The more you use the car and get a feel for its range, the more comfortable you will get running the battery close to empty. I went from planning for a 30-40% cushion everywhere I went to rolling into a Supercharger at 3% with no anxiety at all.

I’m to worried about a mid-trip weather change (rain, headwind) or closure/detour impacting me to cut it that close.I went from planning for a 30-40% cushion everywhere I went to rolling into a Supercharger at 3% with no anxiety at all.
Especially when you are dealing with elevation and temperature issues as well.I’m to worried about a mid-trip weather change (rain, headwind) or closure/detour impacting me to cut it that close.
Good point. Taking a road trip in the dead of winter is different than summertime due to the reduced range.Especially when you are dealing with elevation and temperature issues as well.
It's baaaackk!
The estimated destination SOC is always visible on map display now. It reappeared on one of the newest updates.
I drove over to Twin Falls this past weekend and remembered to test it out to see if the % was back on either of the zoomed in views, but it was still broken. So I checked my software version in my car. It's 2022.8.10.1 So apparently not new enough to have that unbroken yet.Yes, I think it came back with 2022.20.x.
The way I see it, you'll have to make some sacrifices for some luxuries.haven't received my vehicle yet, but panic is setting in like most newbies... just read a thread on facebook of a lady only getting 300km, on a charge, she drove 3.5 hrs at an average of 120km/hr... long-range Y, is this realistic range for a LR Y ? even more panic, since I've ordered the MYP
how bad are EV's in the winter, I was figuring 20-30% range drop, but others even suggest 50%, just can't imagine only getting 150-200km on a charge in the winter...
thanks
Took me exactly one 300 mile trip across the state. Easy, car just routes you to the next super charger, stop and charge for a bit, then go. I usually add maybe 5-10% extra charge than the car thinks it needs, and I'm usually wrong, and the car was right.Had my MYLR for 6 months. Around home I have very little range anxiety but on a trip I find myself constantly watching the battery percentage. I plan my trips and know where my stops will be but it seems that a certain amount of range anxiety always occurs. I guess it is because EV chargers are not as plentiful as gas stations. For those of you who have owned for a few years, how long has it taken for range anxiety to be a non-issue?
There are Youtube videos that show what happens when you drive a Tesla vehicle beyond the 0. In general you can drive (at limited speed) for another 10 or so miles. You don't want to find yourself in this situation. The Tesla vehicle will display a series of warnings to plug in and charge. After the final warning is given the vehicle will shut down with little additional warning.Being a new MY owner (and having range anxiety myself) I have read this thread thoroughly and it's full of useful information (thanks!).
I have searched for information on what actually happens if I DO run out of charge so I thought that this might be a good place to ask since with anxiety it can be helpful to know happens in the worst case. Please redirect me if there's another thread with the information.
My questions are.. 1) Does the car drive beyond 0 miles? and, if so, how far have people gone? 2) Does the car warn you that it's about to stop? 3) Does the power just stop? or slowly fade away (ie. will I be able to safely get to the side of a highway?).
TIA
You would lose all power in the event the Tesla vehicle shuts down, including the electric power steering. Regenerative braking generates power but not enough to matter once your battery state of charge is below 0% and the vehicle is shutting down. You could start off at the top of a mountain, say Mt. Washington and regenerative braking would be able to add to the battery state of charge and also add range to the Tesla vehicle. Regenerative braking will cause the vehicle to slow down, will not coast. To coast you would need to set the drive selector to Neutral (press halfway up when in Drive.) Again, this is an edge case that in no way would make a difference when driving when the battery is depleted.Thanks jcanoe and DanDi58! Just answers I was looking for, I'll take a look on YouTube when I get a chance. I'm not planning on running 'empty' anytime soon but it's nice to know what to expect. If we're going to play the 'worse case scenario' game.. the car is basically 'fly by wire', right? Can I assume that all the normal (previously mechanical) things that I take for granted (coming from an ICE world) would still work? Like steering for example (!). Also, what happens to regen.? As the power fails does the regen. still try to get back energy by slowing the vehicle down quickly or will the vehicle coast slowly to the kerb?
You will need to reconcile this with your idea:truck tow you while full regen is on.
But what's the difference between doing that and diving down a hill (assuming the car is on so the system can manage the voltage?)
