The M3P DOES NOT have an LFP battery.

I didn't just tell you for funsies.

You said "you don't want to regularly charge over 90% unless absolutely necessary, like for trips. It says it right in the manual as well."

I'm showing you what the manual says.

I also showed you why it's ok to charge to 100% (for non LFP batteries) on the specific conditions I mentioned (not just for trips). I also didn't just tell you for funsies.

This is pretty well discussed on the Tesla forums as well, if you care to look there as well.

It doesn't matter. You don't have an LFP battery (unless Tesla just started putting them in the Performance. As far as I am aware the LFP has been limited to the base model.)

I am no stranger go the Tesla Motors Club forum as well as the various subreddits on Reddit. Did you forget I owned one of these?

If you go to any of these, most people will say they don't even charge to 90%. They will say they charge to 80% (despite Tesla saying 90% is fine). I'm not gonna argue when you just got the car and don't even seem to know what battery you have.

I know exactly what battery I have and come on man, you are not even addressing my points.:lol:

Did you race your Model 3 Performance? What was your quarter mile times and at what were your charge levels?

Did you read any of the Model 3 Driving Dynamics topics on the Tesla forums? What are the common best practices for going to the track/ dragstrip?

Did you read what others charged their Model 3's prior to going to the track? If so, what was their charge levels?

Who's "they will say they charge to 80 (despite Tesla saying 90% is fine"? Every topic on charge levels boils down to you can charge your battery to above 90% without worry for most common use cases. I'm on that forum every single day and been there for some time now.

Lastly, did you read ANY of my use cases that I stated? Do you really think keeping a charge level of 95% is going to be a problem for me for my specific use cases? If so please explain. It's not like I'm charging to 95% and then going on a two week vacation. I'm charging to 95%, going out to for a drive, and sometimes come back 15-20% less charge the way I like to drive :lol:

Well, there was this:

"I keep the charge no lower than 70%. Once it hits that I charge it back up to 95% in a few hours."

If that is your daily use case to always charge to 95% then I would say it's problematic. Not for you, as you will have probably moved on to the electric Charger with fake shifting and exhaust noises before any battery degradation is observed.

It's still not good for the battery and a feel sorry for whoever ends up with it long term.

To be fair, once the novelty wears off and I start driving sane again instead of looking for stoplight wars :lol: I'll be fine with driving the car down to say even 30% and charging back up to 85 - 90%. I should also be fine charging to 100% when going to the dragstrip because that would only be once a month once July rolls around.

I wouldn't knock on the electric charger either, I expect it to be quite a quick (as fast if not faster than a Plaid) car with a more traditional feel to it. Besides, BMW has fake noises too in their M cars and those are gas cars lol.
