Trip planner for “older” Tesla

[Leewx]

Went to the tesla web site trip planner to plan a trip from Washington to Utah and noticed that my 5 month old MS 75 D is no longer listed as an option. Only the current new higher battery capacity models are available options to plan long distance trips. Other than sitting in my car and using the trip planner does anyone know if Tesla has a trip planner for “older” lower battery capacity models that can be accessed from the comfort of my desk top PC? I know that there are non Tesla ev trip planners out there such as “EV TRIP PLANNER”. Does anyone have experience and/or with any of the 3rd party trip planners.

Thanks

I use A Better Route Planner a lot with my MX 75D and find it to be quite accurate.

Since there seems to really be one route, it should be pretty quick to get in the car and say Navigate to city in Utah. It'll either say you can make the main route or go some other way.

The Tesla website planner is not a planner at all, it is a sales tool to show prospective buyers what they might be able to do. It is not, nor was it ever intended for real trip planning.

That's why your car is no longer in that list to be selected -- it is no longer for sale and doesn't need to be cluttering up the sales tool...

I don't like the interface of A Better Route Planner very well. I prefer EVTripPlanner.com instead, but they are both pretty similar.

I kinda lost confidence in EVTP the other day when I planned a 600 mile trip and it said I only had to charge my MS75D for 35 minutes. Once.

Thanks for the info. I understand that Tesla wants to keep their potential sales web site looking uncluttered but it seems odd that they don't offer a trip planner specific to each of their vehicles other than the one in the car. Maybe the 3rd party planners are just as accurate as one Tesla could provide. I will definitely check out the recommended planners.
Thanks again!

Can you tell us the starting and end points? I'm curious to find out what happened there.

Sorry, I don't remember. Part of the issue is with the miraculous range with which EVTP anoints the MS75D. Optimistic is an understatement. I have to add lots of headwind to make it come out even remotely close.
