Any other settings in the charging app in car I should be using?

80% setting is mostly what you need. Only other setting would be how fast to charge to 80%, which you can set via the amount of amps in the app or in the car. But since you are putting in a 50amp circuit it will be fine for the included charger (it pulls 40amps so you need a 50amp circuit).
If you really want to get into saving money (if you have variable time based electric rates) you can set a schedule to charge in the app.
