All that counts is how many miles you can actually drive. The display shows rated range, which means with a full battery it will show the EPA rated range. It is no way a "real" range.
So for me less than 310 because it is just too much fun to troll legacy gas cars at each light that turns green.

I bet it tastes a little frunky!
There is no such thing as "real range". There is what the EPA tests measure, there is what you get in summer, there is what I get in winter. All different. EPA range is useful (to the extent it is) for comparing with other cars when making a buying decision. Your personal range (for each set of conditions) is useful to you for determining how far you can actually drive between charges. Some mythical 'real' range (determined who knows how) isn't useful to anyone.
Thank you kindly.
Blond question from a European: there is no License number on the plate and likely no plate on the front either although the car looks like to be on an ordinary street and not on a Factory ground.
So, where is the License number visible?
Depends on the state.
Most license plates are delivered after car registration is completed (can take a while). During that period, some states will issue a cardboard temp plate, paper registration on the windshield, dealer plate, etc.
But, if stopped, you can still provide temp registration papers.

In this case, it is not for that reason.
The car is in Minnesota, it looks like one that was brought into the state over a month ago.
In MN, you get a small paper "temporary registration" which is normally taped to the inside of the back window.
Typically these are good for 2 or 3 weeks. However, MN recently switched to a new system for registrations. This has backed them up, so many are going on 2 months with temp tags.
California has talked about doing away with the temporary registration in the front windshield as the only thing needed because of problems with people driving new (plateless cars) through toll bridges and red lights and the cameras can't track down the owner. So they may switch to requiring a temporary plate of some kind that is required on the car when you first pick it up.

Sorry to derail the picture thread but had to ask...
Does the math/pricing on this seem off in the 'As Configured' section to anyone else? Or am I just missing something?
Model 3: $36,000 (Isn't base model 3 $35K?)
Long-Range Battery: $9,000
Premium Upgrades: $5,000
Silver Metallic: $1,000
18" Wheels: Included
Enhanced Autopilot: $5,000
Totals up to $56,000
Then at the bottom of that box it shows 'Destination and Regulatory Doc Fee $1,000? (Its a little blurry but I think its $1K)
So shouldn't the 'Total Vehicle Price' be $56K + $1K Dest & Doc = $57,000? (It lists it as $56,000)
