Lfp and 2024 Highland

Nope it’s great. Can charge to 100 all the time. I’ve had mine almost 2 years and it’s great.

Range is worse in the cold, they really need to be preconditioned for fast-charging. You'll get less regen in cold weather too until the battery warms up, which takes a lot. You can charge to 100% every day you plan to drive it (and you need to charge to 100% at least every couple of weeks), but try not to let it sit at 100% in hot weather. They also tend to have twice the lifespan as regular batteries, so if you plan on owning it for a long time and you're okay with the range they're a great choice. If it gets super cold, you won't be able to fast charge at all until the battery warms up. V3 and up Tesla Superchargers can heat the battery directly in extreme cases, but try not to need that.

I love mine. 1-2% degradation after 2 years and 20k miles and charge to 100% all the time. It is a bit worse in the cold weather. It definitely helps if you drive a bit before supercharging in the cold. In the summer it charges pretty fast.

Love my LFP highland. Charging to 100% is great and range is plenty for me. 18 months in and 28k miles. No regrets.

Triple cycle life, much greater fire safety.

LFP on top 👌🏻

But if you charge at home with an L2 charger, preconditioning isn’t needed. I love mine. Cold weather rabe is never a problem for me. I do worry in the summer when I leave it parked at airport parking for 2 wks. Will I have enough juice to make it to a supercharger? Even with disabling cabin overheat protection and other features, I don’t check in the car so not to wake it up. Been close to empty upon return, but haven’t been stuck yet.

Same here, it gets pretty close to the rated range and runs Great.

If the parking is safe, turn off sentry mode. I leave mine in Florida at my condo for a couple of months at a time and usually have 30% or more left when I return. When I leave it’s at nearly 80%. I can turn on sentry mode to view the cameras occasionally if I feel curious.

Just curious - don’t have lfp - the few times I charged mine to 100%, regenerative braking is mostly absent until it gets down to 95% or so, and one pedal driving is not really usable. Is that the case with lfp also? Does anyone charge to 90/95% to avoid that?

Thats the case with LFP as well. Think there is an option to allow your brakes to act as regen in the options on the screen.

If it’s cold you can supercharge and you just set it up as you would normally and set the destination and it preconditions. I’ve done this many times over this winter down to -15.

Charge to 100% every time.

Yes there is. I have it turned on.

If you plan to keep your model 3 for a long time then LFP is the best option. And chances for a battery pack that lasts. I waited and waited until a LFP option was available. Wouldn't buy any other chemistry because I keep my cars for a long, long time.

I bought M3 standard Highland _because_ of the CATL LFP battery. I live in cold country (Finland) and charge mostly/almost always at home with 11kW charger. When it is -20C or so, it heats the battery with 3kW for 30mins, then starts ramping up actual charging power. Since the battery is reasonably sized, 11kW charging is able to charge the battery during the cheapest hours at night (00-06) no matter what the start SOC is. I usually charge to 80/90/95%, depending on what the electricity price prediction is, and sometimes to 100%. Car is 10/2024, 38kkm and still shows 437km@100%SOC (EPA) and when it was new, it showed 438km@100%SOC. Summer 2025 we did 5000km roadtrip at 20-33C weather (averaging about 12kWh/100km, 4ppl, fully loaded car) and mainly used Tesla SCs, at worst twice a day, no issues. Haven't used DC charging much at all during extreme cold weather, haven't needed. With LFP I like having no rare earth metals in my battery, extremely good fire safety, at least 3x cycles compared to NMC chemistry and can charge to 100% without harming the battery that much. DC charging speed max is about 175kW with low (14%) SOC, but ramps down quite fast. But since the battery is not big, and car is very efficient, charging to 80% does not take long.

I wish my long range was LFP

Kinda. It does reduce somewhat, but it doesn't go completely to zero until you're literally at 100%. You even still have a bit of margin once the display shows 100%, although if you keep regen-ing at 100% it will cut you off completely after a minute or so. But LFP cars also have reduced regen on cold days, so it doesn't change things all that much this time of year lol. LFPs should be 100%-calibrated regularly (a few times a month) or else the charge display will become unreliable.

I wish I had those wheels.

They do look slick

Sorry quick question Do you get 300+ miles on this then ? I got one recently just curious about the range

No way. I have a 2024 standard range RWD, it was the LFP battery. It was only rated for 270 miles, and yes it gets between 250-270 miles of range.
