another one of those damn EVs combusting on the pavement in London... (no one was unjured) - glad our @Tesla has cabin pressurization with "biohazard mode"
How to look after your Long Range Tesla Battery!
Advice from Jeff Dahn, who's lab is partnered with @Tesla: https://t.co/qaWZxeNJDn
The key takeways of this video are:
1) Jeff's advice in the video only applies to high nickel batteries in long range vehicles! Not LFP standard range vehicles.
2) High temperatures kill batteries. If you go on a holiday/vacation during the summer, leave your vehicle at a low SOC (state of charge). For example: At or below 30% SOC
3) Cycle within a narrow SOC range. For example: 40-60% rather than 10-80%. The cathode expands and contracts in a wider SOC range, which causes it to break apart.
4) On that note: The lower the narrower the SOC range, the better. That means charging frequently.
5) Avoid charging the vehicle above 75% SOC. Above 75% side reactions start occuring that cause degradation. This also reduces the volume expansion issues mentioned in 3).
6) Taking all variables into account, operating between 45-70% SOC and storage at ~30% is ideal.
7) Occasional high SOC and wide SOC range are okay! For example, the occasional roadtrip.
8) With good thermal management hardware and battery managment software, supercharging should have minimal negative effect on cycle life.

It's worth watching because Jeff Dahn is one of the fathers of the Lithium Ion battery and his lab is partnered with Tesla.
News:
The beautiful new @tesla V3 #supercharger at Giga4 Berlin, Brandenburg added new V4 superchargers to the chargers! This is the sixth location worldwide with V4 chargers.
They are the new models with the cardreaders.
They also finished a beautiful solarpanel roof.
This is the future of charging!

I would like to thank Zach Kirkhorn for his many contributions to Tesla over the course of 13 often difficult years.
Much appreciated and best wishes for the next stage of his career.
