Did you recalculate by hitting 'route direct' after changing wheel size? It does not automatically recalculate energy on parameter changes at this point. Also: 1.1 is big speed factor - see 'details' tab to see what actual MPH that corresponds to relative to current traffic conditions. We are...

EVTripPlanner.com consolidates multiple databases of conventional and superchargers and shows them along your planned route (see EV Trip Planner) with detailed information on each when you click on them (or add them as waypoints by clicking 'charger here' in detail popup). We will soon be...

This site - Features | TeslaTap - maintains a list of requested features that allows you to vote and comment on each. I think Tesla Motors keeps an eye on it. Probably better to collect requests there than here. Happy Tripping, Cliff EV Trip Planner (more tools for your road tripping!)

This thread kind of split in 2 - tracking and planning. I think VisibleTesla is a great control/tracking utility. For estimating energy for a given route, try EV Trip Planner (the Planner is the main app) - it provides estimates of energy used (kWh and Rted Miles) for your specific routes, car...

EV Trip Planner has a fairly comprehensive database of both conventional and super-chargers that you can view on a map and get details on. If you go to the (new beta version) of the planner at EV Trip Planner and set up your trip (like in Google Maps) it will auto-route you through...

I am on my second set of Hankooks and find them to be as good as OEM at half the price. Just make sure you get proper mount/balance/align and rotate regularly. I got about 14k miles out of last set for under $1000 (and probably had 15% left on fronts). Best, Cliff (EV Trip Planner - check it...

Our web host, HostGator, suddenly cut us off due to high growth in usage of the site (despite their claim of "unlimited resources"!). We had to move our server and it is now up again. We are using a self-signed certificate for a few days while we get our permanent certificate. You will need to...

True, login is not working. I am working on getting new SSL certificate and installing and then it should work again.

we are back up!!!

Hello EVTripPlanner Users, Very sorry, but our site is down and probably won't be up for another day or so. HostGator, our web hosting service, shut us down due to "using too many resources" (in their "unlimited" plan) without any notice and then broke the site when migrating to our new...

See the link provided below for a table of competitive cars - https://evtripplanner.com/SalesVolume-TMSvsCOMP-141201.pdf

I have compiled the North American and Worldwide sales numbers for the Tesla Model S and competing cars. Here is a link to the data: https://evtripplanner.com/SalesVolume-TMSvsCOMP-141201.pdf EVTripPlanner is used by over 20,000 Tesla drivers to do energy planning for road trips and is the...

Thanks Ben is usually great about sending thanks - tough to tell which Paypal donation was yours, but Ben's been pegged filling out college apps. He really does appreciate each donation. Are you MHS?

It might be a small sub-segment, but the Model S (D) seem perfect for having hand-based accelerator and brake controls (vs. clunky mechanical retrofits). I've recently lost my ability to drive my P85 with my legs and really want to get back behind the wheel (of a D?). I have not gotten any...

P85-21" (Dec 2012 delivery, over 33k miles so far!) 345 Wh/mi here is Southern California I've noticed that the average energy consumption varies a lot - probably based on environmental conditions and driving style. For those of you using EVTripPlanner (EV Trip Planner) to do energy estimates...

Thanks for the EVTripPlanner Kudos. We're working on the next version, which should optimize automatic routing and add some cool features on the map (like drag-and-drop route changes) and details (like hiding short segments and marking all waypoints and calculating charge times). We have...

EVTripPlanner now maintains a very current database of chargers in Europe and also added Metric support - give it a try for energy estimation, route planning, mapping, etc.

Hello Europe! EVTripPlanner has added chargers (and superchargers) in Europe and Metric support. Check out route energy planning, routing through superchargers and other features for planning EV road trips.

All, the new version of EVTripPlanner coming out in a few days has support for European Superchargers (should be current with Tesla site) and conventional chargers (that are in the Open Charge Map database) as well as metric units. You can check it out and help beta test at EV Trip Planner Send...

AmpedRealtor - thanks for heads up, but when I looked at thread at Sign into My Tesla | Tesla Motors I didn't see date mistake. Where are you referring to?

Add me to the list. Twice. P85 (#P02364) with 29,xxx miles. Took delivery Dec 2012. July 11 2014: Heading from SoCal to Las Vegas. Accelerating from stop light in Vegas, loud CLUNK...then whirring sound but no torque to wheels. Las Vegas service center arrived in about 50 minutes with loaner...

Hi Al, they are intended to show Rated Miles consumed at various points along the route, but there is a bug and they are not correct. We'll update in future version. Sorry for any inconvenience. Regards, Cliff.

We plan to add that to an upcoming version...but not yet. Note that charge time not only depends on how many rated miles you want to add, but on the initial state of charge when you start. Charging slows as the battery fills. If you scroll down to "How it Works" on Supercharger | Tesla Motors...

EVTripPlanner now shows all superchargers (max 2 week lag after turn-on) and will auto-route through them. Here is LA-NY route: EV Trip Planner

The best way to estimate energy use on the route is to use EV Trip Planner - it accounts for hills, temperature, payload, speed and other variables. Others report is quite accurate if you estimate your speed well. Of course, winds are the biggest variable that could increase/decrease energy...

