Pushed charge too close on road trip

Good experience. No matter the outcome. At least now you know you can run the battery down that low while towing.

Good time to repost this.

I had a similar trip recently although I was not pulling a trailor. Mine had to do with not paying enough attention to the effects of the cold. I made the last 19 miles to a Tesla SC driving 50mph on a 70mph divided highway. .... on a 30 degree day with the heat, seats, steering wheel turned off! made it with the GOM showing 11 miles range.

I quite often do the same, almost cutting it too short, but, alas, I always make it...

conservation becomes a 'thing' during that last 10%, especially when the GOM(GuessOMeter) is telling you that your range 'might' not make it...


SLOWING is generally, no, ALWAYS, the solution...


but, I also always revel in the fact that, well, there's a regular household outlet, almost anywhere, if you really need one...

Just use the public charger. It is not as scary as it seems.
