GPS and Supercharger Stop Recommendations

[JJ42]

Why does GPS route me to charge so soon (ex. when battery will still be 51% full) when there are tons of other superchargers a little further down the highway? And why does the GPS suggest that I drive my tesla down to below 20 percent? Can I change settings somehow so that it keeps me over 20 percent whenever possible? Please see attached photo. thanks.

Why it routes you that way, I am not sure. However, it wants you below 20% because when you are below 20% you get the fastest and most efficient supercharging.

I think the navigation algorithm prioritizes minimum travel time, that is faster charging rate = charge from lower SoC.

It may try to do that; however, if you cross-reference the navigation with ABRP, ABRP always has the minimum travel time in comparison and generally has you arriving with a lower SoC.
