Replying to the dead comment: the point of not using the Tesla-specific tools was that she wasn't trying to do a Tesla-specific road trip. She was trying to do a roadtrip in an EV, and just happened to choose a Tesla because it had most range of the EVs available to rent (many of the EVs available to thoses of us in California aren't yet available elsewhere).

That makes no sense. She clearly planned ahead in a way you wouldn’t for a petrol car.

The “tool” everyone is mentioning is literally in the car dashboard. You have to go out of your way to _not_ use it by default.
