Yes, this 100%-full estimation of "D" Range will primarily be a reflection of your "recent" pre-charging driving conditions and style.
I just got a 117 mile "D-mode" estimate!
Since the battery will be "full", and (for now) essentially the same "Estimated Capacity" for almost all of us, this "reflection" of "recent" (how long a time period, several minutes?) driving economy is at least interesting.
To start, my highest-to-date is 117 "D-mode" miles, reported after my 100% charge last night. I had driven home about 10 miles, over some hills, but mostly a gentle downhill grade, going down perhaps 800 or 1000 feet, and finally climbing about 100 feet just in the last 3 or 4 blocks.
I was surprised to see the 117 (relatively high) estimate after "gunning it" for a block with 4 occupants, and driving down a winding road into a "canyon" and back up as I "demonstrated" Maple's capabilities.
But, since the LEAF "quickly" forgets such "aggressive" episodes, I realized that Maple was just remembering the sweeter, more gentle "glide" back home. What a jewel to be so forgiving!
