What to do when Tesla Model S or electric cars run out of energy?

If you're running, the Tesla Model S is about to run out of power, what should the driver do? What should I do to stop safe if I can't run any more? There are a few things to know about Tesla Model S or any other electric car.

First, an electric vehicle will be able to run from 15km to 35km even if the power indicator bar indicates '0' . Once you have run enough distance, you can only pull the car away, and then the control screen system is only enough to operate for about half an hour. After that, all that 'run' was the door handle and the flashing light.

Therefore, before everything is completely dark , it is best for drivers to remember to switch to a tow mode and shift the number to a step (N - Neutral) to when pulling on trucks is also easier. When the Model S is recharged , it also needs to be turned off and the system reset, certainly not set to 'weak power' mode.

The reason we have the story above is the experience of the guys at Teslarati during the journey from Las Vegas to Barstow, California. After using the 'Supercharger' charging station in Las Vegas to fully charge the Tesla Model S, they thought the car could run about 240 miles (384km), but in fact they could only cross the road. nearly 160 miles (256km); exactly they had to stop after 157 miles.

The reason is that a sandstorm blew up the wind at 35 mph (56 km / h) toward the car when it was running at 75 mph (120 km / h). In addition, Teslarati said, the height difference is also another reason why the Tesla Model S cannot run further distances. Las Vegas and Barstow are more than 670m above sea level and have many steep hills, so the car must climb more steeply and consume more power.

Although currently in Vietnam we have not seen a Tesla Model S or any other electric car, but this is a fun experience to pay attention to 'the future'.
