I have ran out of juice on two occasions. first time was on purpose so I could see what would happen. I just drove around the neighborhood, then when it went to "turtle" I just drove around the block. Luckily it died just one house away from home and my neighbor who was watching me at awe helped...

Hello Des Moines!!! I live up here in Ankeny (Just north of town), and going on 2 years with my black 2013 LEAF! I also have a 16 mile commute to/from work, and the Leaf is just perfect for what I use it for. I love to talking to others who have a Leaf as well. I live about 3 blocks from the...

Thank you for asking the question. I would like to know as well!

No, they are not trying to kill EV's. It is simply the Saudi's putting a revenue crunch on the shale producers here in North America. SA view recent activity as a full out assault on their way of life, and clearly revenue driven. They can afford to put a squeeze on for a couple years. But the...

Funny, the exact same thing happened to me earlier today at lunch. I pre-headed and when I got to the car, it was totally fogged over. However, if I remember from last fall, the colder it gets, the less fog I was getting inside when pre-heated. Really comes down to whatever the humidity is. The...

Well, all good questions. I think it depends where you are located. Here in the Des Moines area I chose to log-on to the driver app when I am downtown, or on the way home. I work in the west part of the city, and generally can pick-up a ride for someone at one of the area hotels that need a ride...

Greetings, Back in June I signed up with Uber to do a little driving now and then. So far it has worked out great! I sign-on to the Uber driver app about 4-5 times a week, and end up with deposits of $150-200 per-week. Great way to pay for the lease, and of course I never purchase gas. Plus...

Thanks!! It was just the reminder to rotate the tires, and I found the setting to change it. Thanks all!

I am positive this issue has been answered on here before, but I just cant find it anywhere. I just had my tires rotated today, but the tire warning indicator is still coming on when I start the LEAF. Is there a way to turn it off, or reset for the next time a rotation is needed? Thanks!

OH SNAP! Well, the forecast is for us to be at -15 in the morning, so hope mine starts!!!!!

Thank you so much. Temps will be in the 40's while sleeping in the garage. Cheers!

Hello LEAF'ers! We are leaving town for a week and driving 600 miles away, so we will be forced to use the old gas hog ICE for the trip! I will be leaving my LEAF for the first time without any new charging in the garage while I am gone. My question is this....how much charge should I leave...

I use my steering wheel heat every morning. And yes, it heats up fast...then goes away after a few min. But it does cycle on and off as you drive. I have noticed at times it will automatically shut off after a certain amount of time.

I recon as such...just funny when it dings....and yes, the "snowflake" pops up as well! I think we are just a little cynical here in central Iowa, where basically its below 38 degrees from Thanksgiving till St. Paddy's Day anyway!!! Happy LEAF'ing Day!!! :P

I am soooooooooo happy the folks at Nissan Engineering provides an indicator to let me know when the temp outside is at or below 38 degrees!!! :lol: In reality.....REALLY? We are not wise enough to figure this out? And why 38 degrees??? Why not 32, or 0, or any other temp. than 38 degrees...
