery usage. The most I have used so far has been around 25% which brought me down to 55% battery, and this was a complete outlier day, and I don't expect many of these at all. So I'm wondering in an effort to maintain the life of my battery should I still be charging to 80%, or should I think about reducing it down. Is the difference between 80% SOC and say for example 70% so negligible in the long run that it doesn't really matter?
Would love to hear your thoughts!
