Part 4/8:
In an effort to maintain battery health, the host reveals recommendations that Tesla technicians suggest for long-range battery packs. For daily usage, it's advisable to avoid charging beyond 80% and to keep the battery within an optimal range—ideally between 30% and 60%. However, to effectively recalibrate the battery management system, it's acceptable and beneficial to occasionally deplete the battery fully before recharging it to 100%.
Following expert advice, the host deliberately ran his Model Y down to a minimal charge of 3% before plugging it in overnight. This practice allows the vehicle's system to recalibrate and balance the cells by utilizing the full capacity of the battery, thereby improving performance marginally.
