abetterrouteplanner.com keeps saying I need to relog in to my tesla account. I've tried my token and just logging in but it fails every time. It was working just last week.

The Tesla unofficial API (which all non-Tesla apps use) is often shaky and returns empty results from time to time. Hard to separate a temporarily broken server from a temporarily broken connection, and for obvious reasons hard to get support from Tesla
Anyhow, let me know if the problem persists and I will try to help you fix it!
Coming back to this thread to say I've used ABRP several times at home to pre-plan my trips and get a general idea of where to stop, when to stop, and how long it will take. I don't use it in the car though.
I did a 5,000+ mile trip in 11 days back in February this year, and didn't have it pre-planned, so the daily segments were something I just did manually. I had a couple of half days or so I spent at relatives' houses in that 11 days, so I was putting in pretty heavy 500-600 mile days for most of it. I would just get up in the morning and start checking distances on Google Maps on my tablet. I would pick a city that was about 3-5 Supercharger steps ahead along my route and see how long that distance was. Maybe adjust +1 or -1 Supercharger stop to get a good distance that I liked. Then, I would usually plot it into EVtripplanner so that it would give a good ballpark for the total time, including the charging stops. Then, I would settle on that as an end point for the day and go book an AirBNB in that city. That was how I did the whole trip day by day.The one thing I have not figured out how to do is to tell it the max number of hours I want to drive in a day before stopping for the night. It seems to think I am going to drive coast to coast 24 hours a day. Maybe I'm just missing something obvious.
Yea Rocky, I do something similar and find it is easier to plan my trips and allow for changes.I did a 5,000+ mile trip in 11 days back in February this year, and didn't have it pre-planned, so the daily segments were something I just did manually.

Nice to know, yet I don't use ABRP that much in the first place. I probably open it for 5 minutes or less on my computer to just see roughly what it plans. It doesn't have the features I want in order to use it in detail for trip planning.ABRP is one site that works fabulously well on the browser in the car. If you establish an account on the ABRP site, you can log in from the car and have access to all routes you planned from home. You should try it.
However, intentionally not planning it was one of the minor purposes to accomplish for this trip. It was something I want to be able to tell people who don't own or understand electric cars and think that it's impossible to travel with them. "I went on a 5,000+ mile trip in an electric car, without even having the cities picked out that I was going to stop in." That's an important firsthand experience I want to be able to share to open people's eyes to how amazing and useful the Supercharger network already is.I do something similar and find it is easier to plan my trips and allow for changes.
