Battery Tesla or OPTIMA

I don't see it as overkill. It might have unused capacity, but I'd also rather have a battery that stands up to more than just enough.

I e been happy with them in my last 3 vehicles.

It's a Tesla thing.

Tesla doesn't keep a buffer zone at the top end of the battery. 100% means 100% in a Tesla. Tesla advises to only use 100% when you need the extra range.

My tesla model y recommendation is 90%. I know lfp batteries are recommended to do 100% at least weekly. We do 90% but drive the car about 100 miles every work day so it doesn't even sit at 90% for very long, maybe 3-4 hours.

I had an Optima red top in my 89 4runner and that thing lasted for 12 fucking years. Needless to say I bought another one.

Just did that on my 19 gsw, no battery management extra thing to deal with, just the two connectors and obd11 for coding to fleece (not binary agm). Only issue I have is the battery blanket doesn't fit the bigger size.

The red top really isn't that special and optima's tech in general is more beneficial in regard to durability than current delivery.

Replaced my OEM battery with a yellow top and it lasted less than a year. Complete junk imo.

When I worked at the auto parts store, we warrantied a lot of Optima’s. I’d be careful before dropping money for one.

I personally don't care for optima.
