We don’t often push the limits. A completely dead battery can brick the $15k battery. I’m told that there is a 20 miles range when it hits 0 miles on my 2015 Model S but I’ve only run it down to below 20 miles a handful of times in 8 years. The beauty is it has a full charge every morning so it rarely has less than 80 miles of range. I don’t need it to go farther than the 140 miles to our lake home more than once a year and we have a diesel Range Rover with a 620 mile highway range.Ya I suppose you cant really walk to anywhere and come back w/a can of electrons? What do EV owners do? Buy a really really really really long extension cord?
Ya I get what a "responsible" person would do...but what actually physically happens to an EV when an irresponsible person runs it dead? So you gotta tow it somwhere to charge it and hope the battery isn't junk? As these things age, and get sold used, I'm sure we are going to see them in the hands of less responsible ownersWe don’t often push the limits. A completely dead battery can brick the $15k battery.

Who said I was responsible? I've run out of fuel a dozen times in a car and a couple times in a boat.Ya I get what a "responsible" person would do...but what actually physically happens to an EV when an irresponsible person runs it dead?

You never run out of fuel in a boat if you have paddles and childrenWho said I was responsible? I've run out of fuel a dozen times in a car and a couple times in a boat.
I have a 2 door with the 2.7. I drove 2 miles after it read 0 miles and put 16 gallons in a 16.7 gallon tank. It isnt going to go too far after 0. When my F-250 says 0 miles to empty, it still has 4 gallons left. I just wish Ford would have put a bigger tank on itWho else has almost ran out of gas ?
I've put 17.1gal in mine and it said I still had 5 miles leftI have a 2 door with the 2.7. I drove 2 miles after it read 0 miles and put 16 gallons in a 16.7 gallon tank.

That makes me feel betterI've put 17.1gal in mine and it said I still had 5 miles left
FWIW you probably still had 1.5gal left
more like half gallon per fill.If you follow these tips I bet you could save a dollar a month!
Seems to me that with a working fuel gauge and audio and visual signals that suggest that you should fill your tank, that running out of fuel is about the dumbest thing a person can do.Who else has almost ran out of gas ?
The dumbest thing? Out of curiosity, have you met any people, by chance?Seems to me that with a working fuel gauge and audio and visual signals that suggest that you should fill your tank, that running out of fuel is about the dumbest thing a person can do.
*Raises hand* I have...several times, but I'm particular about where I get gas from. If I think I can make it, I'm going to Sam's club. I think my lowest was 3. I know for sure I was on 5 once, I just happened to look down and was like shit, because I was actually lost, out riding around just looking at Christmas decorations. However I do always fill up. So, there is no getting gas when I'm on half etc. I just get low then fill all the way up.Who else has almost ran out of gas ?
