Remember when Elon Musk teased an end to range anxiety, that feeling you get when driving electric cars that you might run out of juice before you get to your final destination? Well, the answer, turns out, isn't a larger battery, but it does sound pretty innovative.
As part of Model S software update 6.2, new features called Range Assurance and Trip Planner will automatically make sure a proposed journey includes scheduled stops to recharge the car's onboard battery pack and will alert the driver if he or she gets too far away from known charging points. Nice features, for sure, but hardly a technological breakthrough.
