Tesla Adds Accuracy To Battery Calculations With Weather Predictions
Tesla has added new weather predictions to its navigation system for calculating battery percentage. One of the features of the navigation system is predicting how much energy the electric vehicle will have on arrival at the destination. It calculates the battery percentage based on the person's driving style and environmental factors like elevation changes and temperature. Then, as the driver heads to their destination, the system continues to update the calculations. It will give a yellow warning if it predicts the battery will have low energy when it arrives at the destination and a red alert when the driver will have to charge their vehicle when they reach the destination.
This is a handy feature since no one wants to be stranded on a journey. Plus, with a lack of chargers in certain areas, knowing how much energy a vehicle will have for the trip is essential. And drivers can make a plan if they need to stop at a charging station on the way. It's also easy to search for charging stations by selecting icons for destination chargers, standard superchargers or high-powered superchargers right on the display screen.

The calculations must be as accurate as possible when a driver is planning a trip since there aren't as many charging stations as gas stations. So the more that the Tesla navigation system can account for, the better. Tesla tweeted on Saturday that it was adding predictions for "crosswind, headwind, humidity & temperature into account for calculating battery % on arrival."
