Mitsubishi iMiEV does recommend taking it down to two bars once a month and then charging all the way up but I have seen nothing of the sort suggested in any of my Tesla documentation.
The iMIEV bases your range indicator on a stored capacity value. It is a really poor design. If it gets off at all the dealer has to reset it with their MUT tool.
