Explanation regarding point 3 and how you still can get miles in widgets, a simple workaround but may not solve the main issue:I have both the app and widget and both show only in Kms. So that is not a workaround.
Just for the benefit of forum users I am listing the issue and workaround: This is just for the UK and Ireland forum users
1) Check whether you have the new version of App 4.4.1.824? (iPhone users) and the Android (not sure the version number)
2) Check your language/Region setting is set as UK - if it is set as US the region then you will see the odometer and mileage in miles. This is the workaround @Simonix and others are following. However, there are reports that this changes some of the other measures like temperature in F and price in $ etc., So set according to your needs - if you have to calculate mileage everyday in a lease car etc., better to set in US as the region to avoid dividing by 1.6 all the time.
3) Some report that their widget are in miles but not the app. But this is not the case for others.
4) If you say you still have this in miles - please check the above and then let us know. It is a software issue and affect everyone if you update to the latest version.
5) I think you can not update and use the old version. As far as I know it is possible in iOS, not sure of Android. Please add your clarification whether that can be done in android phones.
6) This is a software problem and Tesla will update this - not sure who created this but looks like the teenage developers aren't well travelled enough to know that UK still uses miles not Kms as in Europe.
7) This is nothing to do with other issues like automatic wipers and headlights or FSD. They are part of the AI theme and some of the issues we face are little annoying but that is part of the wider AI philosophy and it is necessary for Tesla to stick with that philosophy rather than reverting to the $1 radar to control the wipers and headlights even though they are tried and tested. Fortunately or unfortunately depending on your views when you buy Tesla you also buy Elon's vision of the futuristic cars and that comes with the price and compromises here and now. Tesla is not just a car manufacturer like a BMW, Merc or Audi who just sells practical cars.
8) Also users are divided between using miles/kms/percentage. We can use percentage in the app but the odometer readings are still in Kms and people like us need the odometer readings every now and then and that won't be solved by keeping the battery in percentage.
I hope I've covered most of the points,
Indeed!if you are reading this Tesla, get your act together. Do the whole job, not half
What is the widget that is mentioned in numerous posts ?How do you make the widget show range instead of charge?
It only seems to show charge for me regardless of what I have displayed in the app, have I missed something?

I'm surprised it's not in fractions!you should all be using percent anyway
You go to the car and change that to range in the display screen instead of percentage. Come back and delete your widget and now add it again. It will be in percentage but press the number it will change to miles. If not open your app and change that to range it will be in kms and now press the widget battery icon, voila it is in miles.How do you make the widget show range instead of charge?

Widgets are embedded in mobile platforms and so the new update of app did not affect the widget. But widgets can only show what is displayed in the car. It wasn’t Tesla’s fault. The app is Teslas fault.Wow, so simple I can't imagine how I missed it.
Gotta love Tesla logic.

It is provided by Tesla but generally inbuilt or linked to iOS updates not from the app store downloads when Tesla updates its app.The Tesla widget is provided by the Tesla app, it's not embedded in iOS. The widget is most definitely Tesla's fault.
The temperature of the beer is only important for the first 10 pints, thereafter, it seems to be irrelevantAlso, the measurement of beer is unimportant as long as it’s plentiful! (I was going to add cold but I don’t believe that’s a requirement on your side of the bay)
I’ll join in the moan if that’s OK with you… the “auto” wipers and lights are “useless” (compared to pretty much any other car standards)Whilst I am having a moan, the auto wipers and auto dip headlights are useless compared to the BMW equivalents, which work just fine. Part of the same issue, poorly developed software.
But yoU’ve got a Tesla not a bog standard German copycat ones that’s been sold as cars!I’ll join in the moan if that’s OK with you… the “auto” wipers and lights are “useless” (compared to pretty much any other car standards)
I think the point being made here is that, on a car that gets so much right, it's a shame that it falls down in areas where it is easy to get things right and where others have been getting them right for some time. In other words, these are things that work just fine using existing technology, so why not use it?But yoU’ve got a Tesla not a bog standard German copycat ones that’s been sold as cars!
The analogy I would use is Steve jobs could have used a scroll wheel like blackberry or a stylus like treo but he went for using our fingers which wasn’t tried and tested and introduced lots of errors. Now where are those styluses and scroll wheels!I think the point being made here is that, on a car that gets so much right, it's a shame that it falls down in areas where it is easy to get things right and where others have been getting them right for some time.
