What happens if a Tesla runs out of charge?
As it keeps slowing down to around 15mph, your Tesla will notify you that it won’t be able to drive soon, and finally, it comes to a stop and puts itself into parking. At this point, you’ll need to call roadside assistance or a tow truck to get you to the nearest charging station.
