I don't even remember what the actual day-to-day recommendation is, but I think it's 85%.

I'm not sure that Tesla has ever made it really clear. As I recall, they used to recommend 80% back when the Model S was new, but that seems to have become more fuzzy over time. I do remember Elon saying or tweeting at one point, maybe a year or two ago, that he recommended daily charging to 90%, and I see that quoted a lot. But maybe he meant that just for the Model 3; I dunno.

There is definitely some reserve, but as was mentioned today, that is also divided between the top and bottom voltages and I'm not aware that anyone outside of Tesla knows what the exact split is.

Yeah. I've seen a pretty detailed technical analysis trying to figure that out, posted to the Tesla Motors Club forum; but there were some IMHO serious questions raised about the methodology used for that, so I won't quote it.

Sorry if I get a bit tongue-tied at times.

Honestly, I hadn't noticed that. I don't think you have anything to apologize for, not in the slightest! At least one of your team is a pretty smooth talker, that was obvious; but I'm a lot more interested in content than delivery, so long as the delivery isn't so time-wasting or annoying that it interferes with understanding the content. Nobody on your team has that problem!

You've got a good team there. I don't know how many "hits" you're getting, but you deserve to get a lot!

. . . In a recent Twitter exchange, Tesla CEO Elon Musk explained that regenerative braking does not kick in at full charge, meaning the car is less energy efficient. ​

My Std Rng Plus Model 3 posts a warning that 'regeneration reduced' when the charge level is too high. Leaving on a cross-country trip, no problem.

Here is the latest episode: number five.
As I mentioned up-thread, we are now doing it live on Friday mornings at 9:30 Eastern. I invite you all to join us at that time if you want to leave real-time comments or questions. We had a few dozen viewers this morning and it was really great to have that audience and see their comments.

Is there a way to post a list of the 3-4 intended topics ahead of time?
 
I'm trying to download the audio podcasts. Do you have an automatic system to share the audio with Apple iTunes?

Thanks,
Bob Wilson
 
It's just a youtube video, should be playable in any browser these days. For
example, the one slightly upthread is simply an embed of this which any
of the "youtube downloader" sites could also pull as a .mp4 or similar file if you wanted
to store it on a device for offline listening later.
