Rod, thanks for your post. There's a real gold mine of information in it.

Do what Tesla recommends and don’t do what you read on forums.

I guess I've been doing the wrong thing,
With tenary chemistries, you want to keep them as close to 50% as
practical, and I'd say at least 3-4 times a year go to 100%, but don't keep
it there for more than a few hours. (Like take it there right before you
leave for a road trip) That lets the BMS do its top balance, which is
needed.

I guess I've been doing the wrong thing, because I've never charged to
100%. It doesn't give any more range than 98%, unless you always start
by driving on the highway or up a hill, because you don't get regen
Really nice informative video. A couple of additional comments from a former
battery management system engineer, to the real nerds out there: First,
charging to 100% affects more than just range estimation. It also effects
accuracy of cell-to-cell balancing, and hence actual range! Small leakag

Thanks - that's an interesting and well produced piece.
I've always read that 20-80% is the optimum for energy throughput with most
battery types.
I wonder why they didn't test that regime, only 0-[25|60|8
