It does, but in a very beta fashion - and again somewhat limited by the browser performance in the car. But visually, it is fun, showing the turns on Google Streetview.
Odd, this is a route I planned on EVTripPlanner.com in September without issue:
View attachment 205579
No route found.
Start: Houston Marriott Westchase, Briarpark Dr, Houston, TX
End: Hyatt Regency Indian Wells Resort, Indio, CA
I have better luck on ABTR when I punch in a physical address, even tho the google autofill will find "The Sage Inn and Lounge," or say "The Ritz-Carlton Montreal." it will have trouble routing me there, unless I put in the street address. Try that.
I was able to use place names a few weeks back. They stopped working recently.
The 90% speed notation is very helpful. what happens when you give it your tesla login credentials exactly?
How does it work? you Zoom in? and it will show you turn by turn? I played around with it this morning just to try it. it may be the reason i upgrade my May 2015-built 85D to LTE
Then again I was on pretty fast wifi (thank you to the City of NY of installing the cloud) and the pages were kind of sluggish to load anyway, so maybe LTE is not really the answer.

If you would have liked a different plan for this trip, let me know in what way.
Thanks! I can once again use place names. Sounds like the google APIs are in a state of constant flux.You're right! I was confused about this, but Google must have changed their APIs. I tried switching to the Google Places API instead of what I used before to fetch positions of an address and it works like a charm!

I just tried a route from Huntington Beach, CA to North Lake Tahoe, CA. The route goes through Tejon Ranch SC, Fresno SC, then 180 miles with reduced speed to Rocklin SC, skipping the Manteca SC along the way. Is there some reason for this? Route planner shows the Manteca SC, so it apparently knows it is there, but the icon remains grey.
As a new Model S owner, I felt the need of a route planner for my Tesla which helped me plan my long trips using Superchargers. The in-car planner has its issues and many other sites did not fit my specific Tesla needs either.
So, I hacked up A Better Routeplanner (which was a lot of fun). It works both off-car in your computer and phone as well as in the car browser. It will even follow your car as you drive and follow-up the consumption.
Try it out and see if you find it useful.
