Work hard = ignore the warnings and count on range left after 0.As stated above, you really have to work hard at actually running out of range.

It's very reassuring, thanks.
Great replies!
At what stage do you get a "charge warning" from your Tesla? Around 50 km (or miles)? Less? There are some roads without any gas stations, so I suspect there will be far fewer superchargers, so would you navigate to the nearest hotel or car park to fill up there? A Tesla rep advised me that the sat-nav points automatically to the nearest supercharger?
Yes, only had a test drive in a P85D - never owned one, so it's a matter of changing mindset really I presume. Still, you'd want to know what to do in case you ever run into such a scenario.
To be honest, I disagree with this statement "you really have to "try" to run out of battery". During my first Los Angeles to Las Vegas trip, I have no idea of the range reduction. No problem from LA to LV, but during my return trip, I need to drive a detour due to work for 220 miles from LV to Barstow, CA. I had a full charge at 265 rated range. Guess what I ran out of battery at 212 miles, and I was going 65 mph the whole time. I was 8 miles short, and I was trying NOT TO RUN OUT OF JUICE, but I still ran out.
You chose not to slow down, therefore you chose to run out. That's all you needed to do; put on your hazard lights and limp in at 45-50 from 30 miles away.
