I have had my M3 LR Highland for 2 months now. And I must say that the Tesla Trip Planner in particular surprises me very positively in my Tesla. I have been on 4 Long Trips and every time I hit SOC within 2% accuracy. According to the estimated.
@TeslaTipsTrips After preconditioning started your arrival percentage dropped from 18% to 5% before your first stop. Your 3rd leg was close because you weren't navigating to a Supercharger and preconditioning didn't start.
Interesting observation, thanks for paying attention more than us! A lot is going on to make these road trip videos, and sometimes you miss some things ;)
Is preconditioning done automatically? And it looks like preconditioning drains the battery so can you or do you want to not precondition to save battery
@@kcaegis45 Yes, preconditioning is done automatically by the Tesla computer based on the batteries current temperature and it will appear at the top of the navigation window only when you choose to navigate to a Supercharger. If your battery is too cold or too hot it will heat or cool it when needed. Typically I have never seen a 13% drop in arrival percentage so I suspect they were driving faster or doing some hard accelerating that didn't appear In their video. One thing to know is if you leave your interior climate control on "Auto" your high voltage battery will stay closest to optimal temperatures since it's using the same heating and cooling system to heat and cool the cabin.
Im having a issue where when I'm on my commute to work it tells me to take a exit then a ramp on the right which use to exist but no longer exists. I don't know why the navigation chooses to give me wrong directions. I keep reporting it as a bug. I don't know if there's a 2024 version of maps out yet?
Dear Sir, I use to live right next to Manteca and that city is pronounced Man-TEE-ca. Middle syllable is long like the word 'Tea', not short. I've heard you refer to Manteca several times in a couple of your recent videos and each time it made me cringe -- kind of like hearing fingernails scratching on chalkboard. Yikes! 🤣🤣
Yes, I know. It was corrected in the text below in the video. I'll pronounce it correctly from now on, well maybe not in the next video as that was already recorded ;) Thanks for watching.
Kinda seems like your BMS is out of whack or something. Aside from one trip last early summer, it’s been far more accurate than yours is now. That or they aren’t factoring in elevation changes correctly or accurately anymore.
I'd be interested in knowing what your watt hours per mile was, the cabin temperature you set, and whether the green estimator graph mentioned wind or other factors. BTW I had weird estimates also last summer, but my most recent November trip through the Catskills (NY) was spot on. Go figure!
Same here for last summer, and a few trips in between it was fine, and now seems wonky again. Cabin temp is a minimal factor at our temps, but yeah, I'll need to be better about showing the graph at the end of each leg. Thanks for watching!

Great to hear!

That is all done automatically, so Tesla will need to update that and push it out as a maps update. Thanks for watching!
Curious why on 98% charge your Tesla only gets 202 miles? Shouldn’t it be closer to 300 miles?
2019 Model 3 SR+ not 300mi range.
@@TeslaTipsTrips ok got it.
What was the code you were grabbing from the navi?
To get into the lounge at Kettleman
Was the variability due to elevation change?
Perhaps, but that’s usually built into the estimate.

Ev s are future?
Yup
Unless you don't think humans can solve this simple algorithmic issue.. :-)

Could be. I recently charged to 100%, but it's been a while since I've run it down to 1% 😜 Thanks for watching! (maybe another video for that!)
