Numsebacon Posted February 13, 2022 Share Posted February 13, 2022 Why does ABRP say tesla model 3 will use 259 km from 100% to 36%, ie 259km in 64%, that would rate the max range to be 400km, but its rated to 500km highway driving? Is that a mistake or whats happening? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TomTomZoe Posted February 13, 2022 Share Posted February 13, 2022 (edited) 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. Edited February 13, 2022 by TomTomZoe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TomTomZoe Posted February 13, 2022 Share Posted February 13, 2022 (edited) WLTP range is not the range while driving with constant speed on highways. The highway range is significantly less, this is independent of the car. Edited February 13, 2022 by TomTomZoe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Katya-ABRP Posted February 14, 2022 Share Posted February 14, 2022 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 /Katya 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
