Yes, 10-80% is better than 0-70% according to the Battery University article... How to Prolong Lithium-based Batteries - Battery Universityof course it is. but the question is... is 0 - 70% better than 10-80%?
The commet of staying above 9% is easy but not every country has dense supercharger coverage like the USA. I.e. my nearest supercharger is 1350km away. So the cars see a lot of deep cycling from i.e. 95% to 3%.
Interesting data... thanks for sharing.Check Out This Official Tesla Model S/X Battery Capacity Degradation Chart
Battery capacity degradation over time or distance traveled is one of the several main concerns in terms of electric cars. Let's see Tesla's results.insideevs.com
Any idea on what the real world experience is for Model Ss that have been in the field for many years and have had hundreds of charge cycles? Surely we should have a better understanding of how those batteries have degraded over time? I have had my car for 6.5 years and I am nowhere near a pioneer as people have had cars for several years longer and driver WAY more than me as I have only driven 65,000km in my time.

Re-read the paper... the key point is you do not want to draw down your battery to 0%. The number of useful cycles will be dramatically reduced.Not according to this paper i posted earlier which suggested that even heavy current draw at <10% is kinder to the battery than cycles at i.e. 70%.
Though i am of course aware of the battery university article too.

I've been staring at those charts and read all the BU articles, but still couldn't see where 10-80% is better than 0-70%...Yes, 10-80% is better than 0-70% according to the Battery University article... How to Prolong Lithium-based Batteries - Battery University

Hello!
I just got my LR refresh and was wondering if I could get some guidance.
I have a 14-50 plug I use to charge to 80% but honestly I don’t plan on driving it everyday since I work from home.
Should I continue to charge to 80% or something lower?
Also, should I charge it slower since I don’t plan on using it often like turn down the amps?
Any help is appreciated. Thanks!!
Better to charge more often with shallower cycles. A full cycle is 100% to 0 to 100%. If you charge from 50% to 60%, that's only 1/10th of a cycle. It's not the quantity of charges as much as the depth of charges.I just bought a 2014 P85+ a few weeks ago, the few times I've charged to 100% for a trip, it charged to 243 so it's lost about 9% over the years. I'd like to preserve the battery as much as possible.
I charge now to 80% and recharge at about 20% every 3-4 days. It seems if I charge at the max 48amps it charges the quickest but has the least inefficiency according to Teslafi. If I charge at 20-25amps it does much better. So not sure if slower is better or not.
Also, some of the suggestions are to charge to 50% and charge more frequently. But does doing that effect battery life more due to increased charge cycles?
I think people are unnecessarily concerned about this. I was too.
60-70-80-90 are all fine. No meaningful degradation to the battery will happen in the entirety of your car ownership choosing one charge level over the other. Whatever battery degradation that will happen, if any, will still be far less than brain degradation due to stressing about this.
I have not changed anything. I plug in and leave plugged in. It charges to 90%. I do not expect to keep the vehicle more than 3 years

Good for you but you are clearly not a serious contender to this discussion.
