Great suggestions, everyone! I'll post an updated version tomorrow. (Although feel free to continue to make suggestions in the meantime.) Thanks!!

120/240 makes the most sense to me... although my dad, who is a building code inspector, says it's actually 115/230 +/- 5%. For the record, the Tesla Motors web site says 110/240, which makes no sense to me:
Probably varies a bit by jurisdiction, but "nominal" utility voltages are 120/240 and have been for some time.
IMHO, although all of the numbers are essentially correct, I'd match what was on the Tesla site for the least confusion. Prospective buyers may not be very electrically savvy (and 110/240 happens to be how I've always heard them referred to).
Technically, that can't be. North American systems use a split phase system where each leg is 120 volts and are 180 degrees out of phase with each other. Two combined 120 volt legs yield 240 volts, while each leg to neutral yields 120 volts. If each leg was 110 volts, the combined would be 220. Sorry to nit-pick, I'm an electric utility guy.
I really think they're simply quoting the range of "standard" voltages over which the system works. It works as low as 110 and as high as 240.
Some places have 110/220 - that's in range. Others have 120/240 - that's in range, too.
I've just revised it using 120/240... although I'm sure it won't please everyone, at least the two numbers are consistent with one-another. I also corrected a few other items (including one typo -- "font" motor instead of "front" motor). Changed the Model S photo so that it was facing the same direction as the Roadster and X. Changed Model 3 text to say "Estimated 200+ mile range."
I'll probably send this to Staples for printing tonight or tomorrow. Open to any other suggestions.

Good catch, Barry!
The middle section is "skewed" right -- which looks good. It also allows room to put a "watermark" style rendering of the graphic.The one thing I'd like on the one I print, though is a small graphic that shows the battery box and the motors highlighted in red.
I would love it if someone could switch out the 85 for the 85D. I'm going to try to do my first car show this Fall and I'd love to be able to use it. Great poster!
Thanks for the corrections, Brian!

I just created an 85D version for you, but discovered that Tesla has changed the specs they show in the Design Studio. No longer do they show 1/4 mile time or motor torque... also, they seem to show only a combined hp for the 85D (as opposed to separate for P90D)... not sure if there is another "official" source for those numbers.
