So last week I came out of the supermarket to find the car clock had reset at GMT + 2 and although the power consumption had been quite high for a couple of days (2-2.5miles/kWh) this, too had reset at a rate which would give a range of over 300miles at 100%.
This week for a longish journey I charged to 100% and the range was estimated at 301mi. After the journey- just under 100mi the range was at 120mi, which would fit with my normal expected usage but clearly not with the apparent ‘reset’.
No idea what’s going on here. Any thoughts, anyone?

No idea about the time change, but perhaps your Accumulated Total trip meter time counter exceeded 99 hours 59 minutes - when that happens that trip resets (because it can't show 100 hours - not enough digits on the display), which resets the GOM to pretty much the factory (WLTP) range guess. As you then drive the GOM catches up to reality.

Someone else recently commented about this and I had it too. I also had jumps of 10 mins (may have just been clock drift) and 24 hours.

So 3 people with the same symptoms around the same time sounds like a definite bug rather than a random glitch.

Due to some other very odd behaviour around that time, I have done a battery disconnect since then and had no further problems. I suspect the clock issue was a one off so won't need a battery disconnect to fix it.
