I dont know how far back (in equipment levels) the new energy screens go, but since the OP says "friend just bought..." All teslas from the past year ish will definitely have access to the new energy screen.
My 2018 model 3 has the new screens as well, not sure about the OPs model X though.
The OP can send these pics back to their friend if desired, though.

EDIT: I didnt answer the thread question.... the thread question says "why not tesla" and the answer is " Tesla does have this".
