@jwildeboer This is going to hinder me from driving my Tesla until it’s dead. Clearly I need another plan to be rid of this vehicle.

TL;DR Most EV batteries will last longer than the cars they’re in.@npt_writes @jwildeboer The very standard advice coming from Tesla for the battery in my Tesla is to charge only to 80% unless an occasion needs a fuller charge. (That advice may be different for more modern battery chemistry.) For people whose daily driving depletes only small fraction of the charge, I think yes it’s better to avoid charging daily; my commute is long though so I’m charging back to 80% before every workday.
