Please re-read my post. Actually, just re-read the first 4 WORDS. I was ONLY referring to best practice for cycling Tesla batteries WHEN TAKING LONG TRIPS. How did misconstrue the WHOLE point of my post? Discharging to 0 percent and charging to 100% is perfectly acceptable for the batteries under certain situations. You are correct. However, on long trips, to maximize distance and minimize charging time, you want to charge the batteries between 5 and 60 percent approximately.
