Great work on the spare tire job! :) My only question is, can someone confirm the 16" emergency spare from an Altima (135-90-16) will also work on the Leaf with 17" rims (in our case, a '16 SL)? I have tried searching the board and cannot find a definitive answer. I want to pick up a spare to...

Congrats on your purchase! If I recall, you got the blue '16 Leaf SL? If so, our car's identical twin. :) I agree about the experience. We knew more than the sales guys did - although he was very nice and zero pressure - but the sales manager was a complete asshat. We had a few hiccups with...

Yup, that's what our dealer did (Milton Nissan). No need to borrow or finance the money. A nice convenience at the very least. Still waiting for our incremental cheque from the government...

Nice! Great find. :D

Well, the margins are pretty slim, so there is not a lot of negotiating room, but I did get a few hundred dollars off, plus they threw in a few accessories (winter mats, bumper protector). There are other accessories available but those are the ones which appealed to us. I would strongly...

Hi Gabo, Sorry for the delay, I don't seem to have notification turned on for this thread (but I selected it now). I haven't received any update yet on the incentive, but here is the official policy...

I noticed the same, and I am surprised how little information I can find about this. My NissanConnect has not worked since March 2nd, but at least I could log into the site and it was only when I tried to get an update from the car that it failed; Now tonight, the whole server appears to be...

Hi gabo, We got the $8500 off at purchase of the Leaf SL on Feb 1, but have not received the retroactive cheque yet. From my interpretation, the Leaf SL has an MSRP of $40,548, so it should be eligible for $12,164, which would be the maximum 30%. So, we are expecting a cheque for $3,664. :)...

Hi Ken, I missed your earlier message in the thread from last week, sorry. Yes, I had heard about the iPhone text sending limitation and USB wiring requirement in advance, so it was not a surprise, just a confirmation. :-/. Hopefully Apple does something about that at some point, but I won't...

Well, we finally got to the dealer today, and they reset the TCU and we can now register the car with NissanConnect, so that's good. However, NissanEV app took a while to let us log in (maybe the servers had to sync or something?) and now that we can log in, it takes an extremely long time for...

We have the 2016 SL (30KWh :) ), which is the fully loaded model in Canada, with leather, LED, around view, etc. If this heating behaviour is 'normal' for Auto, that is a complete failure. I still don't believe this can be possible. We have just been too busy to get to the dealer yet, but I...

Well, include my wife and I in the club of having a '16 Leaf with connectivity issues. :? We took delivery of an SL on Feb 6, which was missing the SD card and took almost a week to get. We now have the card, but NissanConnect does not work at all with our iPhone 6 phones. We can receive...

Great news today, as we just bought a Leaf last week! It is apparently retroactive to Jan 1. 8-) http://www.citynews.ca/2016/02/10/ontario-offering-14000-in-incentives-to-people-who-buy-electric-cars/ Kevin

Well, after thinking about getting a Leaf for about a year and half, my wife and I finally replaced her Kia with a nice blue 2016 SL this week, and received the car today. Very exciting, and drives like a dream. :) We had a very nice sales guy, zero pressure, who never chased us, and even...

Thanks, and I agree, that is a great 'litmus test' to establish credibility. ;-) As a follow up, I sent the NissanNews link to the sales guy, and here is his reply; "Wow ! Thanks, Kevin! Boy do we look foolish. No mention of the 30 kwh battery in any of the specs! On the plus side, this is...
