Tesla May Be Adding Parameters To Improve Its EV Range Estimates via insideevs.com
According to information gleaned by a hacker who's well-known in the Tesla community, the automaker appears to be working on adding new factors to its cars range estimates. This is something that has been mentioned in the past, though there are new details hiding in Tesla's latest software update.fan, owner, and hacker"green" regularly provides threads sharing what he's discovered as Tesla makes unspecified changes and/or provides its regular over-the-air software updates.
While highly accurate range estimates that would take so many factors into account would prove quite helpful for EV owners on longer road trips, it probably won't make too much of a difference for people using their Tesla for typical daily driving. If your EV has 290 miles of range or 310, and you never use it all over the course of your daily commute and other driving, the very specific figure may not matter much.
People who buy a Tesla EV with a specific amount of range likely do so for a reason. Even if a car has impressive range, this doesn't mean its owner won't ever experience range anxiety. This is especially true if they're traveling in an area where DC Fast Charging stations are few and far between.
