I Drove My Tesla Until it Died! What Happens at 0%?

[@ddb5736]

The battery cannot charge at high speed when is empty or very low, same when is very high getting close to 100%. Reason is simple, the battery is at the most unstable state when they are on the extremes. Once it is closer to the middle (50%), the battery relaxes and can take a big punch. This is why it takes longer to charge at the extremes but charges very fast when is between 20% and 80% (approximately). If you want your battery to last very long (lifespan of the battery, not the charge) you want to keep it within that range all the time. In fact, for the longest lifespan, you would want to keep it between 40% and 60% ALL THE TIME. Of course that would be nonsense, but it is the way all these batteries work (same with cell phones, laptops, tablets, etc). While going to extremes a few times during the lifespan of the battery won’t do a permanent damage, you do want to stay away from doing that as much as possible. Never let the battery go under 10%. I would suggest to make that number 20% instead. And when charging, charge it up to 80% and no more than 90% (Tesla recommendation is 90% and only to 100% when going on a long trip). Until battery technology improves drastically, we will have to keep doing this. Hopefully within a few years we will see a breakthrough, and eventually (I give it about 10 years from now) we will have batteries that can charge in a few minutes, give two to three times more power and don’t need to be worrying about percentage, just charge it to 100% every time and go on with your life. And probably by then Tesla will have vehicles that go 0 to 60 MPH in under one second 😜 Cheers

@Neptonium 青, yep and the fact I couldn't believe is that he couldn't even get into his vehicle. I can't believe they're making $50K-$100K+ vehicles like these without contingencies against the very thing it's based off of "being operated solely by electricity" and the fact IF you experienced some issue of running out of power, you can't do something as simple as getting your items out of your car which a backup mechanical system such as a door key cylinder and mechanical handle would allow as it's been used for decades, just like the combustion engine itself. Maybe this should be something Elon and his engineering team should be implementing. It really makes no sense, it's like installing windows in a vehicle with no provision to lower them so you can pull up to drive-thru's for food, banking transactions or just speak to someone without opening the door and anyone who has ever had an electric window motor fail, knows how problematic it is to not be able to lower the window just as our host here indicated how problematic it is to lose complete power to the vehicle and not be able to open a door etc.

That slow charge at first is because your cells are below 3 volts. Lithium chargers usually slow charge until cells get above 3 volts. You basicly have around 8200 little batteries in it. The 18650 cells like whats in a vape or rechargable flashlight. Each cell has to be protected.

[@spcs1]

Just a suggestion but the smart charger might have slowed down the charge when it was at 0% to keep from wearing down the battery as much and the car might show 0% longer that the battery is actually at 0% so the driver feels a higher urge to charge the car

[@raymondwong2521]

I wonder what the thinking was behind not having any sort of mechanical access to the car in the event that it's completely out of power. I guess prying open the charge port is the only thing you can do to get it plugged in and then go from there once power's restored?

[@Retro_Care]

i would have thought that driving it would stop earlier so electronics keep working but i was wrong :), i still think there should always be a bit of power for charge port and doors at least after shutting down the motors or at 0% there would be a warning that you could drive max 10km on low power/speed to be safe and allow you to get in and out of the car.

Yea I figured it would still drive a while after it was at 0% because they want to make you think it’s lower than it is so you can charge it more often

[@mark_handle]

Your scenario with an X was luckier than mine. I borrowed a (2018?) model X from a friend yesterday who drives it only a bit around town. She has no home charging facility but uses a local gas station with a supercharger. She's not aware of what RFID cards are for EVs, and neither was I. I charged it in the morning at the local gas station the owner always uses, to the maximum 80% the car allowed (I had no idea why this was limited to 80%) then I drove to a ski resort one hour away, went sledding with my daughter, left to go home at 6pm, and at 9pm we finally got stuck, no power left. About halfway back I saw that the remaining charge would make it tight to reach home so I stopped at a huge freeway rest stop with restaurant and all kinds of facilities. They had about 5 charging stations. When I went to charge up, the machine asked for my RFID card or credit card. I gave my CC. It said "You are not authorized to charge." I was stumped. I left and figured I would find another place. I drove by many gas stations, but found none with EV charging. I googled the car's charger-finder aid, but it failed to work. Had I managed to find one, would it have "allowed" me to charge the car? When the car finally died, I had just managed to get it off the road but the back corner was still in the bike lane a bit. I called a towtruck. They said they can't do Teslas. I called Tesla service. They said "if you have no charge, we don't support you." I asked why and his answer was basically, if you haven't got the sense to stay charged up it's your fault. When you call for help, you need help, not someone saying "your accident/situation was your fault so you deal with it!" FU Tesla! He gave me a phone number of someone he said would help. They came and tried to attach a booster to the car's 12V battery, which was totally buried under a large air filter housing NOT removable without removing around 10 screws. He didn't do that, just tried to squeeze the jumper clamps onto the terminals through a skinny gap between the air filter housing and "frunk" edge but they kept popping off. After an hour he left, but called me a towtruck that could handle a Tesla. I waited (again) in the freezing cold... my daughter long-ago picked up and brought home by a friend with an Uber. Around 11pm the tower arrived, towed me to a strange charging station at a public swimming pool nearby, used the car's charge cable, started charging, noticed after a while the car was not accepting the charge, because there was still no basic power to power the car's life systems to allow it to accept charge. He spent a long time fiddling with the stupid buried battery as well, then gave up and had to disassemble and remove the air filter housing to allow the cable to get a good contact with the terminals. Car finally accepted charge. After spending 3 hours with me he left me there after 1am to sit in the car and try to sleep while it very slowly charged. At 2am it showed 60km driving range so I stopped charging and drove the 10k to my friend's place (they're on a holiday) and took an Uber home. This nightmare would never have happened with a normal car.

