1. Avoid Charging to 100% Daily
Unless you’re going on a long trip, keep your charge between 20-80%. This helps reduce battery degradation over time. Learn more from Tesla here.
2. Limit Fast Charging
While Supercharging is convenient, frequent use can accelerate battery wear. Opt for slower home charging when possible to maintain battery health.
3. Reduce Phantom Drain
Phantom drain happens when your Tesla loses power while parked. Use features like ‘Energy Saving Mode’ and avoid unnecessary app checks to minimize this silent battery drain.
4. Precondition Your Battery
Before driving in extreme temperatures, precondition your Tesla while it’s still plugged in. This ensures optimal temperature without draining your driving range.
