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
What's the closest you've come to running out of power?

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@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 2y
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

In the 3 years of owning the car, I've only been down to single digit percentages.

Was going up a really big mountain and my destination was on other side and I was in the 20km range, dropping super fast, and well below the actual distance of 40ish km.
I knew downhill regen would make it up if I peaked the crest, and there was also a l2 charger at the top, but I was still nervous as fuck as I didn't know where the peak was.
Turns out I was right by the crest and it was okay. I did spend a few extra minutes at the charger there just in case. Of course the initial estimate was accurate and we got there with what it said plus the small charge I did at peak.

I ran for about 2 miles after the screen said 0 miles. It was a very scary day but I was traveling and had to make it to the charger.

Actually, 0. I drove into the charging stall, and it displayed 0.

On a road trip, I was down to 5% before I made it to a supercharger. It worked out just fine.

Nobody ever runs out of gas

Not so frequently

What’s the frequency of running out of gas vs juice in an EV? Personally neither has ever been close to an issue.
AA5B@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 2y
The last time I knew someone who ran out of gas was a broke college student who could only afford to add $5-$10 at a time

Let's not deny reality. Electric cars have much less autonomy than combustion engines
Sheik@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 2y
So people plan accordingly and don’t run out of juice that often.
