I learned about this short coming last week when planning a trip from Austin to Houston. The destination is about 180 miles. Since we were going to drive to Houston and return the same day, I expected the built in Navigation system/trip planner to take us through the super charger that is located somewhat in the middle of the route. Instead it proposed taking us via a different route which not only avoided the super charger but also would have left us with 10% charge upon arrival in Houston - not enough to return home or to the nearest super charger!I searched on this and couldn't find anything, so here goes...
Is there a way to make the onboard trip planner plan a round trip?
Yes and no. If you touch the bottom panel of the trip planner box, where it really doesn't look like a button, it will flip over and basically tell you if you can make it back. It's not quite roundtrip planning, but it's what Tesla offers right now.
You're right! I tried it today and it's gone. The trip planner takes a step backwards in 8.0.This doesn't function if the car is charging (v8.0) so it has to be unplugged.
I found it! In 8.0, check Settings > Apps > Navigation. There is a switch that will cause it to display the power remaining after a round trip. It's very awkward because then you get it all the time, as opposed to a peek when you want it. But the information is available.This doesn't function if the car is charging (v8.0) so it has to be unplugged.
1) The built-in Navigation system does not have an option to avoid tolls. Since the car had temporary tags I didn't want to bother with dealing with payments after the trip.
Yes, it is true that there is an option to "Always Show Estimated Round Trip Energy". However, when selected, it doesn't actually always show it. I've not been able to figure out the algorithm for when it's displayed, but sometimes it's there and sometimes not.I found it! In 8.0, check Settings > Apps > Navigation.

Wouldn't it be nice if they updated the Owner's Manual for 8.0?
I have that option checked. Sometimes I have to scroll the turn list to see the round trip estimate, but it is always available.Yes, it is true that there is an option to "Always Show Estimated Round Trip Energy".

There must have been many long meetings weighing all the complex tradeoffs about when it should be visible.
round trip planning is not available on Tesla
what about driving while there and then getting back?
nav system would offer a few routes that would work then you could make a choice between speed, distance or time.
