Alright, the Ukrainian leaf modder on YouTube:

Found that if you take a 40kwh battery and put 24kwh wiring, sensors and BMS on the 40kwh pack and put that pack back into a gen 1 leaf, reset it, the BMS can't figure out how much capacity the battery has, displays 24KwH range but goes into turtle after 217 km. In theory he should have been able to go at least another 40 km before going into turtle.
So I would say it's was fairly a successful test.
Maybe if it was driven for a while the car might relearn the extra range, but isn't going to show the extra kwh or ah.
