It is impossible to miss. If you dismiss that warning, it comes back up every few percent, and when you get below 10% there is another, even more urgent warning. This is seriously not an issue. I repeat: It’s IMPOSSIBLE to miss.
I appreciate the information - and that's good to know. But if you've got a "tank" with less than 300 miles of actual range, getting that warning at 25% may not be good enough. If I end up having to cover a meeting up in Fort Lauderdale, or have a series of errands I need to run on a weekend, I can't wake up that morning and find myself with only 70-80 miles in the tank and needing a lengthy charge.
And I think you're underestimating what a teenager is actually able to completely miss, even when it's "IMPOSSIBLE to miss." Trust me - she's capable of ignoring things a LOT more visible (and audible!) than what you're describing.
I don't think we're disagreeing that much. If you have the ability to charge every night, you should be able to make sure you never run into a "short tank" situation the next day. It sounds like the vehicle will all-but-yell at you when you get to a quarter tank, so odds are you'll never wake up in the morning with less than a quarter tank. But because the tank is small, if you're someone who has days from time to time when you have to drive double the average (80 miles or more), you've still got to be on top of things a little bit in order to be certain not to have an issue.
I'd just prefer not to have that in my life. I mean, I can't charge at home - so EV's are a no-go right from jump. But even if I had home charging, it wouldn't be a viable option for me.
