    Note it is recommended that you only charge the battery to 80 -90%. for the battery to last as long as possible. and that you charge the battery as soon as it falls below 20%

    • @FrugalNotCheap
      @FrugalNotCheap  2 года назад

      Yes! Elon says 80-90 for most (nickel) Tesla batteries, but full is ok for LFP batteries: "I’d personally slightly opt for iron pack, as it wants to be charged to 100%, whereas nickel prefers ~90%"

    You bought just at the right time. I quite didn’t. In June ‘22, I ended up buying the best priced (at the time) Model S 100D (70k miles) with FSD, Premium, etc. set me back $58k net (plus title, fees, etc.). Purchased in NJ. A comparable 100D would have cost 8k more in MN. It’s quite stunning how different the prices are across the nation. I flew out and drove it back. 22 hours, including charging stops - and a fantastic experience.

    • @FrugalNotCheap
      @FrugalNotCheap  2 года назад +1

      Oh, wow! 8k sounds worth the trip, and it sounds like you are loving your 100D 😀 Hitting the accelerator never gets old hahaha

      What did you total in charging fees on the 22 hour journey?
      I am considering a 75D Model X with FSD in Florida for $58k. Also, did your FSD transfer to you?

    I very much agree with your opinions on the Model 3 vs the Model S! I really wish the Model 3 was a hatchback as well. I like sedans so much more than SUVs/Crossovers, but the only drawback is usually the trunk. With the Model S, that's not an issue!

    • @FrugalNotCheap
      @FrugalNotCheap  2 года назад +1

      Thank You! I bought it in January or February, and it's a 75 RWD. Since that time, the used market has gone way up! Chase myCar estimates my car is worth almost $44k now! I bought it from Nice Cars of Long Island (aka South Shore Auto Brokers, a small dealer who has been doing internet (eBay) sales for a long time. He was great! Buying from Tesla I've heard many horror stories. I wish they would really up their customer service and service game.

    Hey man great video...im getting a 2017 s 75 next week also... it had 43k miles. I drive for a living as a mobile trainer...about 80 to 100 miles a day. Do you think I will be ok with the range this car has?

    • @FrugalNotCheap
      @FrugalNotCheap  2 года назад +1

      Congratulations! I keep the charge between 90% and 20%, so that's 70% of the full 250mi range or 175mi - should be plenty! The main thing will be charging, you'll want to be able to charge overnight (8hrs or so) so 120v like I'm doing won't cut it. Otherwise, I can't see any issues. Hope you love it as much as I love mine!

      @@FrugalNotCheap I'm getting my 2017 S75 next week hopefully, paid deposit. I'm from UK and mine luckily has free unlimited lifetime supercharger. And free premium connectivity for life. Can't wait really 😊
      Question - I'd also be driving approx 80 - 100 miles 6 days a week, with supercharger charging do you think the standard S75 will be sufficient?
      Thanks

    • @FrugalNotCheap
      @FrugalNotCheap  2 года назад +1

      Congratulations!!! 80-100mi isn't much with 200mi+ of range, but hopefully the superchargers are convenient on your route and not too far from home. Supercharging exclusively is harder on the battery, you might keep the State of Charge lower as the higher SOC is where more heat is generated. Hope you love it!!

      @oldrrocr 2 года назад

      thanks for this... didn't hear it if you mentioned it, you really should install the 220V charging outlet to reduce your charging time. For me, at home it charges at a rate roughly equivalent to the driving time. Plug it in at night, it's ready in the morning.
      Also, having solar panels make it a no brainer.
      Superchargers are getting MUCH faster.

      I still absolutely love it! In the video, I mentioned a milling sound from the rear, and they replaced the drive unit under warranty. Other than that, I haven't had anything come up that wasn't due to wear and tear. It's an incredible car, and it has only gotten better due to software. I have both the MCU2 upgrade and FSD and it's awesome.

      There, other electric cars charge. There you can also charge a Tesla. for example outside a hamburger bar

    • @FrugalNotCheap
      @FrugalNotCheap  2 года назад

      Yes! They're usually about 8kw, so it works well if you live close to work or work from home. Otherwise you'd want to get charging installed at work or home or use supercharging. I've got a garage with an outlet at my apartment complex
