"So this is what happens when you decide to skip a supercharger on a long trip, and you think you can make it, he said. Let's see if I can. He shows his Tesla screen, which indicates he has 5% charge, with 31 miles and 37 minutes left on his trip. So still have 37 [miles] to go, he said."
"Unless you are using a different brand electric vehicle (EV) that requires a third-party charging station, there is no need to be concerned, wrote one user. I frequently travel long distances with my Tesla and utilize the Tesla charging network. The system is highly accurate and adapts to your average driving habits based on factors such as speed and cargo load. 5% on arrival is too high, just drive faster, joked another commenter."
A Tesla driver skipped a supercharger at 12% and later showed the car displaying 5% charge while still roughly 31 miles and 37 minutes from his destination. The driver said he expected to arrive with only 3–4% remaining. Viewers gave mixed advice, with some urging trust in the Tesla charging network and its adaptive estimations, while others suggested driving faster or slowing down to conserve range. Independent 2023 testing indicated many EVs achieve substantially less real-world range than advertised, with examples showing advertised 300+ miles yielding about 200–250 miles in summer and far less in cold weather.
