In going from point A to point B, X miles apart it appears necessary to have a range of X +n miles to proceed. What is this n buffer of range?

Is there any way to make the Model S display you range based on the speed/energy consumption over the last 5min or so as in ICE cars?
Yes. The Energy graph will allow you to project based on 5, 15 or 30 mile history.
Day to day driving ...never worry about range. Trips, I add 50mi to the next supercharger distance.
The Energy:Trip screen has taken most of the guess work out of it. I used to charge to a 25% buffer, but now feel comfortable with a 15-18% buffer. The Energy:Trip graph makes it easy to see what your buffer will be to the end of the next leg.In going from point A to point B, X miles apart it appears necessary to have a range of X +n miles to proceed.

We've already been stuck behind an accident on the Florida Turnpike and sat there for 90 minutes, sucking down A/C and running down the battery (slowly, but for 90 minutes). Y'all leave little to no reserve if you're comfortable with that... I'm no longer comfortable with that.

You left us hanging there! What happened? Did you make it? How much did you have left when you got home or to the next SC?
True, but if you go by that logic, you would always have to charge to 100%. Getting stuck behind an accident, then road blocked, so you have to take a detour, all while a storm blows against you and ... Well you get the point. There is always an unforeseeable case where any buffer would not be enough.
