As long as you're not charging the upgraded battery to 100% very often the difference should be negligible.In the same situation. I'm curious whether there's any effect on battery life, to do it sooner or in (say) a year or two.
Yes.Will Tesla change the badge for you to a 75d like they do with the ludicrous upgrade?
Curious how the transition happens? Just call and pay via credit card over the phone?
If I was buying today, I'd do the same thing. 60D, cash in the credits, then use the $ to make it a 75D.
You do realize your checking account number is displaying on that picture? Might want to edit your post...
If you charge your 70 to 100% that's actually 75 charged to 93%. If the recommendation is 80% you are already over that recommendation.
That is true. So, I wonder why Tesla Service said it would be just fine if I did it this way?
Here is my thought process.
I ordered a 70D with a physical 75 kwh battery in it. It is obviously software limited to 70 kwh. The advantage to keeping it at 70 is I can charge it to 100% each time and not effect the long term effects on battery life (confirmed by Tesla Service).
So, currently I have charging set at 100% which translates to 240 miles. But 240 miles is not actually 100% of the physical 75 kwh battery. So, I won't hurt the battery when I charge at 100% each time. If I were to upgrade to remove the software limit then I would get 257 miles or so. But the recommendation is to run the charge at 80%. They even have that nice little suggested line in the graphics to show where to do that. But 80% of 257 miles turns out to be 205.6 miles. I would have to manually charge the battery to 90% or so to protect the 75 kwh unlocked battery. 90% of 257 miles is 231 miles. I still lose 9 miles. I would have to then manually charge to 93% to get back to 240 miles for a charge. Personally, I would rather just slide the control to 100% and get 240 miles rather than mess with the details of worrying if I got 90 or 93% charge just to get what I automatically got when my battery was at 70 kwh at 100%.
Plus I get to keep $3250 upgrade charge in my pocket. WIN-WIN
