What's the lowest charge level you've had?

Back when I had my Model S I ran it down intentionally one time to 1% (about 3 miles). I did this by driving slowly around the block in my neighborhood so that I could return to my garage when I got down that low.
The lowest I've been in the Model 3 is 4% (about 15 miles), did that accidentally when coming back home from a road trip. I was on performance summer tires and ran into a heavy downpour. Efficiency on those tires goes way south in heavy rain, it was up above 400 Wh/mi.

0%, in one of the colder nights in Minnesota, -28 degrees. Limped into a public charger and spent the next 2 hours cycling between using the heat and pulling a charge (couldn't do both at the same time)

6% and i was freaking out because i still had like 5 miles left to the supercharger from Needles to Barstow with crazy headwind.
at first it said 'keep car under 70mph to reach supercharger'

y’all who use distance instead of percentage are weird.
That said, I pulled into the garage with 1% once on the way back from Tahoe. Not eager to repeat that experiment.

Probably 3 or 4%. We were driving home and pulled into the last SC for quite a few miles, which unfortunately was down. Since we didn't have enough charge to make it home, we had to decide whether to sit and wait for it to hopefully come back online, or drive the other direction for about 30 minutes to charge up for the drive home, which is what we decided to do. We were running with no A/C, turning off lights, anything we could think of to save a little power. I hope that never happens again.
once hit zero 5 miles from the supercharger (middle of night, 18 degrees.. it was the cold that killed my range calculations).. .power was crippled, but it kept going. I turned off the AC and everything, so it was eerie and quiet, driving at 35 mph in the dark.. made it to the supercharger
Battery conditioning and vampire drains are not accounted in the used kwh display...you can easily use 3kwh warming up battery and a few kwh per day on vampire
Also please note that that blue area on you range left is the miles you lost (overnight) due to the battery being cold.. I bet you your range was probably 16 miles the night before.
I have gone to zero multiple times and still been able to drive 10 miles
