Looks like lots of nice buttons on that console!

85kWh / 300mi. That comes out to 28 1/3 kWh/100mi, not bad if it's accurate.

And good touch that they're offering a home 11kW charger with it.

Or 3.5 miles per kWh, if that's your preferred unit of measure.

That said, it's nice that they aren't skimping on the included EVSE but hopefully it's adjustable. 11kW is pretty high, and needs to be hardwired with some pretty big (expensive) wire. In reality, few people really need it even though everyone thinks they do. If you figure roughly 10 hours of charging overnight (most people have more time than that) you can go 10-100% with only 7.7kW (32A @ 240V). And let's be honest: most people won't do that much driving in a typical day, certainly not back to back with a short turnaround time.
