That's part of my point. kWh isn't very useful to most people. The problem is that 'miles left' is an abstraction from kWh which is more helpful but less accurate.
Now people are complaining that it's not accurate, which it was never going to be in the first place. It's a UX problem. They should probably just change to a percentage based readout with a "Estimated Miles Remaining" option for those that want it.
