The reason to charge an LFP battery to 100% once a week is to recalibrate the Battery Management System and to balance the charge across all the cells. The voltage of an LFP cell varies very little between 90% and 100%, so the BMS needs an occasional 100% charge to recalibrate.
SAME for our Custom Drive Lithium Cart. Simply plug it in and forget it. The battery management system does it all.

Shame on you for bringing actual real world experience and facts to the discussion!
Don't you know we have some regulars on here that are too smart for that bs. lol
Bottom line, with almost all the newer ev's you just plug them in and forget it. As you said, the charging system manages it. Just like a big Battery tender, they've been around forever.
