    Well that's no doubt due to receiving an Irish Blessing ...

    May the road rise up to meet you.
    May the wind be always at your back.

    Guess-0-Meter ... classic!

    Thanks. I only got my 2025 with solar roof a few days ago, don't understand much about it yet, or how it is working. Might be able to compare later.

    One question though. On both the car's display, and the phone app, I only see the charge in percentage. How do you change it to see the estimated miles?

    I’ve wondered that myself. It would be interesting to see if the number of miles increases by the same number as the solar panel app predicts it should.
