    Hello,

    I am first time owner of Prius plugin 2014. Just bought it Dec 16 from private seller
    The seller seemed nice and it looked like he took good care of the car

    Checked the settings, and see Date of Apr 2014.
    Monthly fuel consumption shows data for Apr, and Driving history also seems off - Just 96 miles on EV
    The first owner mentioned he took good care of it, charged it at work, and was getting 11ish miles on EV

    I expected to see current consumption and driving history matching that
    Why is this not visible in the dashboard IMG_0669.JPG IMG_0670.JPG IMG_0671.JPG

    Am i missing some obvious setting ?
    Or
    Should I be worried about tampering of onboard computer

    Sounds like the past owner may have disconnected the battery very recently.

    congrats and welcome!

    the ev driving ratio can be reset, so who knows? what does evdr1 show?

    not sure about the settings screen, how many miles on her?

    Your profile photo: So, you stopped at exactly 60,000 miles at exactly 12:00 with exactly 2:1 EV:ICE, and took the photo? Or, are you just good with Photoshop? ;-)

    your last screen shot is evdr2 or electric vehicle driving ratio 2. if you hold the button, it will switch to evdr1. just like trip a and, you have two of each. do you have an o/m?

    Based on your first picture, I think the previous owner has replaced the 12V battery and never set the clock.
    Based on the next two pictures, I'd say that the previous owner was not telling the truth about how much he plugged in or else he almost never went to work. I'd expect something like this:
