    Ok guys so finally I got my car back from the dealership yesterday and they said the same thing,they could not find anything wrong with it. They could not fix anything if they dont see any problem with it. I argued with them to no avail. I did something different this time. I used up all the EV miles that magically appeared on my way home yesterday and when I started my car first thing this morning, miraculously, the car started fine! I do not know what was wrong with it! no extra EV miles popped out! I will observe my car for a week.hopefully the problem does not come back.

    I was thinking they could investigate and find out the problem with the magic miles present.it is really weird that my car is working fine after using up all of the EV.

    The 8 miles did not show up anymore and i have no more trouble starting the car.is it possible the battery was overcharged thus showing more EV after everything was used up?

    i don't think so. sounds more like a software bug, and you'll probably never see it again.
