I just asked the Horses mouth and will see what comes of that and hopefully it will not be in kind with what the esoteric group here many times appears to be dishing out from the other end. The battery in my 2014 is not loosing bars nor is Leaf Spy showing any real drastic drop so still being...

A little over 8K in Phoenix Arizona would be for a 34,000 mile car from a dealer in good condition which would be 11 bars and no accidents. 8K for 9 bars along with an accident is too much.

I suppose I am missing something here, Months ago users reported that dealers have been willing and able to install the 30 kWh packs into 2015 and older cars at about the same time that Nissan stopped putting them in the new S models. For the 2017 model year we can see this has continued as...

Mine has the door however when the factory service tech came he simply pulled the machine away from the wall tipped it back and reached up from underneath and was done checking if that was the problem in a flash. Power surge had blown one of the many fuses epoxied into the $250 Main Board so it...

Whats the asking price? Around here a 2013SL with that many miles on it and no accidents is going to be around $6,000 so one would expect an accident car to be at least $1,000 to $2,000 less. Even with no reported structural damage you may still find the rear is out of alignment and the car...

Were you driving in Econo Mode or Regular Drive. In Econo Mode the throttle is greatly muted. Gauges and such are all LED and designed for low power consumption as is the radio so there are tradeoffs there. The radio is not a crazy 400Watt mega system however it is better than what you get in...

There is a warning in the owners manual that keeping the fobs near to a device that transmitts radio signals such as your cell phone will greatly reduce the life of the battery so if you keep your fob in the same pocket as your cell phone or place them together on your desk or in a drawer then...

I was fortunate that when my boss checked out Charge Point and the incentives, pluses on his global LEEDS and Carbon Footprint scores, etc he found it put the company in a better position to compete globally to install a few Charge Point pedestals in the office parking garage and offer them to...

I live in South Florida where roadway temps are over 100 degrees much of the year and have a late 2014S which while closing in on 20,000 miles the dash and LeafSpy agree I still have a strong 12 bars on the battery. In our heat I greatly prefer the cloth in the S to the leather and the S still...

A lot of stuff here but the EPA Sticker on the window still should have said something like 74 miles average city driving where there is the possibility of regenerative braking and the owners manual is pretty clear about reduced range with straight highway driving. The Leaf to me has always...

I just did mine and while it was not that dusty there were mold spores on it. I used the $7 filter from Oreilly and it popped in just fine being made of some kind of accordion pleated Dacron or Polyester material. Still better then dealing with the old GM Tornado where to service the heater...

I have the 2014 S here in Tropical Tampa Bay Florida and the battery is still showing 12 bars and giving me about 100 miles range while the 2011 to 2013 models around here with close to 20,000 miles on them are usually down to 9 or 10 bars so I would say the new battery does make quite a...

I find the heated seats work just fine for me and use much less power than the dash heat. Even set on low they are enough to drive in shirtsleeves even when the outside temps are just above freezing and have little impact on range. I drive a 2014 S.

Or even better than putting in your own 240 volt charger do what I did and convince your employer to put them in at work at no charge to the employees to improve the companies LEEDS Scores on the Global Market. Carbon footprints and these scores can sometimes make or break getting awarded...

I was glad when someone pointed out that the 124 equivalent mpg claims were not 100% accurate and encouraged me to do the math as it only takes a few very brief moments in a spreadsheet. I was able to make an informed decision because of that and not just an emotional one based on hype. Maybe...
