by Tesla The Range Forecast tool now considers more parameters for a more accurate calculation. This function provides real-time mileage calculation, similar to the instantaneous consumption function of gasoline cars. Tesla has introduced new features and parameters to improve its forecasts. The latest update promises to go a step further, making it more accurate than ever.
Some Tesla vehicles have an optional Long Range version that delivers more miles per kWh than the Standard or Performance versions. The two more expensive vehicles in the lineup, the Model S and Model X, also have a three-engine AWD option, offering more performance but slightly less range than the twin-engine AWD models. Overall, the RWD Model 3, the cheapest vehicle in Tesla’s lineup, has a minimum range of 267 miles, while the dual-engine Model S AWD has a maximum range of 375 miles in a single replacement.
According to reports, Tesla’s latest update has upgraded the built-in software to version 2022.20.7, introducing new parameters that allow its mileage calculation to be more accurate than ever. Here’s what Twitter users and frequent EV whistleblowers say @greentheonly, he claims that the tool now takes into account tire pressure and many other variables to accurately calculate the distance traveled. Some other factors used to estimate range include power loss due to phone charging and the use of 12V accessories, as well as air density and battery heating and cooling. Tire pressure in particular can significantly affect efficiency. According to one Twitter user, a difference between 42 and 45 PSI can result in a performance difference of 20 Wh/mile.
Tesla’s range prediction has now been greatly improved
Tesla previously made a series of other improvements to its range predictor that relies on a combination of factors based on local weather forecasts. Back in May, update 2022.16.0.2 made range calculations for Tesla vehicles more accurate. Before the update, Tesla only used altitude change as one of the key parameters to measure range. However, this update enables the Tesla vehicle’s in-vehicle navigational energy predictor to consider crosswind, crosswind, humidity, and ambient temperature data to accurately predict driving range. While these changes may not mean much for short trips, they could be useful for people using their Tesla on long road trips.
Tesla vehicles typically have excellent range, but as with any car, it’s important to accurately calculate and communicate available range to the driver to eliminate range anxiety. In a recent Consumer Reports survey, more than a quarter of Americans said they would not consider buying an electric vehicle despite its obvious benefits. About 55% of respondents also expressed concerns about the range and availability of chargers. With millions of people still skeptical about electric vehicles, Tesla and other automakers will have to do a lot to ease the range anxiety of most electric vehicle owners, especially when they’re driving. long-distance car or make road trips.
