Pushing the limits

[Evey]

Does anybody know how many miles you can still drive AFTER getting to zero miles remaining and displaying the warning to "Stop and Pull Over to Safely Stop"?

I assume there is some safety margin built-in when this warning displays. I drove about a mile and still had power when I finally stopped.

I could only go about about a mile after I got the "Charge Depleted" message before the charge was really depleted, but I was going uphill. Here's my full story on it:

So were you conducting an experiment on pushing the limit, or did you hit the limit unintentionally?

Partially both. I was trying to get to/from a destination in the mountains. I got there with only 10 miles left - after going up to 3,400 ft/38.4mi. Made it all the way back down, near my home when I got the 'all stop' message. I kept driving an extra 3/4 mi or so and made it into my garage.

I just wondered if there was more 'margin of error' than what appeared.
