then you have to drive right after 100% charged. This is what tesla recommends. You can talk to them, which will make you feel more confident.

Why are you so afraid to use the vehicle as you need to? Pretty sure you have a warranty that covers you on any excessive battery degradation.

Sorry to be snide. I needed more coffee this morning. 
Tesla has said to use the vehicle as you see fit. The battery is covered against excessive degradation and damage (including fires) short of intentional destruction.
The battery management systems are Tesla's bread and butter. If I were you, I would not be afraid to charge it up to 100% a few times a week if you need that much range for the day.
Edit: There's a bunch of great threads on this in the S forums. Here's one I found on page 3...
Impressed how the battery holds up after 73k miles

Still Trying to Figure This All Out
Some of this reduction I assume is the fact that the battery sensing capability needs to be recalibrated. I understand this has no effect on range, just how it is reported.
Is there some rule of thumb on how often the recalibration should take place?

Some of this reduction is also due to the expected build-up of by-products around the anode/cathode, which slightly reduces range, but also creates a protective layer to prevent further build-up. You range should reduce a bit over the first year, but then it should stabilize.
However, some new tires have a negative impact on range, and after a bit of wear, the range improves (offsets the battery degradation a bit), so there are definitely more variables out there than just the battery.

Yes...good question...12:00 a.m. 90%. Have thought about taking it down to 80%, but the Tesla line now is go to 90% daily. I don't know what to do....was hoping to stay at 230 but a FEW have reported theirs got better over time.
I get my car back tomorrow after 2 1/2 weeks in Bel Red Auto, Tesla and then back to the detail shop (Northwest Auto Salon) to replace the wrap on the trunk. Tesla is paying for it. Very small pin head paint defect from removal of the Tesla badge, but NW Auto fixed it, clear coated and the badge largely covered it.
mine is 239 (the highest i've seen yet) with under 300 miles on it. but it slowly drops its charge while sitting in the garage. been sitting for 2 days and is at 228 right now, but it seems it recharges back to 90% since I've seen 234, 237 etc at different times.

Try scheduling your charge closer to when you will use it. Check your 90% as soon as charge completes. Some have reported vampire drain or climate control eating up a few miles after a full charge.

Thanks @system..etc...It only charged to 227 and vamped one RM in the next 6 hours.

I'm wondering if the Summer weather is what is causing this, 227 seems a bit too low for 90% on a P90D. Have you ever run your battery down below 5-10% ?
My P90D used to 90% at 230 but lately it charges to 229. I do mostly local driving for my commute with two long distance trips so far. Does the 90% charge adjust to reflect driving behavior?
I have a Sig P90D with Ludicrous mode. 22 inch Pirelli Scorpion Zero all weather tires, 10,345 miles on the car today. Just charged to 90% and the car shows 218 miles of rated range available.
