I wonder if this could affect GPS satellite lock performance by causing incorrect almanac lookups...

  GPS sends time in its data stream so doesnt need external clock, most car clocks use this now I believe though my nissan leaf is exactly 4 hours out to the microsecond so some programmers ignore timezones :-)

    But that is relative to the GPS epoch. I have a handheld Garmin that needed a firmware update after the last GPS week rollover because it didn't deal with the epoch change and displayed a date 20 years in the past. Anything built before 2019 could be prone to this.

    I am pretty sure they forgot to account for the probably 9600 baud serial rate the GPS transmits the exact time so it is sure in the milliseconds range if not half a second

    Not sure which year LEAF and which timezone, but I think you can override it on mine. (And the LEAF doesn’t do a lot of timezone crossing trips.) https://youtu.be/DHdlsS4jSo8&t=66 https://youtu.be/DHdlsS4jSo8&t=66
