Model X question - My Y will take about 5 - 6 hours to go from 20 - 80% what should i expect for charge times for the X since its a bigger battery?
Tesla general question - If the car sits Sunday - Thursday, I WAH, should it be plugged in Saturday - Wednesday with 50% set and Thursday bring it up to 80% since ill be using it the weekend or let it sit with whatever charge it has all week?
This is interesting - The tech came to my house for another reason, Model Y my X is on order, but anyway this is what he told me:
1. there is a 80/20 or 90/10 rule that Tesla recommends. If you charge to 80% then you dont charge again until its @20%. If you charge to 90% then dont charge again until 10%. Which I think is totally wrong.
2. He said that the degradation comes from charge cycles - his example was if you have 300 cycles until you see degradation then charging every day would start to see it in 1 yr whereas if you charged once a week you would see it in 3 years.
I told him thats not what the manual says and he still stood his ground saying the manual was written before they found this out.
Also, I was told by the same tech that I should change my charging amps to 30/35 instead of the 40/48, I have a 50-amp breaker, because it puts more stress on the breaker which does get warm, the wires, charger and the car. If you are just letting it charge overnight who cares if it takes longer to charge at the lower amps. Thoughts ?????
