That's a rather personal question...DaveinOlyWA said:... how long is it?

I suspect my odometer was actually wrong from delivery, understated mileage by the same 2.5 % as I have seen since the update, and that I just never noticed this relatively small discrepancy.
This could also explain the similar (identical?) 2.5% discrepancy between “dash” and “screen” miles/kWh, which have remained the same on my car, both before and after the update.
Meaning the higher screen number (4.4 m/kWh screen, 4.3 m/kWh dash, on my car since delivery) rather than the dash, may be correct.

been there, done that. i immediately compared the odometer measurements against two GPS systems and the two Priuses i had and there was virtually no difference between them. i am pretty sure, car manufacturers are under pretty strict guidelines for accuracy of the odometer. they do have "allowances for error" on the speedometer but odometer needs to be relatively accurate.
I rechecked 2 other recent drives of 85-105 miles and each time CW has erred, under-reporting distance traveled, as compared with both my odometer and Google Maps, by 2.5%, +/- 0.1%.

JohnOver said:I'm at Santa Cruz Nissan (where I bought my LEAF) getting my 6-month checkup. They were not going to do the firmware update if I didn't ask about it. When the tech did a search, all he found was the TSB that was about Carwings not communicating at all.

OK. That gets a Laughing Out Loud! Needed the actual words for effect (and not the LOL acronym).JohnOver said:"There's some secret Ninja **** they don't want to get out." No kidding...
TomT said:No, as with many TSBs, it is on an as-needed basis... It actually is only intended to correct a fairly rare failure to connect problem with the TCU/Telematics and anything else is a side affect and not part of the publicized bulletin campaign. Thus, you will not automatically get it done when the car is brought in as it is not a recall (like with the AC problem).
