Arrive with minimum % battery - Navigation

What happens if you are navigating to a destination which, like OP, estimates 7% arrival but nearest supercharger is 30 miles away.

How did that work?

Also, is it still using ‘as the bird flies’ distances when calculating distances to superchargers? Long time since I checked. My nearest supercharger use to be only accessible wrong side of a motorway, so I had to go well past it to then come back. Something like supercharger distance reported as being 6 miles away, but was a 15 mile drive to get there.
I think Tesla navigation assumes you can granny charge at your chosen destination or that there'll be a L2 close-by. The 7-10% is just extra buffer.

Then you get to your destination with 7% left. At this time, the Tesla app doesn't let you specify a minimum charge level at destination arrival. Once you get to your destination, the car 'assumes' you have some charging available to you.

But you can use ABRP and send the route to Tesla. The ABRP setting can be marked with minimum charge level at destination.

I understand you want that in Tesla navigation but at the moment this is the short cut people use.

Will give it a go on my next trip 👍
Did another trip at the weekend and still can't get abrp to send it full plan to the tesla. Tried sending it to android maps, android auto, back to maps, over to tesla from any of those and nope. Just shows to the next stop. Or in 1 case when I set off it just wanted route me back to my house, skipping the other 250 miles I had to do to Tebay, Bolton, Tebay then home.

Absolutely rubbish you can't send the full route, way points and all, from abrp to tesla.

So I've a route planned in abrp which starts at home, goes to Tebay, Blackburn, back to Tebay, Carlisle, Newcastle, Washington chargers and back home.

Share this to maps from the sheet plan and all it does is open Google maps with Tebay selected, that's it.
Tried sharing to komoot and it says start not available, so select home, and it had the route from home to Tebay. That's it.

Think I'll just manually do it in the car.

Don’t do that - share plan in ABRP - it will have share to map, open in apple map, open in google map, export to excel, add to calendar. By some reason share to map - opens up only the first stop. But if you open in google app it brings the entire ABRP map to google and from there you can share with Tesla.

Btw, I am not sure whether you have these two options in android!

I'm sure I noticed that and then managed to find the share from within that app and it did the same thing, first way point only.

I'll try again.
 
first way point only.
See below using - google maps instead of the share to map in photo 2 and using share to map in photo 3.

I get that once I exit navigation in Google maps. I'll share to my car next time but pretty sure I tried this and it still didn't work. But I'll try again. Sure as well it didn't have the supercharged right and didn't precondition.

Just been in the car and did open in Google maps and then exited Google navigation. I then shared with the tesla app from the 3 dots and it wanted to route me to the start, which is also the end, and that's it. No further.
I changed the start to be my current location as I was away from my house, which was the start, when I tried this and it still just wanted to route me to my house which is now only the end of the trip.

No idea why it just doesn't work for me on my android phone.

I'll bin this and just do each part manually when I get in the car and make a note of the charge percentages and durations at each point like I did on the last trip.

It has always been the same for me, only the first waypoint.

Just found this, I don't know if this has changed since the date?

Waypoints is a fairly recent thing and would most certainly post date Aug 21 above.

That said, whether sharing a route with correct waypoints to Tesla was now implemented is a very different thing to waypoints being created/edited in car UI.

I stopped sharing waypoints with the car (via share to Tesla app on iOS) having been caught out several times when sharing from Google maps (and possibly others) and finding everything converted into first part of a postcode which is district level. So if you had a road that was quite long, or split, you could find that it navigated you to a location quite some distance from the intended destination. Eg I’ve been navigated to a road the wrong side of a dual carriage way which required heading back to a junction and turning back opposite direction, or trying to find an address that was again many minutes by road to reach. Not sure if this was ever sorted.

Must admit I did leave the last one in directing me to Tebay south and it never recognised it as the chargers so didn't precondition. So cancelled it at Penrith and selected it manually.

Many years ago I was with a colleague and he put the postcode of the address supplied into his car satnav and off we went.
He began to question the area since he knew it well and it didn't seem right. This was confirmed when we duly arrived at the Royal Mail Sorting Office and then it clicked that the address was given but the postcode was for their PO Box at the sorting office.

You only do that sort of thing once. ;)
