Anyone get lower than this without having it die?

Foxwoods or Mohegan Sun?

That would of been a good idea .... we were visiting a Ct based Law Enforcement Motorcycle Club winter open house, sans bikes...

Made it to the charger with this! Oof. Close call.

I got down to 3%, came to a stop sign and, zap, it was all gone. It didn't even want to give me what I was owed.

Considering when I ran out in South Dakota in the summer of 2024 after I forgot to account for my unhitched trailer at a slow charging stop, I was only at 12%ish before it just suddenly cut out, I'm not gonna be pushing it that low again lol

I had read a Car and Driver article that ran an EV to brick status. Even past 0% they got 10-15miles(?). Tried that with a BMW i3. It died on the side of the freeway EXACTLY when it said it would!

Are you remembering the Motortrend article?

I read this article about being stuck at a DCFC that wouldn't charge and requiring a second tow.

Recently, I was DCFC'ing at a Tesla supercharger, when during the charging session, a Tesla was towed to the chargers. The flat bed lifted his ramp and let the Tesla driver reverse off of the truck and into a charging station. The driver started the charge and confirmed that he was good.

It got me thinking...If I knew I couldn't make it to a charger, would I stop and save a couple percent to reverse the truck off the flat bed, or (in motortrend's case) have some range to switch to a different charger.

If you die at zero and don't repeatedly try to drive, you should have enough to drive into the stall once you get there.
