If your vehicle is equipped with an LFP
Battery, Tesla recommends that you keep
your charge limit set to 100%, even for daily
use, and that you also fully charge to 100% at
least once per week. If Model 3 has been
parked for longer than a week, Tesla
recommends driving as you normally would
and charge to 100% at your earliest
convenience.
In addition, a best practice is to allow Model 3
to "sleep" regularly by parking it with Sentry
Mode disabled, when possible. Consider using
the Exclude Home, Exclude Work, and
Exclude Favorites settings to prevent Sentry
Mode from automatically activating at
locations it is not needed (see Using Sentry
Mode on page 173).
Following the above guidance maximizes
available range and improves the vehicle's
ability to accurately determine the state of
charge and estimated range.
NOTE: Although Tesla recommends charging
to 100% at least once per week, remember
that regenerative braking is reduced while
driving with a fully charged battery. See
Regenerative Braking on page 70.
Battery Warnings and Cautions
WARNING: The Battery has no parts
that an owner or a non-Tesla
authorized service technician can
service. Under no circumstances
should you open or tamper with the
Battery. Always contact Tesla to
arrange for Battery servicing.
CAUTION: If the Battery’s charge level
falls to 0%, you must plug it in. If you
leave it unplugged for an extended
period, it may not be possible to
charge or use Model 3 without jump
starting or replacing the low voltage
battery. Leaving Model 3 unplugged
for an extended period can also result
in permanent Battery damage. If you
are unable to charge Model 3 after
attempting to jump start the low
voltage battery, contact Tesla
immediately.
CAUTION: The Battery requires no
owner maintenance. Do not remove
the coolant filler cap and do not add
fluid. If the touchscreen warns you
that the fluid level is low, contact Tesla
immediately.
CAUTION: Do not use the Battery as a
stationary power source. Doing so
voids the warranty.
