TLDR: as stated in other threads - 0% is 0 power left. But the power for propulsion actually drops to zero before that from around 2%. It appears to cycle down and up.
Recommendation: don’t push it below 10 miles of range remaining according to GOM.

I knew as my SOC reduced, the max power decreases from 100
I did a local trip last night, basically picking a relative off from airport and dropping them off and heading home, I decided to try to get home with approximately 1 mile range - so I did a very small amount extra driving to be as close as possible.
I pulled up to a stoplight at 2% charge, and when it turned green, I had zero throttle response. Available Power on the dial showed 3 (maybe lower?) but no reaction from the truck. I had cars behind me so hit the throttle a few times. They went around. I snapped a photo at 3% power, yet with 2% charge (and 5 miles).
I was on a flat road and it was nearly all downhill (very slight grade) to go from my location - was about a mile away from my house.
I did begin to freak out a bit having the “I can’t believe I just ran outta battery” feeling - no difference in running out of gas feeling. All the inside electrical was still 100% normal and turned on my hazards.
I power cycled the car, though I don’t know if that did anything.
I watched the power bar cycle back up to 38% and the light cycled back to green again and I was able to continue on. I became extremely cautious now as I had an instance of no power at all.
got home with 1 mile range! I don’t need to do this experiment again.
The ICE cars gurgle and spit when they are at their last drops of gas. Our EVs just stay silent!
