Made the annual Festivus road trip this weekend and decided it would be a good test for the trip planning options. The winner: Of the two sites, EVTripping came closer to predicting the needed charge. My old favorite, EVTripPlanner didn't plan enough energy reserve and, on one leg, didn't even recommend enough charge to make the leg! But, my favorite planner is now... the Nav planner in the Tesla. Just put in the destination and charge until the car says go! It's pretty accurate but I find that I lose about 5% immediately after getting back on the road. So, if you want to arrive with 15% let it charge to 20. NewsAnheuser-Busch has ordered 40 Tesla Semis! That brings the total to over 200 orders.
