I’ll look it up but considering I was driving grandma style and we used bare-minimum functionalities like AC to go on a in-state trip, it really doesn’t matter if this is normal function or not. If that’s normal then it can’t be used for anything more than around town, and I wasn’t looking to buy a second car just for the city.If you’re taking it in solely for this “issue” you are 100% wasting your time.
The only data point that matters here hasn’t been provided. What was your wh/mi consumption on this trip?
No trailer, nothing on top, pretty light packing. Normal driving conditions - the only thing could be that it’s 100F here in Texas and we didn’t want to die so our AC was at 74 - not unreasonable. What’s the point of a Nav that recommends charging stops if it can’t remotely project a realistic outcome?
Again - maybe it can be rationalized that this is “how it’s supposed to work” - but then the Nav is trash, the projections are unreliable, and the car isn’t remotely worth its price tag.
Hopefully when they inspect it at the service center next week they don’t dick me around.
So you were using the MY Nav correct? Did it tell you to slow down to a certain speed to make it to your next charger? That would be normal - did you ignore the warnings?I’ll look it up but considering I was driving grandma style and we used bare-minimum functionalities like AC to go on a in-state trip, it really doesn’t matter if this is normal function or not.

Either something is wrong that can be corrected, or I’ll just have to sell it because it’s just not good enough. Too bad because it’s beautiful and fun around town. Good thing the aftermarket is hot.

There is a new firmware coming that takes into consideration more inputs about the weather to more accurately predict range. That may be of some help in your particular case.No trailer, nothing on top, pretty light packing.

You should remember, that the range the car projects is based on normal driving conditions, that is somewhere about 70F and 65mph. Cold affects the range the most. Hot weather is not that bad. I would add some 10% range at 90-100F weather. 75mph will be the main contributor to the lower range. If you want an electric car to be on target for the range, you need to drive it slower. The same applies to ICE cars, but it will be more noticeable for EVs because of EV's higher efficiency. In the city driving in good weather (80-90F) with some 50-70mph highway driving I easily exceed the the projected range. if I go long range, then 200-230 miles is a realistic limit. 150-160 is never a problem unless snow or heavy rains, but I would always try to charge closer to 90%.Just got a Model Y performance a week ago and tried for a quick state park camping trip. Two super chargers on the way. The gap between the first supercharger and second was 155 miles. Charged to 80% at the first and it said I was good to go and would arrive at the next with 30% battery. Had to turn around because 50 miles in it said we wouldn’t make it. Driving 75 on clear easy rural highway.
If that is “how it’s supposed to work” then unfortunately the car won’t work for me and I’ll have to sell it.
The Nav doesn’t account for the posted speed limit, which it knows and uses to calculate time to destination? That seems unlikely.The nav does not account for driving 75 MPH. Its supposed to start accounting for weather and elevation, but it currently doesnt. If you are taking your car to service because of what you experienced, you are wasting both your time, and theirs. You could run your trip through a website like abetterrouteplanner.com which does account for elevation, wind etc.
Its a bit unusual to me that you are saying you couldnt make 155 miles though, so there are likely some extenuating circumstances there.
I'll be interested to see how this plays out, sounding oddly familiar......
Could you please name these two superchargers?it can’t physically make the trip because those are the only two super chargers on the route.
Perhaps there is something that is draining excess battery, which could be something that perhaps service could identify for me.
Supercharger in Cisco, TX to the Supercharger in Junction, TX.
Maybe service will cancel. If so then I guess the car is worthless for road trips. It sucks. Hate to get rid of it.
Abrp estimates that I'd use about 74% of the battery to make that segment with my LR and 19" wheels.Supercharger in Cisco, TX to the Supercharger in Junction, TX.

Response? Find it hard to believe the Nav didn’t instruct you to reduce speed to XX to make it to the next charger in time for you to adjust.So you were using the MY Nav correct?

Yes after we were about 40-45mi in it wanted me to start going 10-15mph below speed limit to make it there with 3% (down from original 30%).Response? Find it hard to believe the Nav didn’t instruct you to reduce speed to XX to make it to the next charger in time for you to adjust.
It was yesterday and did not appear windy but perhaps. Can’t have a car that requires me to avoid winds to take a weekend trip tho.
Only because at every opportunity I have been told that there’s so many factors and this is normal. I’m hoping that it’s not normal and can be fixed. If not, why would I keep it? It can’t meet minimum expectations.Thousands take effortless road trips all over the country which you would know if you searched the forum a bit - easy stuff.
