Thanks, All, for your responses. As we're not smartphone users, and the state of FM leaves much to be desired from a content perspective (outside of public radio), Satellite Radio is a bit of a novelty for us. Traffic has come in handy, too -- so while I certainly appreciate the varying...

Hey Everyone... To preface, I've done searches for this topic and there isn't really anything current that I found, so I wanted to post a new thread asking, simply, what are YOU paying for your Sirius XM subscription with NAVtraffic? This isn't asking about features or values, but simply a...

I think the charging port locking function on '13 models (when in AUTO mode) solves this problem. When the car is completely charged, the charger is unlocked. I've used this at a few public stations (although nobody has unplugged me yet). But, maybe a note on the windshield would be a courteous...

How did your tint experience go? Thinking about it for our '13 Gray Metallic. Would you mind sharing the cost? I'm in San Francisco... Thanks in advance, -greg

I agree, Tony's chart is really well done. It lives in our glove box as we get used to our new '13 LEAF SL. We've been intrigued by the *actual* range in our real world hilly urban environment of San Francisco. Yesterday, we drove 22 miles each way from San Francisco to Lafayette. Temperature...

Hey there, I've been reading up on the 80% versus 100% charge strategy with intrigue. Once we get used to our car and what the range is in real terms for the hilly / traffic that is Bay Area driving, I will likely employ the 80% rule. Also, I'm not terribly worried about battery degradation in...

Hey there, thank you for this advice -- I looked at that option after reading about it elsewhere on the forum, and while intrigued, steered clear on account of the fact the original charger must be included with the vehicle upon expiry of lease. I figured it a safer long-term investment to...

We picked up our Metallic Gray SL w/Premium Pkg 1 (no Bose / Around-view, but everything else) from Nissan / Infiniti of San Francisco three days ago. 3,000 drive-off, 191.00/mo for 23 months / 12k miles per year. To say we're enjoying this car would be a gross understatement! While we don't...

Hey mbender, Thanks for the heads-up on plugshare... Just signed up, and also for Blink in addition to Chargepoint. I have listed, tentatively, my L2 station for use with plugshare, but will have to see how that all goes. Anyhow, I appreciate the welcome and information, everyone! -greg

Interesting, on the 13k discount for RAV4 EVs. When I talked to the local Toyota dealership, they indicated that A) there was a waiting list and B) no incentives outside of the normal fed/state/local tax credits. Like with the Volt, and many other products and services here in the San Francisco...

Hello, everyone. I just wanted to introduce myself here. We took delivery of our '13 LEAF SL in Metallic Slate this afternoon, and couldn't be happier with the decision. In March, we turned on the 3.6 kW solar array on our roof, and tomorrow, I'm posting for sale our '12 Subaru Forester (great...
