When was the last time you charged your car?

[garth_angst]

I charged to 90% on my LR AWD, which gave me 275 on March 12th. On March 13th I knew I would be working from home starting the following week because schools in NY were closing until March 30th.
I have been to the stores a few times and just to get out so I don't forget how to drive my Tesla, and hell, I want to drive it!
I have now been working home for four weeks and I have 72 miles still left. I wonder how long I can go...

To answer your question: my car is plugged in as we speak

But all advice, even in the Tesla manual, is to keep the car plugged in at all times - "A plugged in Tesla is a happy Tesla." If you aren't going to be driving it, perhaps lower you charge to 50% or whatever, but keep it plugged in.

Charging as we spea...err...type.

Uh, you can go 72 more miles!

More if down hill (or less if up hill)

 

[garth_angst]

Long...as in time. Hahaha.

It is always plugged in when at home.

 

[ElectricIAC]

Just plug it in, set it to 90% and don’t worry. The car and BMS is smarter than most give it credit for.

I second this, clearly the healthiest option for the car. I plug it in every time I’m home regardless if I need it or not plus who knows, if there were to be a power outage best to be prepared.

It’s plugged in right now. But I’ve been charging nearly daily as I’m “essential”. So 50miles a day go on the Tesla. Today it got washed and a coat of CQuartz UK. so no driving for a cpl days. Going to put another coat tomorrow. May drive another vehicle to work on Monday.

I commute 8 miles a day RT. When we don't all have the Wuhan, I go to 75%, starting @ 5:30 AM. Now, with da 'rona, I set it to 50% and leave it plugged in. The car's always doing random *sugar*, and it says keep it plugged in in the manual, so that's what I'm doing.

Today to 80% , Lr rwd. First time in 2 weeks
Been using my wife’s x more with all this rain.

Is it searching for WIFI? that used 16 miles in 24 hours. Its a big problem for me as I cant atop the car searching, it jeeps keeps resetting and vechile is parked ataa condo with no wifi in the garage.

Just remember, the BMS doesn't balance the cells unless the state of charge is >=85%. So I've been leaving my car at 90 percent and letting the BMS do it's thing.

I work in a food processing facility...EVERYDAY! Geez people, stop hording so I can get a day off. Maybe I should be thankful we dont make TP.

Can you post a link to that information?

i rely on superchargers and urban chargers. i probably charge 2-3 times a week. usually to 90 but tomorrow ill charge to ...100 *cue evil music*

 

[Gize]

Mine is plugged in now. Got it set to 87% cause that was close to 90% when I flicked it over. I am a new owner and I get anxious when it gets below 60%. Especially with the two earthquakes and multiple tremors we've had recently. Need it ready along with the go-bags.
