The energy graph is consistently lower than the trip display - so it may be the HVAC/accessories are reported on the trip display but not the energy graph (which may only be energy applied to the motor). It makes sense the trip display would record everything, because it's also showing the total power used since last charge.
They should use the same algorithm for both - because managing the HVAC system power does have an impact on energy consumption.
But this still doesn't explain why the energy consumption in the trip display starts out over 1000 Wh/mi when driving after unplugging, and then takes several miles to reach a stable number. It's almost as if the average is including the energy used while the car was being charged - and applies that to the first sample being used for calculating the average - and then it takes quite a while to over come that large spike in energy usage.

My hypothesis is that the consumption is averaged over some time span before the display changes. If you start the car towards the end of the display cycle, it will use just that number but count it as if it was the entire period. This will cause the start up energy use to have higher weighting than would normally be the case. I've never had it go to 1000, but a couple of times I did see 800. Usually it's 300 to 400.

Awesome. Never understood how someone just happens to find things like this given the sequence described, nice work
Have to try this! I suspect a tip-off from an insider

You are so right.
But some product designers want to limit what the 'dumb' users can do. Same for the governments, limiting our freedom.

JoshG, one you might want to add to the interior storage section as I don't think I've seen it here, and many people may not realize it:
You can store the parcel shelf and rear footwell covers in the frunk. They fit longways (front to back).

Forgive me for my lack of understanding, but what does "model ##'s" mean? And once you change the screen to the pic of the Tesla employees, how do you go back to the default screen?

Not much of a story; SW devs often embed Easter Eggs in the About screen. It seemed intuitive to hold down on the ##'s, it was the first place I tried.
If I had any inside contacts or knowledge of the SW, that "40" would be a "60" instead.

I've seen other posts on the dimensions of the extra space in the bonnet / frunk related to a stroller, but figured that was more pure chance than much else that the stroller fit so nicely.
However, given how thought-out the dimensions of the car seem, the size and shape of that box area has always left me wondering. Why the hell is it that width and depth, or is it simply a design artifact. While this is also more likely a result of pure chance than plan, I did discover it is perfectly sized for a pizza box! I see that as a plausible reason for the approximate size... though who knows.

Easy on the go pedal because the frunk net doesn't hold the cheese in place during maximum launch ;-)

That rectangular hole in the back of the frunk is called the "microwave" and, IIRC, its original purpose was to hold a removable small battery pack for additional range (but that was scrapped due to cost, weight, and complexity).