[@biggestlexi5489]

The majority of this sounds like your fault actually

[@mark_handle]

@@biggestlexi5489 My fault? One could say it was "my fault" for not having learned everything I needed to know before borrowing a friend's car, but that's not really fair, is it? I assumed she had already explained what I needed to know, and so did she. Like when I charged the car in the morning and it was limited to 80% charge: she should have known that this was something I would need to know how to overcome, but how could I have even anticipated that it was possible, or that it could be changed? Driving home, and being refused a charge: I did what anyone else would have done. I drove to the next station, or the next one I could find. I agree that when the charge showed that I had only 20kms left and that I wouldn't get home, I should have parked the car and taken a taxi home etc. But that's the only thing I think that I really messed up on, that I kept driving.

[@CYAnomo]

I have run my model X 15 miles below 0. Teslas have a buffer of 10 to 20 miles which is why they rate the range higher than what people might get if they only ran it down to zero. In any case at one point it said there was not enough energy for the computer to reboot. I plugged in the home charger and assumed it would schedule charge overnight. But apparently there was not enough battery for the car to even wake up for a scheduled charge. Instead it drained more battery and when I opened the door the next day and tried the start it, the reboot of the car used up every last drop of energy. Now I couldn't even charge the car, start the computer or open any doors. The 9 volt battery was dead even. I had to jumpstart the car and thus managed to provide enough juice to start the computer and to get the charge process started. Disaster averted.

[@DaveBoxBG]

When you reach 0 you must charge it. The remaining power if exactly for the doors and ports to open. If you drive until complete die out it will not open the doors. Its understandable...

[@PerryCS2]

to everyone saying "we can get 33 more kilometers" it all depends on quality and condition of the battery, vehicle weight, speed, accessories being used, temperature outside. Also remember, batteries destroy themselves when they are really low. I bet that "extra" below 0% is the protection for the battery to not drive it to (real 0%) all the time. Batteries are happiest between ~10% and ~90%. The test just slightly shortened the life of his car battery. It's also good he didn't leave it low for long periods as they will speed up the degradation. Also, just because you CAN go below 0% don't rely on it... and if you do it a lot, you will certainly pay for it in the long run with shortened battery life.

Many EVs don't set their 0% point at the cell minimum recommended voltage, instead they behave more like the E line on the gas gauge on gas powered vehicles. Some will set the E point at a half gallon, while others may set it at a point just above the line of the coil for the fuel pump so that users do not readily run the fuel level below the line of motor of the fuel pump since those are cooled by the fuel in the tank when submerged. Beyond that, when someone sees 0% or E, they will drive more conservatively and head straight for a gas station or charger.

There is a mechanical back-up lock on the door aside from the power electric locks so you'd just use that method to get out.

[@karl7796]

That steering wheel looks awkward when making a lock to lock turn. A battery is not designed to be discharged to "0"%. The "0"% on an electric car maybe 5% to allow some emergency travel, like a petrol car gives a low fuel warning with 10L of fuel left.I wonder how the street supply can handle a bunch of electric cars charging in peak usage times say on one street? They have to compete with cooking and heating loads, hope the sub station can handle it.

[@ejonesss]

1. driving around the block many times like that could be suspicious so you may want to talk to your neighbors and explain your intent to ease them because someone casing the place for robbery or something would do the same thing. 2. due to recent ev fires even involving teslas the newer teslas will slow charge a really low battery to get it up to a much safer level before doing a full charge. if you are recovering a over discharged or even zero volt battery cell it is good idea to slow charge until it gets up to a safe level in witch a faster charge would be safe. though it is very risky because the chemistry becomes unstable when it is over discharged. i hope your car survived and nothing bad happened. 3. i saw in another video that the circles on the front can be pushed out to reveal a hidden power cable witch you can connect a 9 volt battery to to get your front storage open however if your car is locked i doubt it will work.

Valuable test. I like knowing the car won’t completely stop when it reaches 0%. These cars already create so much range anxiety and the time to charge so much longer than Petrol cars. If only they could overcome those shortcomings I’d buy one without reservation. These vehicles aren’t ready to completely replace ICE automobiles and the infrastructure for charging is also lacking compared to Petrol cars. I think it’s a mistake for states and countries passing laws about ICE automobiles at this juncture. Just setting us up for man made crisis.

