A Most Peculiar Test Drive

I'm also curious whether something like raw charge percentage is shown to the user directly, or whether it is made more familiar like a bar graph or something.

This would probably be less useful than the range, because it follows an exponential function correlated to temperature and battery condition. You could take the log of it, and add a factor for the temperature, and then... you'd have the range indicator they have now.

Yeah, it looks like the basic display is range plus a basic bar graph. So when Musk is quoting percentages, that's not what the driver sees.
