I'm amazed that abetterrouteplanner.com (ABRP) is funded just through voluntary donations as it's very sophisticated and very useful. I think it's a little conservative as I have managed to better the predictions; today we did 200 miles including one Supercharger stop and the predicted charging stop was half an hour and a final SoC back home of 21%. We ended up doing additional miles (both purposely and we made wrong turns ) and the Supercharger stop only required a 20 minute stop and we arrived home this evening with 25% in the battery. Of course I'd rather it was slightly conservative so that's perfect.
The in-car nav is also pessimistic on destination SoC compared to real figures at arrival. More concerning is that the Tesla nav is decidedly iffy at times; counting the wrong number of roundabout exits, showing the wrong number of lanes and wanting us to turn in to one way streets the wrong way. This is a bit concerning when the ambition is to enable autonomous cars - with the state of the nav they will be autonomously getting lost a lot of the time!
ABRP is clearly excellent. Is this the only one to consider or there others worthy of investigation as well?
