I barely made it to my office yesterday. Had the "keep it under 50" and "keep it under 40" warnings blaring and was counting 100s of feet. #oops

After the counter shows 0 miles you have a reserve of up to 25 miles. https://www.edmunds.com/car-news/testing-teslas-range-anxiety.html

It might become less as the battery gets older.

Less in proportion to your current degradation, or is it potentially unrelated?

[–] Venat0r 1 points 1 year ago

Not sure, I guess it depends how they implemented it.

Just like with ICE cars, if you’re trying to judge how much driving you can do after “empty”, you’re doing it wrong.

I just got mine😁 so the lowest I’ve let the battery go so far is 63%, but in my defense, I was nervous about how long it would take to get an electrician to show up and install my charger
