No idea. My best guess at this point is that you’re not reporting the numbers accurately (or the car wasn’t). Philly airport to Allentown is at most 68 miles, so you using up 52% of the range means that the car’s range is (roughly) 131 miles. That’s about half the actual range of Hertz’s Model 3 (260 miles).
Meanwhile, even if those bizarre numbers were correct, you just let the navigation system take you to the superchargers at Hamburg and charge up until you are comfortable with it. It’s right on your way (Hamburg, PA | Tesla). Then you have plenty of charge for the week and you can pick up more at Allentown or Hamburg on your way back to the airport if you like.
Sure. But not for many years now.
This is strictly equivalent to “If I ignored the gas station and drove twenty miles down the road, then I would have needed to forty mile round trip to fill up later.” The only proper response is “So don’t do that.” Problem solved.
Only in your imagination.
