Get to the point. 1. Don’t full charge. 2. Don’t empty. 3. Keep it warm.
-
Bla bla bla ..... 1:don’t charge full, 2:don’t empty, 3:bla bla bla.... and Battery Cost: $10-20k

Thank you, Sean; this was good info. We purchased our long-range model 3 in March of 2018 and absolutely love it.
-
Thanks for the honest review without trying to cover up your mistakes, and sharing them with all of us that are new to Tesla. For one I am much appreciative of your video Thanks
-
Thank you for these valuable tips, Sean, though I did get other information as well that charging with SC or home/destination charger would only affect the battery in (at most) just a few percentages. I was shown the same Excel as you have showed, I think. Another thing that I can add here is that it's not good to charge to 100% and then leave the car parked afterwards. So if you are on the way and you sleep somewhere in a hotel near a SC, it's better to start SC in the morning before you leave, instead of the evening before and then leave the car parked all night. Just my 2 cents ;-)...

Thanks for the tips....I have a new Chevy Bolt.
-
Thanks nice video. Do you have any recommendations on good floor mats for weather conditions like Colorado which you have used?
-
Thanks for the advice and sharing your experience.
-
It's not really the so called "High Voltage" that damages the battery...it's the high current.
-
Sean Nissan says that it doesn't hurt to charge a 2018 Nissan Leaf battery to 100%. Is the Tesla battery different?
-
Thanks Sean for putting in the time and effort to create this video. Great job! 👍
-
That advise is very useful not just for cars but to all other devices or appliances that use Lithium Ion batteries, including battery powered electric tools, cellphones, radios, cameras, tablet computers and laptop computers, etc. Thanks for the advice.
-
You are right- 60 kw battery is not for a real estate agent. You need a 3, or an X, or an S. With the largest battery they have. And stop charging to 100%
-
I hope you can get a new battery. I would love to see a Tesla with a million miles on it someday. best of luck . I always enjoy your videos
-
Thank you so much Sean. It’s very helpful.
-
Thanks Sean. Great advice. It was might seem obvious but don't be surprised if some people are one of what Uncle Sean does.
-
Take the 75kwh pack but use the hilltop reserve limiting it to about 85-90% max charge, best of all worlds.
-
Get the model 3 with the bigger battery. You most likely don't need a bigger car. And the battery pack in the 3 is supposed to be an improvement.
-
Hey thank you for this. Planning on getting a Model S
-
Good video Sean. I have a 60 kWh MS too. Don’t supercharge a lot except on roadtrips. Was planning to do SC more, but you gave me something to thank about!
