I've seen people elsewhere say online that the Tesla GOM is always about 20% optimistic in winter. Personally I'd prefer the VW system... although I'd prefer it even more if the GOM was just an option to display but the %SoC was always visible, like a fuel gauge.

Given that Tesla are generally ahead of the game it does seem a bit strange that the estimated range would be the same all year round. Guess it might reduce the questions around battery health but having it show your likely range based on various factors seems more helpful to me.

Yes I would whole heartedly agree with that wish completely.

Supposed to be coming in the 3.0 software.

I don't have the % displayed on my phone like many choose to, it would be useful to have the car display it's own % though.

Where on the car menu do I set the charge to over 80%?

Go into the ‘Vehicle’ menu then on the left hand side of the screen there are ‘buttons’. Select the one that says ‘Charging’. On the screen you will then be able to see your car’s SOC. Also you will see a slider along the bottom of the screen which will probably be set to charge to 80%. Move the slider to increase or decrease what you want the car to charge to. Hope this is okay as I’am typing this from memory while in bed with a cup of tea watching to. 😀
