STRANDED Tesla Model 3! What Happens When You Run Out of Battery?

okay zero to sixty with zero miles I just died no and I'm not even going to go like I'm not even going to make it to 60 okay guys so I said let's go for a ride and we'll get on. the

model

3 the idea is can we get a full 310 miles on a full charge on the

model

3 so I charged it fully last night. We're exactly on 310 right now, let's get on the freeway. up to the speed limit and let's see

what

we get, stay tuned, okay, zero miles, we're officially at 279, we finally have the warning that the

battery

charge is low, we're not there yet, but about 35 miles per hour is the fastest we can go right now. so we're at 280 miles, we hit zero around 268, so so far we're about 12 miles out from zero and now it's finally slowing us down, so the brightness on the screen is low, the autopilots are still enabled eh, interesting, that.

I was crazy, so I let it go and then I hit the accelerator and it gave us that little jolt. There's the charger. I would love to run like I was in a charger. Oh stop, let's say a car turns off. Okay, I'll turn around. and I try to go back to the charger, it doesn't seem to let me slow down, huh, that's it, that's it, oh, that was really, look we're like in a parking space and technically it's still on,

what

if I turn it on? do we leave? I like to reverse, okay, so it's officially dead, we're here, this is probably a bad place to park, okay, so I think that's it, I think we did it, the hazards are on, now we have to Call our tow truck and see what they say.

Everything still seems to be working. One thing that was curious was about the rear batteries or the rear doors. Okay, they work fine. What do I mean by autopilot? Technically it still works. This is working. We will cancel our trip. The air conditioning does not work. Yeah that makes sense let's try it ok I have stuff in the trunk so let's undo this in case we need to get there and the front too in case we need to remove the wipers okay let's try to restart and if we can move forward on our own a bit.

There's no charge here to get out of between these cars, so I'm going to hold both of them down. Well, that usually takes a lot longer. Okay, so let's restart. Okay, yeah, yeah, yeah, windshield wipers off, so let's go. We're dead in the water here with the wipers off 280 1.1 miles with a watt hour per mile of 267 and we're spending 75 kilowatt hours exactly right, so we've got the tow truck in the way, we're literally 500 yards away. We can't put it in neutral or anything and the tow mode option only lasts a certain amount of time so we can't even do that to get it off the road.

The most common thing that could happen is that you could literally run out of power. way the tow truck will be here in 15 minutes so I hope that takes care of everything else. I don't like the position we're in, but I'm hoping once we get into tow mode we can figure all that out, so next We'll have the tow truck here and we'll be on our way, okay Joe, trucks here free of charge, okay so we die they told us we are here on a super charger also a couple of tips on that tip mode. It only lasts about 20 minutes so I wanted to put it in convergence mode and push the car out of the way but I did because I was waiting for the truck to arrive

when

it got here and didn't use it. the eye hook that comes on the front because he said it takes too long and it was easier to just put a soft strap around the tire and then hook the winch to that so overall it was pretty easy even with My car went down a inch and a half and it sat perfectly on the platform.

I noticed that in the manual it says not to tow it on anything other than a flatbed. These guys knew they were professionals. It worked perfectly. So with the exception of getting stuck in a dangerous position on the road, I'd say the fear of running out of

battery

and all that really isn't a big deal. I mean, this was a pretty quick turnaround and you know, here we are. We'll be back home in about an hour, so don't worry too much about range anxiety, especially in a car with this range.
