i doubt you do that at all tbh, I know how you operate you are incredibly diligent. Youll forgive my scepticism because there is a penchant to narrate a story based on who the poster is (me) the fact that unkel the EV guy drives around below range is fanciful. You operate on an almost OCD level of how much it costs to operate your EV. I dont see how youd abandon all of that.

Heres the reality , poster makes sensible point about journey planning and taking risks. Poster B takes it as a slight on their car choice and goes to battle. (Liam is that poster) cant have a basic legitmate conversation making a sensible point....

Now you are calling me a liar? Nice.

I can assure you I do not lie, maybe I should throw up a few pics in future to show my zero range while driving or something 🙄

Yes, I do. If it means getting to a charging location like Ionity Merklingen with about a dozen Ionity and a dozen superchargers and 3 or 4 different food outlets then you would be thankful of the 15 kilometers.

Way to misrepresent things, what I said was in response to your claim that you'd be mad to plan a journey down to 15km. As I pointed out, 15km of remaining range can mean very different things depending on the car you drive, as this is a Tesla thread it's relevant to people that 15km of remaining range is well within a comfortably margin for journey planning, something you would know if you actually drove one.

I'm sure your own car may be in the circumstance where 15km of range left is dicey, that doesn't make it true for people who drive other models, not quite sure why once again you are so quick to dismiss the experience of people who actually daily drive the car.

Well no it's not dicey actually. I just wouldn't be stupid enough to plan 1000km journeys with 15km left over on stops. That would be stupid. Also I didn't misrepresent anything you said.

Everything comes back to how great your Tesla is. You make it your very being.

Legitimately saying to someone. Hey maybe don't leave the car with 15km on it if your planning long trips is a good idea (which is what I said) you felt attacked. Weird stuff. Very Very weird stuff

No I'm saying this brand has its owners acting abnormal

Yea, didn't he say at a recent rally that he likes EVs?

He loves them now. Elon taught the Donald to love EVs 😁

Then what's stopping you using the range of your car? Is it that the journey planner isn't able to give you an accurate estimated arrival percentage?

Using Tesla's journey planner down to charging stops with low percentages of remain range is absolutely not stupid as you claim. The enroute charging integration is miles ahead of anybody other EV maker operating in this market. That's why it's completely OK to go into low percentages and remaining km.

It's not some magic copium like you think, it's just a well integrated real time solution. When I drove the Mini and Ioniq I was able to do something similar, but I needed OBD devices hooked up to ABRP to do it. I wouldn't recommend anybody outside of EV enthusiasts goes down that route, for Tesla you don't have to it's all built into the nav.

Tesla aren't the best cars in the world, but there EV navigation stack is currently second to none in Europe. Rivian bought ABRP to do something similar and will hopefully license it so that more manufacturers can offer the same experience without the need for meddling with the car.

15km is a days driving for me some days. Plenty of range in that once you know your car. Especially for experienced EV drivers.

I would only go to zero in a tesla, precisely because of how accurate the trip planner is. I've owned three teslas and probably well over 125k km in them at this stage. Other EVs I wouldnt be confident going that low because it simply doesnt get displayed correctly.

The only other exception would be my leaf24, but that's because of the small battery and the fact leafspy is invaluable.

That being said, my current tesla, the LFP 3, has 40-60km of range past zero so I doubt I'd notice 15km. The passengers would though, the kids and mrs have range anxiety still.

jlang

While I believe there must be some reserve below zero, I have no intention of finding out how much and I'll take the youtube measuring guys word for it. I'm comfortable with rolling in home off a long trip with 2-3% (10km or so) but I'd never let it get that low when around the country. More due to charger anxiety than direct range anxiety. I trust the car to do it, but I hate needing to charge where I want when I want when most sites seem to only have one or two chargers (even if that might cover 4 spaces) and many sites also have one or more inoperable for whatever reason.

Maybe Elon is hoping the next "Beast" will be a Tesla.

Haha, Trump is doomed if so.

Trump in a CT. The whole world is getting flipped upside down. There’s no hope for any of us now.

unkel

That's what I mean. A total turnaround on EVs from our friend the Donald 😂

How those naive German fools did not see this coming is beyond me.

Siri, how do you define sycophancy? Ah, never mind, this picture is full of it. 🤣

sk8board

$45m/month in political donations will comfortably buy a change of opinion about EVs.

Ah FFS, The sooner Musk is removed from Tesla the better. This will have an impact on Tesla sales in Europe. If I hadn't already paid in full I might be thinking of alternatives. What a cnut

Just cancel and get a refund. Genuinely, if you feel that strongly about it, why proceed?

He has been funding trump for months now, posted on here many times and it’s already mentioned in media that it will effect Europe sales so it’s nothing new.

Why get up every morning and get into a car that you don’t like?

If you've paid in full and not taken delivery you can cancel and receive a full refund under distance selling regulations.

Eh, I said I "might" and I don't hate the car obviously, just can't stand the figurehead associated with it. But then he's not the company.

Gumbo

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/122479847#Comment_122479847

Exactly. Tesla isn’t musk and musk is not Tesla. Some will refute this but let them be.

If you like the car buy it, if you don’t, there’s others like BYD, Hyundai etc

I wouldn’t give a toss what others think when driving a car. That’s their problem, not yours.

Like most, full of hot air and nonsensical bluster. We're all guilty at times but being like "oh i might cancel" but in reality it doesnt matter.

Musk is a fool, tesla service is awful, but they are still the best EVs by a mile.

I think the fact that the actions and behavior of the company CEO even causing me to stop and think about my decision at all is kind of mad, no? What other company exists where this might be an issue?

listermint

The difference is he could legitimately run it into the ground if he doesn't get ousted, not good for owners. It's presently a piggy bank for his other endeavours.

He needs to go, stat.

I think it would have an extremely bright future without him.

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/122480426#Comment_122480426

I won’t agree or disagree as I don’t know enough about him, his actions or how it influences “Tesla” cars for me or any other user.

Coincidentally, I sold my last Tesla last week so I’m technically an unbiased poster on the subject…….for the moment 😆
