I’ve looked through the readily accessible screens several times and have yet to find this information. Obviously I’m missing something quite “simple” and I suppose I really should know my current battery capacity and monitor it even though it "seems" to be giving me the original range and charging performance.
Thanks and Cheers

Carl - here's what I did. I reset one of my trip odometers (I do this every Monday anyway, after recording the data from the previous week). Then, I drove to work and back. I still had about 15 miles range remaining. So, I parked the car in the garage, rolled the windows down, and turned the heater up to full blast. I left the car "running" in the garage while I had dinner in the house. When I was done, the car showed 1 mile remaining. At 0 miles remaining, I noticed the heater stopped blowing hot, and the energy useage screen showed that the Climate control was no longer using power. The car showed that it had consumed 17.1 kWh. So, I figured this was the max capacity that the battery had (maybe an extra tenth or two remaining, but not worth it to me to go any further).
For average consumption, I track my electrical consumption on a weekly basis using the trip odometers.