Reasons why not everything can be electrically driven, you had to pry the charge port door open. My car you just push on the door and it pops open. And the charge door lock is driven by the 12 volt battery and not the traction battery.

[@SniperSnake50BMG]

Is normal that some cases the BMS disconnects the battery to protect it so is only running on 12v but even so some features may not work properly. Advisable to not close completely the car and more importantly not reach zero...

[@Trillville43]

0% isn't empty as there is a buffer but this should be done to calibrate the computer so it know the top and bottom end of the battery because charging from 5% or higher up to 80% over time will cause it to go out of balance amd even more so with LFP

[@e0nema0tak1v]

Its good thing to test this in a controlled situation. That way if it happens in an emergency you will know what to expect and react accordingly.

[@meeladsamadi]

the neighbours watching the car going in circles woulda been funny asf

[@NorwayChallenge]

Why don't basic things like the charge port or tailgate run off of the 12 volt battery? Seems like a terrible design choice.

[@MekhaiCraner-m6t]

There is en emergency latch for the door if the car runs out of battery, just so you know.

[@nickcapone]

So is there no way to get the doors open from the outside in an emergency situation? That seems life threatening for children who can’t use the emergency latches on inside

[@ROKKOREX]

Lithium batteries are not intended to run below 3.7v per cell don't be surprised if one day the battery doesn't take a charge at all because the charger can't see the battery below certain voltage perimeters. Just my opinion I could be wrong

[@Nazz-b7p]

Is this that 10% buffer everyone talks about to actually keep from having serious damage on the pack? That 30 miles or so below the zero percent.

[@cranbers]

Did any of your neighbors stop and ask, what are you doing with a confused look? haha. 20 miles around the block in front of your house, that is dedication. (how long did that take?) So tesla does give you a "reserve". And it is interesting that the car slows down like a toy car does when its batteries are low. I would of thought it would have some sort of cut off so you can't drive at all once it gets to a certain point. But I imagine on the highway it would die very quickly once you get even close to 10km left. Peronslly lowest I got my model 3 down to was maybe 60. No idea what the actual range is and yeah nothing scarier then being stuck on the side of a highway. My guess is towing is the only option and that is a 300-500 dollar mistake I bet.

[@patrickojeh]

What if you were inside the car when the battery ran out, is there any guarantee it would let you out?

[@BbB-yl1kg]

there is a emergency lever to open door in the 3 i know

[@patrickojeh]

@@BbB-yl1kg that makes sense then

[@xHadesStamps]

Seriously, who in their right mind thought a motorized charge port or electronic door latches were a good idea?? Especially a motorized charge port with no place to grap to open it by hand?? What’s wrong with the designs we used for the fuel door in an ICEV, where you A. reach into a divot in the door to open it (my preferred way), 2, push the door in to pop it out (push latch), or even III, pull a lever next to the driver’s seat with a cable attached?

[@qtla9111]

After 0% you still were able to drive 30 km. Put that into a real-life scenario. Imagine running out of gasoline on a highway, looking to get a ride, or walking, with no container to transport the fuel. It looks like a winner to me.

[@jec_ecart]

Just get a can of fuel. Duh.

[@jayedgecombe2571]

30k after 0 on a flat road, mine barely made it from Vancouver to Britton Creek services, everything changes in the cold and when the gradient is more severe. I didn't think I was getting past the snow sheds I was going so slow.

[@hvacrefrigeration5204]

Not many people know about details of DC and AC system. But people’s mind in general they willing test something or test themselves base on how feel it, but at the end they all will get the lesson learned either positive or negative results from it.

[@michaelcorvin5891]

I found out from a Friend that when the battery dies and shuts down that like .1% of the battery still has power or it wouldn't instantly start charging when you plug it up... also they should find a way to let the car unlock it's axels or something to make it easy to push because I bet that thing feels like someone hitting the breaks when pushing it

[@stephanevallieres]

People when Model X, do they close the rear doors sometime ? Every photo/thumbnails about Model X shows the doors open... Maybe it's a Delorean you wanted ?

[@MishelSeeraj]

Pov neighbors be like: is the guy doing a drive by shoot😂

[@lechoix88]

Thanks for the informative video on the Tesla battery... good to know there's some reservoir juice left to go another 20-30km when it hits 0%.

[@frozenman82]

What’s the point of a square steering wheel?

[@c.a.nixiii4650]

Very informative and scary! I bet your neighbors thought you were nuts with all the circling! LOL! And how ironic your GoPro Battery failed FIRST! Cheers!

[@A3421]

So scary! 😱

[@Napoleon_Blownapart]

Its so strange it lock you out and, from what I could see, was dead. Shouldn't the power for door locks and such be coming from the 12v battery?

[@ozoneA6]

This is why tesla is the best in the electric market. He drove alot on 0%. Ese magnifico! Fuego!🔥👏💯

[@svenis97]

Did you get the yoke because there was no option for a normal steering wheel available yet for your tesla?

[@anthonyjohnson5171]

This was actually a very interesting video!! Thank you for the video!

[@tejae504]

That panic that set in was authentic
