In this video I break down what my Tesla battery degradation looks like after a full year, and the exact habits I stick to so I’m not accidentally cooking the pack. I start with what I’m seeing at a high state of charge (that “98% moment”), then I get into the biggest mistake I see owners make: heat. If you care about long-term battery health and real-world range, you have to think about where you park, how long the car sits hot, and how your daily routine stacks up over months—not just one drive. From there I cover the charging limit I actually use day-to-day, when it makes sense to go higher, and how I run a battery health test so I’m not guessing. I also talk about Supercharging—when I use it, what I avoid, and why it shouldn’t be your default if you can charge at home. Finally, I wrap it up with what “normal” degradation looks like, how to store your Tesla if you’re leaving it parked, why software updates matter, and my at-home charging setup that keeps things simple and consistent.
