Link ABRP to Tesla map

[haroldo]

There are thousands of posts about a better route planner (ABRP), but I haven’t been able to find how to link the directions from a ABRP to the Tesla map. Is that possible? If so how, thanks!

once you have planned your route on your phone click share at the bottom of your screen then go to share ABRP link and follow from there

Thanks!
I can share it to my calendar but get an error message attempting to share to Tesla app

 

[Sunderland boy]

I’m guessing now by the way but ,

Was the car awake at the time you tried to connect

Is your signal strong enough.

sorry if it doesn’t help but it worked for me

 

[haroldo]

Thanks, but walking didn’t help. As long as it’s on calendar that’s okay.

The route had waypoints, so I guess that’s a problem got Tesla map, right?


Edit
Tried it without waypoints and still an error

If I understand correctly, you're trying to have a ABRP route display on the dedicated tesla nav map. You can't do that, it only works with it's own directions. If you want to display it on the screen, you can try doing it in the browser. That works to some degree, although it looses connection enough that I don't bother with it.

Okay, thanks.

Year later, so maybe this wasn't there at the time, but what is the function "send to Tesla" from the share button supposed to do then? All I ever get is "Error".

The only thing you can share with your car, nav wise, from any app, is the address of your final destination....I do this frequently with google maps for example on my phone.

Not the route, not waypoints, not anything but "Route to address X"



Can't speak to that button on ABRP, as without being able to send all the other info I never saw any reason to try sending ABRP stuff to the car.

Tesla NAV doesn’t allow customization. It seemingly plans ‘route to first supercharger as soon as car is expected to be below 20%‘ and advises charging to a higher level, possibly leading to fewer stops, but possibly greater total (travel plus charging) time
ABRP allows customization for route planning, with choice for less total time (presumably more quicker, charging stops)
If one plans a complex long distance route, most likely ABRP routes will differ greatly from Tesla NAV, thus the need for specific route planned to be exported to car

Given the fact a route cannot be sent to the Tesla Nav, a workaround is to manually recreate the ABRP route in the Nav by adding all the waypoints. Obviously more time consuming but still doable.

I mean, you cut off the part of my post that already explained why there's no point in sending from ABRP to the car- to instead make it seem like I didn't understand what ABRP does... which is not remotely the case.

tl;dr

Since you can't send the route and stops, there's no point in sending stuff from that app to the car.


I'm very familiar with how to use ABRP, but it has be used manually because you can not send all that other stuff to the car because the car can not accept via an app any nav info at all other than a single destination.


Now if Tesla ever fixes that to where you can send a whole route with waypoints that'd be another story... but it took them nearly 10 years to add even basic waypoint functionality to the nav system at all so I'm not holding my breath on that.

For people that are using ABRP, is it ok to provide your Tesla app account info so that it can better serve you?

What does abrp do that you can't just do on the tesla nav? I input the same trip on both and get the same charging stops with the same battery % at each stop etc.

Let's you set a ton of specific parameters for your trip-for some trips you'll get the same results, for others you won't.

Tesla nav will generally get you where you're going, ABRP might get you there a bit quicker in some cases.

Tesla Maps will navigate you to the closest charging station (I believe) once you’re below 20%, even if it’s out of the way, or behind you. ABRP allows you to set route with various assumptions, such as “show up with 5% remaining”, allowing you to charge more quickly.
Further, you get suggested maximum charging, for example, it will tell you “charge from 5% to 45%, then move on to the next station”, and do that twice, which might be more efficient than charging with Tesla’s map which doesn’t advise the most efficient strategy, nor a maximum charge.
You can set up a trip based on “least charging times”.
In reality, it’s only needed for longer (multiple charging) trips. For the majority of trips less than 500 miles, it’s probably not needed.
YMMV

It’s like a NASCAR pit crew that tries to get you you to finish the race on fumes

For longer distance trips, ABRP defaults to fastest trip which can give a different set of stops and charge levels (typically something like 10% to 50-60% to stay in the fastest charging range) than the Tesla trip planner which favors fewer stops to charge to higher state of charge (but charging gets slower at higher states of charge). ABRP is customizable in this preference, which can result in different sets of stops and charge levels for different settings.

To use ABRP effectively, print out the route plan and/or keep it in your phone. At the beginning of the trip and at each charging stop, set the navigation in the car for a destination of the next Supercharger in the ABRP route plan (so that the car will precondition for faster charging on arrival).
