I've a model 3 long range coming. Will Tesla/software stop from charging to 100% all the time? or are the new batteries now 100% given the hidden buffer?
Its a company car so I'm not worried about the battery in 4 years time etc.
Charging the LR to 100% all the time really isn't necessary most of the time, the battery doesn't like it and its less enjoyable to drive, particularly in traffic as there is little to no regen above 95% charge anyway. It makes one pedal driving impossible. Right now my car shows me 303 miles available at 90%, that should be enough for any first leg of the day. Supercharging is quick and you can be on you way with 70-80% again soon. You can set the slider so it stops charging at any point from 50% upwards.
Why not take reasonable care of the battery anyway? Just because you will be handing the car on to someone else after four years, wouldn't it be better to reduce resource use and have it last as long as possible?
That's a really poor attitude - look after it and it will last for years, just because it's not for you doesn't mean you shouldn't do it.I've a model 3 long range coming. Will Tesla/software stop from charging to 100% all the time? or are the new batteries now 100% given the hidden buffer?

Although the original question isn't showing here is Elon's response to a similar question
"It’s not a big deal. Charge to 90% to 95% & you’ll be fine. At 100% state of charge, regen braking doesn’t work, because the battery is full, so car is less energy efficient."
its up to you but within 4 years you will see a bigger reduction in range if you do this all the time than if not and so the times when you really need the max range you will have less of it.Most my trips will be long ones, so i'll be looking to use full capacity, thats what i'm paying for.

Its not just charging to 100% that is bad its also how long you leave it there so if you can time it to get to 100 not long before you leave that will help if you are at all interested in preserving the battery.
