It's going to haunt not just Tesla for years, but all electric vehicles. And with good reason - calculating the remaining potential energy of Lithium batteries

It's going to haunt not just Tesla for years, but all electric vehicles. And with good reason - calculating the remaining potential energy of Lithium batteries is difficult, even without throwing in the variable of temperature. It is not, by any means, "simple physics". The battery is a weak point in all EVs right now, and not just because of this. Full disclosure, I own a Zero motorcycle. The thing is amazing in SF city traffic. It's less amazing on the highway. You should read up on Terry Hershner. He's taken a Zero motorcycle cross country by driving for 45 minutes and charging for 45 minutes. So, it can be done, but road trips are not the optimal use case for an electric vehicle. yet. :)
