Predicting Energy UsageWhen navigating to a destination, Model 3
helps you anticipate your charging needs by
calculating the amount of energy that remains
when you reach your destination. The
calculation is an estimate based on driving
style (predicted speed, etc.) and
environmental factors (elevation changes,
temperature, etc.). When navigating, the map
displays this calculation at the bottom of the
expanded turn-by-turn direction list (see
Navigating on page 107). When the turn-by-
turn direction list is compressed, touch the top
of the list to expand it.
Throughout your route, Model 3 monitors
energy usage and updates the calculation. A
popup warning displays at the bottom of the turn-by-turn direction list in these situations:
