One full weekly charge is fine for your Tesla.

Tesla warns that overcharging the battery can damage the lithium-ion cells, so it's best to avoid doing so as much as possible.

You shouldn't charge it to 100% more than once a week, but you can do so safely if you limit the other cycles to a lower percentage.

Also, a number of Tesla drivers have said they've had success with weekly full charges.

Nonetheless, this must be countered by periodic charging at lower percentages.

Most experts agree that the optimal range for a Tesla's charge is between 20 and 90 percent.
