Seems the 5% was the correct data, and the reported observation of 12% remaining was the problem.Passing a supercharger because it says you will have 12% remaining at your destination is a completely separate choice where the previous "5%" input is irrelevant stale data.
That is why Boeing is changing their software that previously gave pilots only 40 seconds to switch off a system that relied on one sensor to force the plane into a dive, believing (incorrectly) that the plane was about to stall. The system will now reportedly require two sensors (the second sensor used to be an option that those two planes did not have), and after putting the plane into a dive twice it will automatically switch off.
The OP did absolutely nothing wrong. He did not charge enough to reach his destination, passed by a supercharger thinking the car had enough charge to reach his destination, and then decided he needed more charge and stopped to charge. I find absolutely nothing wrong with that.
The instrumentation in my Teslas behaves very differently. I have never observed the big changes in % charge remaining on arrival in such short periods of time, and get constant nags from the nav, which is such a conservative worry wart, if I will arrive with a low SOC.
There are many possible explanations for the scenario posted. The lack of repeatablity, the lack of other similar experiences, and the lack of a "black box" to provide more precise data, all lead me to the conclusion this is not a systemic issue to be worried about at this time. My opinion would change if any of those things change. They did not ground the 737 until there were two incidents deemed to be related.
