Tesla Route Planner

When the Tesla route planner is used to map a route from A to B, it asks for the vehicle model so that it knows the vehicle capacity. I assume it assumes something about driving speed to compute range. My question is, does it account for temperature, e.g., does it put it more charging stops in the winter?

Is there a way to see what the vehicle remaining range will be when arriving at the destination? Maybe that is constant in their calculations. If so what is it?

If Tesla's route planner doesn't do these things, does one of the others do it?

 

Thanks. I should have said more clearly that I was referring to tools used outside the car, so I was looking at the route planner web page. I'm happy to learn about in-vehicle, too! I wonder if the off-vehicle route planner is doing as much as what in-vehicle is doing? I'd hope so. I'm still not sure if temp is being considered, though.

 

Do you have a rule of thumb for how much you degrade range for temperature?

I wish I knew state of charge / range at end of trip. In one case, I'm look at a drive to go backpacking, so that car will sit idle and then there's the trip back. My guts tell me that the trip planner is stopping me at the trailhead in a low state of charge. I added a return leg to the planner so that it isn't one-way, but the recharging doesn't occur in the loop until the return leg, so I do need to wonder if it is parking me with low charge.

 

I appreciate your replies, but am growing frustrated at not being able to ask my question clearly: I would like to assess this at my desk, not in the car. This is for pre-trip planning. This is partly pre-purchase "does it work for me" scenario analysis. In one case, I am looking at a common backpacking trip we do and wondering if the vehicle can do this. I will be driving to the middle of nowhere. I know from the route planner there aren't chargers at or near the destination. I need to work out the logistics at my desk before I go to assess whether the gasoline vehicle will be used or, as pre-purchase, whether this is a hint that the long range option would be desired.

So, while I'm glad to hear about in vehicle options, I really do hope to hear whether end of trip state of charge can be estimated with tools at my desk. I know I can always take their route, know my starting range and then sum up all the deltas along the route per the suggested charge times, but it would be nice if the tool would do it for me since it knows its own charger network and the capabilities of each waypoint.

Maybe your message to me is that you don't do pre-trip planning, the network is that good. You just get in your car and go and never run into logistics problems. Is that the message I'm supposed to be hearing? Even for driving to remote, out of the way places in the midst of national parks? That would be great if that's the message! I do appreciate your replies. Many thanks.

 

Here are a couple of test cases:
1. 42.46450377865909, -71.33847203706098 to 44.11976896835354, -71.68096588204136 The second coordinate is a parking lot near a hiking trail. So, the car would sit there for, say 3 days, and then need to return to the starting coordinate.

2. 39.02853627101896, -77.07398217301343 to 40.78190845631624, -79.98826042472011 . The end point is a friend's house where only level 1 charging will be possible. The logistics need to handle a return trip after staying for a couple days.

 

Thanks, Bob. Much appreciated.

 

Bob, I just used your referral code. Thanks for answering my questions.
