I’d think they’d want to distinguish these on the gauge to help people not get confused. “rmi”, “imi”, “lmi”
If they all say “mi” it’d be confusing. I’m guessing reducing options and confusion is why the 3 has only “mi” and it means rated all the time. At least you can still see the energy app guess-o-meter style number if you really want to.
I like that the battery gauge is an energy gauge, and not a guess at range. I know it always means the same thing. If I drive at an exact consumption I will see it tick down exactly as I expect. Ideal and rated are the same, but with two different #’s. It would perhaps be interesting if they let you choose a number
... or use the lifetime consumption which changes very slowly, but again, I’d think these need to have an asterisk or extra letter next to the “mi” on the dash.
