Tesla revealed all the factors affecting his mileage calculation, including wind speed, ambient temperature, etc.

CTOnews.com, November 14 (Xinhua)-- mileage calculation is difficult for both electric and internal combustion engine power systems. Because there are so many factors that affect the driving efficiency of a vehicle, it is difficult to determine how far it can go when it is fully charged or full of fuel.

However, the calculation of mileage is very important, and accurate mileage prediction can alleviate the endurance anxiety to a certain extent. When entering the destination in the navigation system, Tesla will show the driver the estimated mileage remaining when he arrives at the destination. As long as the mileage forecast remains true, there will be no endurance anxiety.

Although Tesla has always been a leader in electric vehicles, the company still has deficiencies in calculating mileage. In the past few years, Tesla has put more effort into calculating mileage, and added "crosswind, headwind, humidity and ambient temperature" to a software update last year. A few months later, the tire pressure was added to the calculation.

CTOnews.com notes that in a new article on X today, Tesla lists all the factors involved in accurately predicting the mileage of a particular vehicle on a particular journey, as follows:

Wind speed and direction

Altitude / slope

Traffic speed

Average acceleration / deceleration

Ambient temperature

Humidity and pressure

Solar load and clouds

Initial battery percentage

Initial battery temperature

Total vehicle weight

Rolling resistance

Aerodynamic drag coefficient

HVAC consumption

Specific energy consumption of a vehicle (bicycle frame or similar)

Battery preheating
