Can a Tesla still drive when it shows 0 km of battery?
2 Answers
It can still drive approximately 20 kilometers. When driving a Model S on the highway at a speed of 45 miles per hour, it can travel about 408 miles. If the speed increases to 75 miles per hour, the range reduces to 269 miles. Here is additional information: Tesla Introduction: Tesla is the world's first electric vehicle company to adopt lithium-ion batteries. The electric vehicles it produces are sold in over 30 countries and it has manufactured the world's first mass-produced electric convertible sports car. Tesla is renowned as the most expensive electric vehicle brand in the world, with its cars priced significantly higher than those of other electric vehicle brands. However, the performance of Tesla vehicles is consistently reliable, making them highly favored in automotive markets worldwide.
As a regular Tesla owner who drives frequently, I believe it's best not to drive when the display shows 0 km of range, as it's extremely dangerous. The car has a range estimation system that will alert you before the battery is truly empty. Once it shows 0 km, it means the battery is depleted to its limit. From my experience, you might move a few dozen meters at most in this situation, but the car could stall at any moment. Stalling on the highway poses collision risks and could also damage the expensive battery pack. I've heard of people trying to gamble and reach a charging station, only to end up with a deeply discharged battery requiring major repairs costing tens of thousands. The best approach is to find a charging spot immediately when the battery is low, don't wait until it hits zero. Make it a habit to charge when there's 20% battery left to protect battery lifespan. Remember, safety first—don't risk driving to save a little time.
