Since I've had my car I've noticed, to my detriment, that the projected arrival battery level on navigation is usually wrong because the car doesn't correct for my driving habits at all.
Here are the three cases:
If I drive the speed limit, the projected arrival percent holds steady.
If I drive slower, I'll gain projected arrival battery level over time.
If I drive faster than the speed limit, which is my usual case, projected arrival battery level dwindles over time. Over a full drive leg on a long trip I end up losing 10% - 15% extra from driving 80ish instead of 65.
I guess I find it bizarre that the car doesn't take your driving habits into account when it's making projections.
When I first got the car and didn't know to up add a secret magic amount of extra percent to every charging stop, I was almost running the car out of battery every leg of the trip. Barely limping to the next charge station.
Am I alone? Why doesn't my Tesla try to predict battery arrival values based on my average usual driving pattern, say +15mph?
Thanks for reading.
