Tesla Motors Club

Took delivery of my MY about 2 weeks ago. Been trying to figure out range info as what it looks to be is very disappointing info. This took me to a question of battery capacity as i was running scenarios at different Wi/Mile. While specs say 75 Kwh, many posts speak to "hidden capacity". I noticed on my Nikola app this AM that it is using 78 Kwh as capacity so I wrote an email to the developer. I was frankly a bit surprised when he (David) wrote back and explained how Nikola does the math based on data supplied by the car. He sent me a spreadsheet and walked me through the calcs. While he stopped short in saying the battery is 78 Kwh, the math indicates it is. I Google searched Model Y and 78 Kwh and no results. Does anyone else know anything about "actual" capacity being 78 Kwh?
