Just sharing some real world usage info in case anyone wonders what they can expect down the road.
If usable range is any indication of general HVB health, then it doesn't appear that charging to 100% (displayed) has much of an effect. Of course there isn't anything wrong with choosing a lower percent for daily limits but if your driving is such that you would like to start each day at 100% then go for it. That is what I do most days and the car appears to be handling it just fine.
I have DCFCd a few times on road trips. Looks like about 200 kWh in total. The majority of my charging is L2. 32A at home and 16A-32A at work depending on if we are circuit sharing at the time. I am able to charge up to 48A at home but I haven't had the need yet.
Happy Friday!
P.S. My GOM is notoriously accurate. I know that some of you have range estimates that are not even close to reality but mine does really good. My driving habits are fairly consistent so that is likely the reason why my range estimates are so accurate most days.
