if you do not have LFP I believe it is better to plug in every time you are home. Limit your car to 55% and plug it in every chance you get. if this does not affect your car's usage, there is no downside keeping the car at 55% means that your car is mostly charged up (instead of waiting til...

calendar degradation IS THE MOST SIGNIFICANT degradation As you can see, 70% is the worst SOC because it gives you almost the equivalent degradation as charging to 100%. So why not charge higher then? Cycle aging is insignificant in a battery's life span

Okay you are just lazy at this point. https://iopscience.iop.org/article/10.1149/2.0411609jes look how much the degradation of a lithium ion battery increases above 55%. But keep in mind this 55% is the true SOC of the battery which is different because an EV has a buffer in the bottom of...

depends on the model. Is that an iphone x? New iphones use a single cell. Either way it was 1 or 2 cells in parallel Modern phones use a single, L shaped battery. Pretty sure iphone x was the only iphone to ever use 2 cells...

yep the service mode test is wrong. They hide the degradation in that test i'm pretty sure the lowest real degradation in 1 year is about 2.5-3%. That's the first year and in texas that's not possible to achieve. This guy lives in sweden 5% is average but keep in mind people live in much...

why not go look for yourself? There are 100s of threads on the tesla motors club forums which talk about battery charging and link to all the scientific studies you would ever want. I just think you should do some work on your own

iphone is a single cell battery

And to say that my 10 year lifespan is made up, you can actually see this yourself. Early EVs (model s, nissan leaf, etc.) are just now starting to die with failing batteries due to high degradation (greater than 20%). The problem is that once a battery hits 20% degradation, it is unpredictable...

Tesla hides a little bit of degradation. I think 3 or 4% depending how you measure. EV batteries have say 3000 charging cycles when in normal use (maybe 300 if you discharge 80-90%), but 3000 charging cycles x 300+ mile range is over 900,000 miles. EVs do not last anywhere near 900K miles for...

your thinking is correct, but your degradation is more than you think. I would guess for a 3 year old battery charged to 50-55% it is still at 5% or higher. The average for a tesla is 5% in the first year and hot climates like texas have unavoidable degradation There are multiple ways to check...

it does not. I would bet more than 1 million dollars that if you take it to tesla and get the battery measured it is not at 96% capacity. The average degradation for a tesla in the first year of ownership alone is 5% Combine that with living in texas I would estimate your degradation over 3...

charge cycles are the equivalent full cycles of the battery. it is also misleading because 75-65% (10%) does not offer the longest cycle life. That is only the longest cycle life within what they tested. 35-45% or something like that offers the longest cycle life right on the website: High...

Battery has the lowest calendar aging at around 20-50%. Below 20% you can get something called silicon doping which is a different type of aging. It's not a problem to go down to 0% regularly. For optimal battery longevity you want to charge limit your EV to 50% and ideally discharge less than...

2024 should have FSD. Everyone is on a trial right now

does your loaner have a vertical screen or horizontal? I wonder if they have an older model X with an older form of autopilot There was a gen 1 autopilot from mobileye which outperforms 99% of adas systems today but I cannot remember if it drove dead centered like the tesla "new" autopilot does

are you talking about autopilot or FSD? Autopilot drives laser straight compared to other ADAS systems it just takes curves pretty hard FSD if your camera is not calibrated does not always drive centered

This post is completely wrong. Tesla is the straightest ADAS system you can buy in a car. No car goes as straight or as dead centered when taking steep curves. The tradeoff is that it takes them pretty hard Tesla FSD takes them more naturally in terms of speed and lane selection. But there is...

Your experience makes zero sense. Tesla autopilot is easily the straightest ADAS system in any car. Drives dead centered on every curve and takes even steep curves dead in the center. The tradeoff is it does take the curves with higher g-forces as a result.

only 58% of stations including some critical ones being missing in theory tesla will continue to build more tesla-only stations to keep up the tesla edge. Tesla can make money from the supercharger subscription, so they need the bare minimum of stations to get people to subscribe And cars with...

it's not that it's better Vision does not have this limitation. Radar does. So this is hard limitation of 99% of ADAS systems because they sense the vehicles using radar Vision does not have this limitation at all, minus of course if you have an overturned vehicle at night time with no lights...
