I tried to do a search for this topic but came up empty. We bought a 2018 LEAF S in June (last new one in the state... or so said the dealer) and we have really enjoyed the car. One weird issue is it seems like the LEAF is not traveling at the speed shown on the speedometer. Here in AZ people drive crazy on the freeways anyways, but even with cruise set at 75 MPH cars are flying by us more than usual. Using GPS based speed apps on the phone while driving shows about 4 MPH less than the car states, obviously not the most accurate measure but still. Even at low speeds it appears to be an issue. We have a radar sign on a street near our home. Also not the most accurate I realize. But in our other vehicles the stated speed is always within 1 MPH of what the car shows. But with cruise set at 35 in the LEAF, the sign shows 32 or even 31 MPH every time.
Just wondering if this is a well known issues or just a weird quirk with our particular LEAF. I need to take it the dealer to check out the software and/or speedometer but it is such a hassle. Our local dealer says they always need the car for at least two hours because they have only one LEAF "expert" and he may be working on other LEAFs.
