[Mark Webb-Johnson]

Pretty good:

The original estimate, at 07:09 was 38 minutes = 07:47. Charge reached the desired mileage sometime between 07:49 and 07:59, so we were probably within 5 minutes.

Interestingly, the revised estimates during the charge were not too bad either (although that wasn't how Tom's algorithm was designed at all).

Code is now in github for any Tesla Roadster owners who wants to play. Version identifies itself as 2.3.3.

Regards, Mark.
