    2012 LEAF won't charge.

    You're probably right. I am now at the point where I think I will get the diagnosis and quote and call Nissan and see if they are willing to offer any goodwill. I will keep the community posted.

    2012 LEAF won't charge.

    Ok, question for the gallery. I have the factory service manual for the 2012. I am also a mechanical engineer by training and an excellent ice mechanic having owned and worked on everything from Mustangs to Panteras to Porsches. If you were in my shoes would you: a) Go ahead and replace the...

    2012 LEAF won't charge.

    Yes, Chademo worked. I then moved over to the Level 2 co-located with the Chademo - no go. this is an EV-Go station. Also, I got the car symbol with the exclamation point and the yellow triangle. When I got home I cleared the codes and tried again with my Panasonic. Same result and the codes...

    2012 LEAF won't charge.

    Thanks for the reply. I'm going to go to a public charging station this morning to try and get a charge. Hopefully the Chademo still works. There are also J1772 chargers there as well, so I will give that a try. I'll post a follow up.

    Yikes, degradation is looking bad (2018 Leaf)

    Ancient history. Nissan was wrong about the early batteries, and being wrong happens to lots of companies. Nissan is not unique in this. Look at Tesla's track record - full self-driving, battery swapping, failed drive units, broken control arms, late deliveries - the list goes on. Essentially...

    Here you go bagholders. Get out while you can. A dilutive capital raise has to happen. Why continue to take this risk? Because you believe in the mission? You can believe in the mission without leaving yourself in the poorhouse. Trust me, your pittance isn't going to make a difference in this...

    Official Tesla Model 3 thread

    Not true. No way they let someone not trained in the product near a prospective customer as a matter of practice. I can say this as a Porsche owner and PCA member since 2009. Tesla on the other hand = amateur hour. But believe what you want to believe. Kool-aid drinkers always do. Bottom line...

    I would gladly volunteer to deliver cars for Porsche and I am pretty sure they would tell me to go to hell.

    Can we stop pretending that even if Tesla shows a "profit" on paper that they are actually profitable. What profitable company has to have "volunteers" help deliver product because they haven't invested in the resources to actually get their product to market. Let's be honest here, the reason...

    Leaf Price / Discount discussion thread

    Wow, aren't you a ray of sunshine welcoming a newcomer. Now, for Billsfan's original question. September and October are both good months to buy a car in my opinion. There are a lot of distractions (school, sports) and uncertainty around elections. And, as Lefiie says, wait until the end of the...

    National Drive Electric Week Event "No TMS 2019"

    Can't find the link, but I'm pretty sure Insideevs confirmed TMS. I'm still trying to get info out of my contact, but as I mentioned it's a friend of a friend situation.
