Being new on this site, I would like to see a glossary of the acronyms that are used here. I didn’t see a thread to reference it. Thanks

After your 10th post, you earn a free acronym decoder ring. ?

Seriously, that would be useful to a lot of new members.

KwH = Kilowatt Hours
kWh - kilowatt hours

(kilo and hour being lowercase because they are generic, but Watt being capitalized because that unit is based on a person's name, like Joule and Newton. But not ampere. Poor Andre-Marie. :( .)

EDIT: Oh wait, I'm wrong! It is capital A for Andre-Marie Ampere! Hooray!

What are the trim abbreviations?
R1 - California Route 1
GTPE - GT trim, performance edition?
…people seem to write out Select and Premium, or do they?

Also
SR, ER - standard & extended range
4x - AWD

ADM - additional dealer markup over MSRP
ABRP - a better route planner
TCIFU - this car is freaking unbelievable, used as either a compliment or an insult. Ok I made that up.
