Supercharging - 90% Limit vs Early Cutoff

[E90Tony]

Is there any difference in setting the charge limit to 90% vs setting the limit to 100% but shutting off early at 90% in terms of the battery management system / long term side effects?

None.

Why do it manually when you can do it automatically

If you don't plan on leaving the car at hundred percent for hours on en,, maybe days, then there is no damage at all to even letting it go all the way. On a road trip, most of the time that I, at least, use the supercharger Network, I'm always going to go as soon as I'm ready. Generally I'm ready before the car hits a hundred percent. I never drop it below 100%, don't want to pay those idle fees!

Tesla really should change how the 100% charging setting is managed, since charging above 90% is intended for only occasional use, when charging prior to a drive that requires the extra range.

Setting the charge level above 90% should be used only for the next charging session. And once the car drives away from the charger, the charging level should be reduced to 90%.
