Is that a bit of wear on the driver's headrest (the two white patches)?
On reddit the person who took the photo said it is adhesive from a label like on the passenger seat.

Is that a bit of wear on the driver's headrest (the two white patches)?
That photo, plus all the other "spy" photos we've seen so far of the display, were shot at an oblique angle from outside the vehicle. We need to see it photographed from the driver's seated position before passing judgment.Wow... There's a reason cars with real dashboards have them built recessed into the dash so they are in a shadow. Look at that glare and the fingerprints... I realize that the screen is off, but you can't remove that glare and reflections that easily. Ugh, I'm sorry, but I'm not liking this at all. Unless that screen is OLED, it's going to be tough to read it in bright daylight.
Using Photoshop, I performed some crude measurements of the charging screen to estimate the Model 3's current state of charge to be about 31% with 95 miles of rated range. That extrapolates out to about 306 miles of rated range (!!) for a 100% charge.

Reasoning:
If what we're seeing here is accurate and headed to production, then it would appear that the 75 kWh battery will indeed break the 300-mile barrier, which is exactly the kind of information that Tesla would want to keep out of public view... until now, apparently...
- The gauge fits about 3 of the green section (each measured by a different-colored line of identical length), plus another 25% of the green section.
- If x is the current SOC, then 3.25x ~= 100% SOC --> x ~= 31% SOC
- 95 miles / 31% = 306 miles
- The dashed line (target SOC) appears to be set to about 90%, which roughly with fits the calculations above.
I didn't know about the dashed line being target SOC. I re-measured and got 305 miles. If that's non-AWD version, HOLY COW!
This is very interesting. If max charge is estimated to be around 305miles which makes it 4miles per kw... now with that math, you can assume the 60kw battery pack can achieve 240miles max charge 4x60=240
I remain astonished that Tesla dropped plain white paint as a choice and has not reinstated it. Basic white is one of the most popular automotive colors. Every car manufacturer offers it. Tesla should too.

Wrong, charging rate is not constant.Currently has 95 miles and is charging at 169 mi/hr with 50mins charge remaining

Range seems plenty, but 70kW @ 31% SOC is dissapointing...
Especially since the SC could easily deliver 300A, or 105kW.
Probably is sharing a charger with another car
That would surprise me... it would mean that Tesla has the least efficient EV in that size.I wouldn't be surprised if the 75 kWh M3 has ~290 miles of range.
