Kathy! What an adventure! Robbie and I were talking about this the other day… the difference between the range listed on the dash and the range listed on the map. I couldn’t understand why they would be different?!?! But then Robbie said something that helped it click into place for me… the range on the dash is fixed; it’s NOT dynamic. It assumes some sort of average driving conditions. Whereas the range on the map IS dynamic, constantly adjusting to driving speed, temperature, wind/drag, etc. For example, Robbie routinely drafts behind a semi if he knows he’s going to be tight on range 🙂

Have you ventured back out to the Marshall charging station yet? I highly recommend a “practice run” at the charger sometime when you don’t need it and have plenty of time to figure out the details of connecting. It’s pretty intuitive though… hopefully it will be a piece of cake for you to get the hang of it!

To and from Paw Paw should have been just under the max capacity. So we got it all charged up to 100% last night. When I got to the doctor’s office it was down to 55% so I felt pretty confident that I could make it home without needing a charging station. I knew there was one in Marshall but didn’t know exactly where and hadn’t learned how to look them up on the Tesla info screen yet. As the gauge went lower and lower I started to get worried. But I calculated what percentage it should go down each 1/2 hour of the trip if the rate of discharge remained the same as it was during the outbound part of my travel. That proved to be true so I figured I would still have 10% when I pulled into our garage. Turned out it was 9% and I was getting a message to charge immediately or I might not be able to start it next time. I guess that might have been cutting it a bit close! At any rate, it’s out there charging now and my app tells me its up to 92%. It will be ready for tomorrow’s adventure!
