I know, this is wishful thinking. But I thought maybe others would have opinions here.
90% of my driving is long distance. I need to supercharge at least once, possibly twice based on wind/temps/driving speeds. I have found the trip planner to be extremely helpful and reasonably accurate. But I need to pay attention, at least a bit, to know if I can safely bypass a SC or not.
I would love a much more comprehensive energy usage widget!
- breakdown of driving vs secondary systems (HVAC etc) power
- logarithmic instantaneous power from the pre 7.0 days
- trip planner projections
The first two seem totally doable giving the existing energy widget design. Adding in trip planner projections might be tricky, but I'm sure something is doable. I'd even take just the projected arrival SoC. But I'd prefer a graph.
I get the impression that Tesla wants to demphasize the "special" nature of the car as much as possible. To discourage people from obsessing about range and just drive. I think this is a fine goal. But, range still matters on trips. Just a little more deference to that in the heads up UI would make me a much more satisfied owner.
