So I was connected my mode backmost from Udupi to Bangalore yesterday, and did my accustomed halt astatine Hotel skybirds adjacent Hassan. A 40 min complaint present is bully capable to get maine home. For immoderate unusual reason, I stopped charging aft 25 mins, reasoning I volition halt for chai astatine Paakshala Yediyur and complaint for different 15 mins portion sipping chai and taking a restroom break. As I got person to Yediyur I felt implicit assured that I volition scope Bangalore without taking the 2nd charging break. As I touched Hebbal I was astatine 13% and 20 km much to go. Not atrocious I thought. When I crossed KR Puram the SoC had dropped to 8% with 8 KM to go. When I reached Rainbow children?s infirmary I was astatine 5% and had 6 km to go. That?s erstwhile fearfulness gripped maine that my calculations were going awry. The SoC was plummeting accelerated and the accustomed mathematics of ~3km for a percent was not holding good. Just managed to scope Bagmane Solarium and reversed into a ammunition recharge bay and the artillery went 0%. I was conscionable 2 km distant from location but would?ve got stranded if I did not marque this stop.

Moral of the story: Don?t beryllium overconfident oregon stupid. Charge erstwhile you can

For the interested, here?s however the bottommost fell disconnected the past 5% wherever each mathematics fails!

If it's successful the city, and you are a fewer meters distant from a charging station, power it to neutral portion the electronics is inactive powered up. If the car has a tow hook, you tin tow it with the assistance of a friend's car. Or, get idiosyncratic to propulsion the car, oregon get idiosyncratic to drive, and you propulsion the car. It's important to bash each this portion you are inactive astatine 1% charge, and not hold till electronics besides spell off, wherever you cant power thrust modes, powerfulness steering, brakes etc. On a Tesla astatine 0% limp mode, main batteries and AC does not work. But successful dash electronics keeps moving for you to enactment the car successful tow mode.
