I barely made it to my office yesterday. Had the “keep it under 50” and “keep it under 40” warnings blaring and was counting 100s of feet. #oops
After the counter shows 0 miles you have a reserve of up to 25 miles. https://www.edmunds.com/car-news/testing-teslas-range-anxiety.html
Just like with ICE cars, if you’re trying to judge how much driving you can do after “empty”, you’re doing it wrong.
I just got mine😁 so the lowest I’ve let the battery go so far is 63%, but in my defense, I was nervous about how long it would take to get an electrician to show up and install my charger
Was going up a really big mountain and my destination was on other side and I was in the 20km range, dropping super fast, and well below the actual distance of 40ish km.
I knew downhill regen would make it up if I peaked the crest, and there was also a l2 charger at the top, but I was still nervous as fuck as I didn’t know where the peak was.
Turns out I was right by the crest and it was okay. I did spend a few extra minutes at the charger there just in case. Of course the initial estimate was accurate and we got there with what it said plus the small charge I did at peak.
On a road trip, I was down to 5% before I made it to a supercharger. It worked out just fine.
I ran for about 2 miles after the screen said 0 miles. It was a very scary day but I was traveling and had to make it to the charger.
Actually, 0. I drove into the charging stall, and it displayed 0.
