Range and cost calculator

[Todd Burch]

Whatever happened to the range calculator? Months ago Tesla said it'd be online within weeks...then it seemingly fell off the radar.

I haven't seen this posted before, so I apologize if I'm reposting.

Mostly for people with SDGE/PGEC in Southern California, but I think very helpful for anyone.
This calculator lets your download your electric company's 'Green Button' data and see how adding an EV (including the Model S, and including your mileage and style of driving) or adding solar will affect your electricity use and bill. It even shows you how various electricity rate plans from these two utilities will affect your bill.

I think it's been pretty darn helpful.

Not the "official" Tesla range calculator (still waiting for TM to have this available on their website), but I came across this neat range calculator http://www.jurassictest.ch/GR/ via Green Car Reports. Green Race Website Helps Electric-Car Drives Plan Range

You can add the Model S (all three battery sizes) and modify certain vehicle parameters including number of passengers (multiples of 75 kg).

One very cool thing is that the tool takes into account the topography of the route you choose.

Not sure if the vehicle parameters listed for the Model S are accurate (transaxle performance, rolling resistance coefficient, recup, etc.), maybe some of the more knowledgeable on this forum can tell us the precise values.

It would be great route topography was included in the app/on-board calculator made available by TM.

Wow, this tool looks really great! Has anyone with a MS actually tried this to compare to real world results?

I tried using it and comparing to my results, but it didn't do very well because it didn't allow for weather and road conditions. In clear dry 70-degree weather it looks like it would do pretty well.
