Hello, is it possible to know the number of charging cycles of the car?

In TeslaFi, go to the charging section and divide the total kWh added by the battery size. Take the example of my car (2021 LR M3):

Total added = 5850 kWh (since I started using TeslaFi).

Battery capacity at start = 74.5 kWh.

Number of Effective Full Cycles (EFC) = 5850/74.5 = 78.5.

The is only an estimate since as I am sure that you are aware, the actual capacity of your car's battery decreases over time and that will impact the calculation somewhat.

To set another perspective, In my case I'm not sure that this counter value is completely accurate. I use Scan My Tesla (SMT) which is an app and OBD2 dongle able to extract data from the Vehicles CANBUS. According to SMT my n° of EFC is 99.8. This value is rather different to the calculation above. It would be necessary to look at this in greater detail to try to consolidate the two values to see why they are different.

thank you for this answer... I also had SMT on the old car and I haven't installed it on the highland yet... I don't really know where to put it and don't really know which cable to buy for the connection...