All, We've added the ability to automatically break up a route to go through superchargers on EVTripPlanner You can enter your endpoints and click 'Route Through Superchargers' and it will attempt to get you from point A to B going through currently open superchargers. You can adjust the "max...

@Monsoon - you are a mensch! My son truly appreciates the value you assign to his work. He was 15 when he started working on this (and is 16 now). Stanford? Caltech? Mudd? We'll see where he ends up...but this has been a great project. I'm "Product Manager" and he does all the...

We've integrated chargers in EVTripPlanner in version 2.1 (http://EVTripPlanner/planner). Our new release due out this week will auto-route through superchargers also. it will plan your route, estimate energy usage and then show you superchargers and conventional chargers along the route. You...

@bluetinc - thanks for kudos and info. Since we're trying to report rated miles consumed, this sure would complicate things. If we report rated miles remaining (which would be more straightforward based on our base kWh consumption calculation), we'd need users to report starting Rated Miles...

This is a request for data from the EVTripPlanner team to TMC members. EVTripPlanner.com has become a very popular site/tool for Model S owners who need to estimate energy usage and plan road trips. We've recently started reporting energy used per segment/trip in Rated Miles (RM) in addition...

The new version of EVTripPlanner is live at EV Trip Planner This version: * shows conventional and superchargers along the route * has improved interface * maintains a history of your routes so you can repeat a route easily (if you register) * saves your settings (if you register) * makes it...

@cjc9er and all...Cliff here from EVTripPlanner. We're days away from releasing the new version 2.1 of EVTripPlanner. It includes: * chargers-along-path from DOE database (includes superchargers) * "charge here" button on chargers adds the charger to the routing * improved formatting * added...

In EVTripPlanner, did you set correct car/wheels, payload, temperature, etc? Once you've done this, your 'margin' isn't too bad, just slowing it down a little (and doing some checks along the way) should get you there. Other variables that could impact are temperature and headwind - that is why...

60 weighs less and it is also possible that electrical efficiency is different. If you look at EPA ratings and take kWh/range you'll see that EPA Wh/mi are less for 60 than 85. Let us know if you're getting bad estimates.

oops - forgot .com in URL! EVTripPlanner

I consider that a very small buffer - my suggestion: slow down a little or charge a little. Tesla has been messing with the way they calculate rated miles, so that's another potential source of error... Also, the version of the planner at EVTripPlanner accounts for air density changes with...

EVTripPlanner has a "sensitivity chart" that shows what happens with head/tail wind or if temperature is different than what you enter. Also note that the default speed used (speed factor = 1) is based on Google's estimate of actual speed on the road at the time the route is planned. You can...

I wouldn't ever plan to use more than 80 kWh - and that's pushing things. The speed with a 1.0 speed factor is just what Google says traffic is moving at when the plan was made. My suggestion: slow it down to where the trip takes maybe 75 kWh (which is what you tried). A rule of thumb: if you...

See what EVTripPlanner says. It is usually quite accurate if you get speed and other inputs right (payload, temperature, etc). We have thousand of Tesla drivers planning thousand of routes each week using this tool.

I did some calculations on meter-to-miles efficiency including charger and vampire losses (energy saver and standard mode). You can see them at EV Calculations

P85, 21" wheels, southern CA 344 Wh/mi when I had 19" wheels 360 Wh/mi now NOTE that Tesla changed the way they report Wh/mi also with 5.x software, so I think measurements before/after update can't be compared. The new estimates are higher as they seem to include more "non-driving" energy usage...

For feedback on EVTripPlanner, send an email to [email protected] It is best to include the route code (on the URL after the route is created). Also include the version of the planner and algorithm you were using (1.1 allows you to choose). Note that on really short routes, the numbers...

Hi Guys - I just noticed this thread. Thanks for the kudos. Me and kids (mostly my now-16-year-old Ben) put this together after I took delivery of my Model S in Dec 2012 and went on a road trip to Vegas (Barstow supercharger). It was obvious that the on-board tools really weren't that useful...

Evtripper.com and EVTripPlanner.com are both our domains and go to the same place...no rip off. Hope you're all still getting useful data from the tool!

Until Tesla integrates Nav and Energy Apps with their huge telemetry database and internal models, I hope you've tried the EVTripPlanner.com Planner. It is quite accurate at predicting usage along a specific route if you put in the payload/speed/car/temp parameters accurately. You should allow...

Basically, the rated range remaining and measured Wh/mi keep changing with software revs and Tesla isn't transparent about what they're doing. Presumably, they're trying to make things more accurate and help us drivers predict how far we can go, but the whole system is broken. What's needed...

For those of you planning trips in cold weather or at high altitude, please try our new (not-yet-published) version of EVTripPlanner as it compensates better for those things. Let us know how accurate it is for your trips. Thanks - and enjoy! Cold weather/altitude-adjusted planner...
