Recently lost 4th Bar. See my signature. Located where its hot as heck! But I almost never charge when above 90 degrees and almost always charge at 3am. Only charge to 100% when I need to for a specific trip. I hope to upgrade to a new or newer Leaf, or find a 40kwh pack for an upgrade. Not sure...

Finally got around to doing something about this problem on my 2013. I'm in central Texas so mine dont have much rust anyway but I wanted to fix it. I lucked in to a easy preventative measure and I thought I would share. My wife keeps these peanuts in the house anyway and if you cut out the...

I have the exact same issue. My JB Weld gave out also. I have no clue how to get the handle apart though.

12k$ that seems pretty reasonable for basically a new car. I guess how much money he can get out of the carcass depends on how much effort he puts into parting out the individual pieces. It amazes me that used cells like your old ones are selling for more than $100 on ebay...

Thanks for sharing Stanton! How much did you have to bid for the car?

mux If I could give a "Thumbs UP" on here for your post, I would. I commend you for trying to fill the niche that I really so want someone to fill. That niche is to save what otherwise is such a great car. I personally love my leaf. My wife and I drive it in comfort for 90% of our everyday...

Mike will you let us know when you get the new pack installed and how you came out on the deal?

I didn’t know there was so many kinds! I used the original https://www.jbweld.com/collections/epoxy-adhesives/products/j-b-weld-twin-tube Mike

Yes thats correct. Mike

When I had this problem last year I took these pictures of the repair process I did using JB Weld. Used screwdriver to hold assembly out where it can be accessed. https://1drv.ms/u/s!AgDkM0Iv4V-sipwUM06VzK6ASCwS5g?e=bVC1X6 Apply JB Weld to seams so as to join the outer shell to the inner...

@gmc Mine had this problem too. What I did was use JB Weld. Some glue is visible if you hold your head directly above the handle and look down but overall I would say it doesnt look bad. When I stick my hand in to open the door I can feel its a little bumpy back there. I did this probably 9...

@hmmwv You are right this summer was brutal (we hit 114 degrees here - highest ever) But interestingly it did not seem to effect my battery stats. My 10 bar 04/2013 is now at 48.5 AHr but ever since I purchased it the amount of loss per month has slightly decreased. When I first got it (May...

I don't think that is normal. I charge my 2013 to 80% almost every night and it always ends up at either 79 or 80%.

@valem Congratulations on the EV! Yeah I think you will continue to love it. You are experiencing now the initial range anxiety but it will soon go away as you get a feel for what SOC it takes to get home. I live in a fairly small town and I pretty much know that I need 10% battery left to get...

Yes! Good work mux
