Performance models typically have higher kWh consumption?
I think that either way you need to put in your "Consumption at 65 mph / 110 km/h" to reflect how you drive Then the model becomes "battery size"

Performance models typically have higher kWh consumption?
I am deeply impressed by this project, Bo! Thanks so much for sharing all this work with other Tesla owners. I have only one suggestion. A nice addition would be to make the terms that appear in the list of setting link to definitions and explanations, sort of a rudimentary user
guide to the app. Terms like "Battery Capacity Degradation" are somewhat baffling to the newbie, so knowing how you are defining such terms, and what impact the setting have on route planning and good vehicle care would be very helpful. Keep up the great work -- I hope Tesla draws inspiration from the project, and that your good work will somehow carry on beyond the point at which you may lose interest or time to work on it.
I was road tripping the last two weeks. I tried ABRP in the car's browser. It worked once, but the next time I entered a destination it had an auto-complete list pop down containing the previous destination. No matter what I tried, I could not get it to accept what I typed for the new destination - it kept using the one in the list once I pressed return. I think this might be a failure of the browser itself. Might need to add an explicit "accept" button to get around it.
@blincoln , any plans to factor in external temperature? See my post here showing Tesla data: Putting some numbers on the factors that affect range
I will of course try to give good guesses on the consumption given a certain Tesla model as a reasonable starting point.
One problem that I've noticed recently is that if I change the model, the "Consumption at 65 mph field" changes to a number with decimals...but then I can't submit the form unless I remove the decimal value.

Dunno if Google provides the info, but that route proposes charging in both Folkestone (while waiting for Shuttle) and also Calais - but the bit in between is a train-journey under the Channel, so not "driven"
Now in place - thanks for the proposal!
it does not count "ferry" parts of the trip as driving and therefore consumes nothing there
WOW. That was a fast turn-around! I'm a bit baffled here, though -- I just visited A Better Routeplanner (forcing a reload in case I was working with cached information) but don't see a difference yet. Also, to use it on my iPhone, I just access it via a web client? Thanks again for sharing the great work.
It works for me. Just mouse over the text boxes in the settings section and a little box pops up explaining what it is for.
It looks like he put the hover over the form fields, not the labels. It took me three tries before I found them myself.Hmm wonder what I'm doing wrong then, as it is still not working for me. Using firefox 50.1.0 on Mac OSX 10.12.2, with URL A Better Routeplanner, and have flushed the firefox cache first: I see a map, and a translucent gray panel on which a text area toggles between "Show Settings" and "Hide Settings." When the settings are showing on this panel, I can hover over the text label for each individual setting, but no explanatory information appears. Could there be some sort of intermediate host that is caching an older version of the website, and serving me that?

D'oh! Yes. Poster sdorn had also pointed this out, and I had even tried it, but must have been impatient -- it does take an instant for the popup to appear, and I think I did not hover long enough. This is a genuine improvement, blincoln! Still wonder if you should not also allow the definitions to popup when you hover over the text labels for each text entry box. The definitions also suggest some potential tweaks to the labels you are using. Perhaps "Charging Overhead Time" would be preferable to "Time to Open Charge Port", and "Extent of Battery Degradation" might be clearer than "Battery Capacity Degradation". As the application can use a login to My Tesla to get the value for "Start Depart Charge", can it also potentially fetch the value for the field "Consumption at 65mph" (as a newb, I don't yet understand what information My Tesla can provide)? These are just random stray thoughts, enabled by a better understanding arising from the labels. One can imagine huge additional potential for this already powerful application, especially if it started to include other charging options (though the scope of work required to do so would likely exceed blincoln's time and interest!). Lovely work, thanks.
"Time to Open Charge Port" is my kick in Tesla's ass since that is something which annoys a lot of owners daily.
