Great video man! Ordered a Tesla Model 3 RWD last month. Est delivery is Jan 2023. Never had a Tesla before so your videos are perfect for us newbies. Keep up the good work!

[@EverydayChris]

Woohoo thanks loco!

[@mrdabbler545]

So pumped to start using your tips starting Friday after 2 when I pick up my Tesla!

[@frankfrati4]

Thanks for this update. Taking mine in for my replacement Monday 🤞

[@WV-HillBilly]

Keep hearing this “don’t supercharge often” myth on these videos. I’m not sure where they get their information but my 2018 Model 3 is at 92% Health, exclusively supercharged, 110,000 miles.

[@EverydayChris]

it's not proven but chemically it makes sense. Glad it's not true

[@specialkcitizen6263]

I met an obsessive Tesla driver who religiously wouldn't charge above 75% and never let it below 40%. That is actually worse than charging form 106 to 100% every day. The battery never learns it has more capacity

[@idus]

I charge in Tustin when I go to micro center and it’s always full. Not a long wait though.

[@donaldwyatt2630]

Been watching your videos for a while. Great content and creative without recycling old ideas. Thank you for that! I have a question on this one. When you recalibrate, are you recalibrating the ability to compute an estimation of the miles or is the battery itself optimizing to maximize miles (battery health)? I get the impression the battery itself is not degrading or improving in this process and it is just the ability to measure distance remaining that is being optimized...

[@EverydayChris]

Computing! There a bms system that shows you the range but can get funky if it doesn’t know various charge levels which is why we calibrate however actual miles on the pack itself stay the same

[@briang896]

Oh the suspense you gave, seeing if she was charging 🤣 glad you updated us. 👌🏼

[@Keeping-It-Real-55]

I don't remember a times the supercharging didn't pop loudly on my car. It was worrysome the first few times though.

[@Milan-cw7zs]

You deserve way more followers than you have! Thanks for the great videos and tips.

[@lesru7]

11:18 Thanks Chris for pointing out the popping noise thing.

[@T3chAndThings]

I don’t have a charger since I live in a condo but I do have super chargers near me, luckily in my case I don’t drive a lot so I only super charge once every week.

[@EverydayChris]

Not bad you’ll be good

[@cn8299]

Just started watching you and after seeing you complain about not enough superchargers in Irvine, I decided to check my area and there's not a single supercharger in all of Corona/Riverside/Norco wtf?? What is with this supercharger blackhole?

[@101rotarypower]

Hey Chris, possible for a update on capacity?

[@TOandMore]

For vacation parking (or long un-used parking), can you do a video on using solar battery charger/maintenance for Tesla12V battery? Will 10w panel be enough to keep up with Sentry Mode on? Does Tesla circuit allow external 12V charging?

[@EverydayChris]

Hmm solar battery??? I don’t think it allows external charging

[@T3chAndThings]

Im not sure if you got the latest software update between 2022.20.7 or 2022.20.8 but you can enable the brakes to be used when you are 100% charged to get some regen.

[@EverydayChris]

Yeah I’m still on the beta so no update yet!

[@marsEv310]

Try changing to 100% at an electrify charger. Tesla super charger tops at 70kw at 100%. Electrify will charge to 75kw at 100% maybe that’s where your missing miles have gone. You will need a CCS1 charger adapter for comparable speeds as a V3 charger

[@EverydayChris]

If it lets me! A lot of times they force me to stop charging after 1 hour

[@Stevenohhngo]

Wooo Irvine neighbors! Keep up the great videos, can’t wait for my model 3

[@linkkiller7272]

Yup. I’ve seen him drive up culver. And that is a great supercharger. Thanks for the in depth video. Learned new things about those new batteries and a potential recalibration.

[@EverydayChris]

You gotta honk and wave next time

[@linkkiller7272]

@@EverydayChris for sure! I will get your attention if I see you. If you ever want to do videos and use my M3 LR for comparison, let me know. I live in the community just south of where you are… if you catch my drift.

[@Chevy2U]

As a (newbie) Tesla and (OG) Corvette owner, Vette owners always wave, can't say the same about Tesla owners.

[@ckohlermn]

I've waited longer in line to get gas a Costco.

[@EverydayChris]

Haha

[@wittech6116]

One thing I noticed, when your car said “charging complete” it was still drawing 15+amps of current. That tells me the battery was still taking a charge.

[@EverydayChris]

Climate was on. I left the charge plugged in for days but it stayed the same lol

[@ruspashov2514]

Just curious if the range actually changed at all after that many months of use and recalibrate - since the video is 11 months old now ..

[@ZIlberbot]

general rules for batteries (no matter how good or bad they are) - need to try not drain battery to very low level - not often use supercharge (only if its needed for long trips) as high current will shorten their life

[@alexsmith6271]

Fake info. You can go below 5% on tesla easy. You need to read some studies to understand

[@ZIlberbot]

@@alexsmith6271 fake is how to relate that info. If taken into account that Tesla is designed to show 5% or 0% when its batteries are not fully empty , then that infor seems not really fake 😁 In general, all well designed Litium batteries stop offer energy when they still have some energy inside to avoid full discharge and to keep their long life

[@JuanMii24]

I daily supercharge mine and AC aswell. After 146k miles I lost only 8% capacity.

[@WV-HillBilly]

fake news: 110,000 miles, exclusively Supercharged, 92% capacity 2018 Model 3

[@carlosvelasquez9922]

Model 3 ? Supercharging at what percentage??​@@JuanMii24

[@brandonn161]

OMG this video came out at such a good time! I was planning to recalibrate my battery this weekend. I have a 21 m3 SR+ and after a year and 11k miles, the car is showing I have a max range of 224mi when the EPA rating is 260. So really hoping that this will help fix the BSI calculation. Just one thing that I am not 100% sure on...after charging it back up to 100%, do you need to run it down low single digit % again?

