Hi All,
I had a small issue at the weekend, admittedly this was somewhat down to some poor planning with my charging and an issue with my overnight charge.
I was running low on charge on Saturday to the point I had to use a non-tesla charger. I put the destination in my satnav of the charger and it showed I would arrive with 3% battery remaining so I set off confident in the knowledge I would get there with battery to spare, I drove carefully to conserve range. I typically average around 220-230 Wh/mi but as I had put a charger as the destination, the car started to precondition the battery and my economy went up to 332 Wh/mi, my estimated % on arrival slowly went down until it hit 1% with 3 miles to go, at which point I cancelled the satnav as I knew where I was going, I arrived at the charger with 0% battery, high blood pressure and complete panic at the thought of the embarrassment when I told my family/friends.
Has anyone else found that this can happen, I am surprised there isnt something in the software to prevent preconditioning once you are below a certain percentage.
