Yes, that's right.  I've only tested on my own 2015 model, but I believe
it is the same on others.

Thanks.

Looking at the table, all of the metrics on the first page are provided
by the OVMS module itself, so it seems a bit misleading to have boxes
implying that they are somehow vehicle-specific.  I would suggest that
these should either be in a separate table, or marked in a different way
(e.g. having a single check mark spanning all the vehicle columns).

The Leaf doesn't provide GPS position metrics, but perhaps there should
be a note that these are available by enabling the on-board modem GPS:

	v.p.altitude
	v.p.direction
	v.p.gpshdop
	v.p.gpslock
	v.p.gpsmode
	v.p.gpsspeed
	v.p.latitude
	v.p.longitude
	v.p.satcount

I'm not sure what happens if the modem GPS is enabled on a vehicle that
can provide its own position information.  Is one preferred over the
other, or do they fight over which one reported most recently?  Either
way, maybe it deserves a mention in the "GPS/GNSS Antenna" section?