[@EverydayChris]

Nope. Once is good.

[@theaviationchannel3501]

What were the results of your recalibration? I also have a 2021 sr+.

[@elijahyisrael9144]

Yo Chris, Is there anyway to determine the battery health of a Tesla if ur buying it used? Do u have any videos on this?

[@EverydayChris]

Wow how did you know coming soon

[@steveallen1055]

They're adding a second Tustin Supercharger location at Red Hill and Walnut. The charger next to you has the blue sign, so it's a handicap spot. You live in Irvine and wave to other Tesla owners? You'll spend all day waving.

[@EverydayChris]

Hahah. Ohh that’s why nobody parked next to me.

[@timers]

What version software is that at 10:05?

[@EverydayChris]

That’s the old v10 software!

[@EconBobWong]

Ayyy let us see more of Simba the king 👑👑. Great video!

Haha will do!

[@jrnunez4026]

Halo I have a question I just bought a tesla 2023 it shows miles 267 and I charge it 100% it take a trip it only get me 170 miles is that normal or is in issue with the battery already please advise 🙏

[@EverydayChris]

try doing the battery health test and see what you get! I have a video on it

[@frecklesx20]

Love your videos

[@STRIDwastaken]

Tesla's guide to charging actually says to plug it in at home (if possible) everyday no matter how much you drive

[@EverydayChris]

You know you made it kind of when someone steals your profile photo and makes some weird account! Lollll

[@EverydayChris]

Yeah but again doesn’t let the battery recalibrate so in general it’s ok but from time to time let it drain to different percentages

[@michaelcrz1430]

Hmm would this work with LFP? I got a 2022 M3 standard range, 7months old with 10k miles. I am not getting the max of 272 and down to 267 at 100%. I charge everyday and plug the charger when at home. Your thoughts? ….Thanks

[@EverydayChris]

Try it. It works diff cause of the chemistry but see how it goes

[@TheGreatSantini500]

I don't own a Tesla, but before Tesla was around, I'd spent about ten years as a hobbyist flying large rc models (planes, helis) with lithium batteries when the industry was just starting, i.e. experimental. Point being, I gained a LOT of experience with lithium batts in terms of best practice, cell balancing, resistance, state of charge/discharge, problems, etc. You have a replacement reconditioned pack made up of hundreds of cells, therefore, you have no idea the lifecycle / state of these cells, whether they are aged, in a state of balance, their internal resistance, cell damage, etc. That sound / knock you heard during charging, could that be thermal expansion (heat)? I've seen and experienced fires in the hobby and a battery getting hot is an issue. I've seen some youtubes where Tesla via software update caps the charge voltage on older batteries. I assume what's happening is they cap the total pack voltage below 4.2v/cell (full) because reaching 4.2v at the pack level would require overcharging some cells (fire risk), i.e., the damaged cells, aged cells with high internal resistance, are incapable of reaching that 4.2v. There is a lot to know about Lithium cells and no substitute for understanding what is happening at the individual cell level vs the pack. I would charge that car in the driveway.

[@IAmThePrepper]

Any updates since you posted the video?

[@EverydayChris]

Since then my range is still around 318-317

[@IAmThePrepper]

@@EverydayChris I hope it will go up some days soon. Do you remember what was the latest range figure on the battery before the issue came up? Above 318?

[@EverydayChris]

Like 323? So not that far off

[@IAmThePrepper]

@@EverydayChris 5-6!miles lose. I think it is like a brand new.

[@EverydayChris]

Yeah not bad I guess

[@HT-uz1zb]

It is cheaper to charge at home vs tesla Super charge?

[@TheFutureisTheFuture]

yes. Tesla is generally .20-.50 or sometimes more per kwh. Home rates can be .10-.20... so it is much cheaper overall but does take a lot longer 🙂

[@perlaursen1885]

we gotta make a show called supercharger war

[@TessiVybz]

Great Video Man!!

[@EverydayChris]

Woohoo thank you!

[@arishem555]

I wish we can get at home at least 125kwh superchargers. It is probably not that big deal, - but if everyone can get 600amp service to the house, - would be awesome. Maybe not 125, but at least 4x from what we have now with 60 amp circuit breaker will be just great.

[@EverydayChris]

Would be nice!

[@Thelastairbendy]

best you can do for at home charging is 25kw @ 165A $11k for that charger alone

[@timers]

Also how do you easily calculate max range or what the battery can support when you only charge to 80 or 90% Believe it used to show in the app, but not anymore, right?

[@EverydayChris]

Yeah so weird when you charge to 100 it used to show you but it’s on the tesla screen still

[@louisctam]

@13:50 that’s y Irvine needs more supercharger… cuz people like you don’t leave even you know it takes forever to charge from 80% and up…. And you had 95%…..

[@EverydayChris]

This is true. The rare case I charged to 100 but had to test it for the road trips!

[@louisctam]

@@EverydayChris same test can be done at night and not at the prime time …….

Bro you were supposed to be my number one guy

[@Itsjustanopinionchill]

I'm not sure I understand why people care so much about the estimated miles on the screen. If the charge % is off that seems like more of an issue to me but can be easily validated using scan my tesla or similar. I also think the estimated Range is calculated by your driving habits and environmental factors. But I'm not a battery scientist. I'll stick to % personally.

[@EverydayChris]

I agree percentage is the way to go

[@rickybungalow8839]

[@alexsmith6271]

Charging to 80 is very simiar degradation as 90 and sometimes 100. You guys spreading nonsense without looking at studies for the past many, many years
