baustin said:The size of the tires on the vehicle can affect this. I have not checked my Leaf to see if it is correct, but I see this on my truck. I installed tires that are one size larger than the truck was shipped with. When the speedometer shows 65mph, the GPS display shows I am going 68mph.
If the Leafs are all calibrated for the largest size tire option available for the car, but it ships with a smaller size, I believe that would result in the discrepancy being reported.

PianoAl said:So, no way to calibrate it in my 2016 LEAF Model S?
TomT said:Nope, the speedo on my 2017 Volt is dead on... Our 2013 CUV is also dead on... Nissan is simply lazy or playing a game...

I think the same but was told differently by Nissan. I haven't done any actual mileage tests vs. mapped distance type experiments.NeilBlanchard said:I think that both the speedometer and the odometer are tied together. So, if one is off, then they both are.
I noticed that a software update mostly corrected for the 16" wheels on our Leaf S vs the 17" on the SV / SL models.
