Good to hear about the S. I just got a used model X with free unlimited supercharging. Tesla doesn't recommend supercharging for around town use, which is strange considering it only goes over 1C for 5 minutes or so and only barely over, with active cooling.

The other strangeness for me is the recommendation to stay between 50 and 90 for daily use.

Studies of li-ion have shown 80-20 to be the optimal usage pattern for maximizing usable watts over the life of the battery.

Battery warranty is 8 years unlimited miles, so I don’t put much thought into pack health. Enjoy your spaceship.
