Very low range estimate

Recommended Posts

The range depends not only on the speed, but also on other factors: temperature (cold air is denser and causes a higher driving resistance than warm air, a cold battery has less capacity than a warm one), weather (different driving resistance between dry and rain/snow) and elevation profile.

The WLTP range is normalized for nice weather at ideal temperatures and not a value for the achievable range with constant motorway driving.

Have you considered these range influences? You can adjust weather and road conditions in ABRP and see how they affect route planning.

Wind set at 0 m/s and temp at 20 c. Dry roads and no major elevation changes

Hi @Numsebacon,

Are you getting these estimates with a live data connection and a calibrated consumption value or are you using our default consumption value for the vehicle model?

Our default consumption values are rather pessimistic just to keep users who aren't using / cannot use a live data connection and thereby have a calibrated consumption value, on the safe side of our estimates. But it is of course possible to adjust the value to better suit you and your car - or link the car and get a calibrated value.

1. Go into: Settings (Advanced) > Car model
2. Click the option ‘Add my car’
3. Specify the vehicle model
4. Select a linking option ‘Link MyTesla’ in the list
5. Follow the setup instructions
