I bring up DCFC, because that's one way to estimate capacity if you assume some losses. DCFC should give you more optimistic figure, yet it consistently shows less. As mentioned, I get mid 16 kWh.But when I charge to 100% using L1 or L2, then monitor % used vs kWh used since last full charge in energy use screen, I get bit over 18 kWh now. Mine is 2015, almost 2 years old, 17K miles. Due to insufficient significant figures, you have to take lots of readings and average them and use up lots of battery.2014 having only 17.3 kWh doesn't make sense. Tony Williams did a range test, and he got 98 miles at 62 MPH with 5 mi/kWh efficiency. 98/5 = 19.6 kWh. While it's possible there's variation from car to car, it shouldn't be over 2 kWh different.</blockquote>
