Tesla's advantages are being eroded and/or eliminated on pretty much every front. And their build quality is definitely a vulnerability.
That's your choice. You can choose how far you want to set your charge limit. On LFP batteries, they do recommend charging to 100% once per week as there much less impact on this battery chemistry.
