Yep, now shows 80% daily charge rate. That won’t get me the range I need in the winter, but awaiting HV batt No3 so see what happens anyway.

Tesla app recommending charge level now?

Yeah, happened with last week's software update. It's better than the traditional approach of forcefully removing range, but nonetheless they are effectively removing range with this change since people generally follow the manufacturer's use and maintenance recommendations.

Tesla agrees to pay owners for cutting range and charging rate on some cars
Owners saw range significantly reduced for nearly a year, due to a series of software-related limits imposed through over-the-air updates.

Is the charge limit over 80%? If not try sliding it past 80%. In iOS, the tip doesn’t show at 80% or less.

On Nick it says 90%, and only when I set a limit over 90.

I have a 2022 MSLR on 2023.26.8. The daily charge slider in the car tops out at 80%.

However, the taxi / rideshare drivers (and those on road trips) are likely to use up some of the charge relatively soon, so the battery does not stay at 100% for very long under their use patterns.
No, they aren't removing range. You can up it to above 80% any time you like.
Since batteries degrade, and especially given Tesla not having a big top buffer to hide it, you can't use full range for daily driving anyway.
I generally defer updates to my car. My friends mentioned their cars had 80% and it wasn't until I updated did my app start saying 80% was the new recommended charge. The new 80% recommendation is tied to the most recent software update.
Technically lithium batteries, like the ones in your cell phones, degrade less if you only charge them up to 80% instead of 100%. I was a bit surprised 90% was the recommendation from Tesla for a while.

Be careful doing that. In the warranty fine print it says you need to do updates to stay under warranty.

Low-mileage 2022 M3P (see signature) and mine also displays the 80% recommendation instead of 90%.
I rarely charge above 50% except when taking a trip like I did two weeks ago. Charged to 96% early in the morning, drove 265 miles that day before hitting the SC where I charged to 90% for the return home. (~40 minutes from 6% to 90%, $29.40 for the electrons.)

I rarely charge less than 90% because it's only a "performance" model when the battery is in the 90's. By 89% it's just a peppy grocery-getter.

We charge to 50-60% daily. It is what my wife needs to go round trip to work with some errands if she likes. We obviously charge higher when going on a longer trip.
My 4680 battery MY changed from 90 to 80 as well. 80% gives me about 5-6 hrs of driving in my experience.

I think you're good down to about 75%... bigger losses after that.
