How often is too often to top up the charge on a (new) 2022 M3 RWD w/LFP battery?
At the moment we're plugging it back in after even ultra short trips using as little as 1% of the battery. Typically this is twice a day.
It kind of sounds like this is the right thing to do from the Tesla website but it just feels kind of wrong. I wouldn't do it to my phone or other battery based device... Tesla site says "LFP Battery, Tesla recommends that you keep your charge limit set to 100%, even for daily use, and that you also fully charge to 100% at least once per week."
Which is followed by: "Tesla uses lithium ion batteries so there is no memory effect. This means there is no need to deplete the battery before charging. We recommend plugging in as often as possible."
