My only comment is that I would be surprised if it uses more than several minutes of driving history (rather than potentially 5 charge cycles) to update the display. My drive in to work is a net loss of ~800' over 10.5 miles. Many times I will start out with an estimated range of 40-43 miles. By time I get to work, the estimated range remaining is often in the upper 40s, or pegged at 50. On my way home the estimated range drops precipitously, especially in the last 3 miles where I go up the steepest part of the drive. In my ten mile trip home, the estimated range will often go down by nearly 30 miles, thus I conclude the update to the range is looking at the most recent very high kWh/mi needed to climb the hill home and updating accordingly.
In the end the overall range that was reported in the AM (about 40) is usually pretty close to what I observe (about 38-40 miles if I do not recharge). Of course this may be an early 2011MY programming that was smoothed out in later models? Mine has a low 004xx VIN #.
