Honestly, I don't understand why they don't just switch the battery to percentage by default for Teslas. The trip meter using the built in GPS is extremely accurate for getting to actual % remaining based on the route traveled. No confusion, no hassle. Percentage just means percentage. Just like on a cars gas meter.
- nonfamous 3y agoFWIW, even if your main battery display (on the top row of the screen) is set to range (e.g. 181mi), the nav system always displays the battery charge at the destination points as a percentage.
- bob778 3y agoMost ICE cars show remaining fuel as a distance now, in addition to the fuel gauge (although some now hide the gauge behind several digital menus). No GPS required though, just a tachometer and fuel-burn sensor, and they're required to be accurate to within 2% by law.
- atonse 3y agoNo this wouldn’t work for exactly the areas where you start to have range anxiety. You’d want to know if you can drive home or to a charger on the current battery level. So you’d only care about miles. Whereas electronics it’s different because outlets are everywhere. So it’s mostly interesting and mildly anxiety inducing.
