I also use percentage. It's not something that I usually think about. I just know that my "real range" is 180 miles at highway speeds. That's not something they tell you when you buy a Tesla.

I also just don't use navigation if I've been somewhere more than once. Just navigate with my head..

Tesla advertises EPA range which is a mix of city and highway driving with an average speed way below normal interstate highway speeds.

I use the navigation all the time, even when I know the way, because it knows about traffic jams and so I can get a good range estimate for longer trips. It even gives you a round-trip estimate back to your starting point.
