But that app wouldn't work for the Tesla, so I decided to keep a log. To make it easier, I just take periodic photos of the dash with the energy use stats displayed - at the end of each month, at the start and end of supercharging, and at the start and end of any trips. I also reset one of the trip meters each month, and the other each year. I then update a spreadsheet with the logs on it about once a month.

It's been helpful to me to learn about the car -- everything is new compared to what we grew up with...
i'd be happy if GM relented, and saw the value in having a Cadillac equivalent that is more on par with the Tesla.
