I bought this car used in December. It’s a 2017 S100D. When I first got it if I set charging to 80% it would charge to 251 miles. Now three months later only charges to 245 miles. Is that normal? Seems 2 miles a month is a lot.

Great info. I’ll give it a try. I notice the Tesla fast chargers seem to lower range pretty quickly.Run it low, and charge to 100% a few times in a row, will help the BMS recalculate out the full capacity.
Yes I charge to 80% all the time and only drive 40-50 miles. I read yesterday that charging to only 50% is better on the battery so I’m going to try that for a month.My range suffers when I consistently charge to 70 or 80 percent, and don't ever get it below 40% in local driving. The Battery Management System probably just needs a bigger range to recalibrate. Get down to below 15% and charge to 90%, if it matters, and range will likely recover (maybe twice). Personally, I don't worry about it. When I charge to 100% and go on a trip immediately, the range is restored to a good level. It is just the BMS being conservative. Generally no worries.
Not at all.Great info. I’ll give it a try. I notice the Tesla fast chargers seem to lower range pretty quickly.
Incorrect. STORING it at 50% is best for the battery. For daily use, keep it between about 30-90%Yes I charge to 80% all the time and only drive 40-50 miles. I read yesterday that charging to only 50% is better on the battery so I’m going to try that for a month.

With Tesla's? Not really. Impact is basically negligible. The heat build up is the problem, and Tesla's Thermal management is very good. Compare to the original Nissan Leaf (I say original, as I'm not familiar with the mechanics of the new generation Leaf, but very familiar with the original).Really? I read the fast chargers shorten battery life.
One other thing I will note, Tesla has changed the supercharging profile a number of times in the last 11 years.Really? I read the fast chargers shorten battery life.
