Great, the reason for asking about BT Audio is that it appears that the USB connection is by the shifter, not hidden the armrest as it is in both my G37 and our Altima (turing in for the Leaf). I like leaving an old iPod hooked up but would not do so if it had to be in plain sight by the...

Thanks for the reply guys. Reddy, I just added my location, Buffalo, NY :) I've only seen one or two Leaf's on the road since they came out so I'll be a good steward for the EV movement around these parts. My commute will be no more than 30 miles a day....so it will be just fine. My G37 is...

Hey Guys, New 2014 Leaf SL being delivered to me in a few days (was going to road trip it home but the weather is just too risky this winter and don't want to ruin a Saturday). Long time lurker, but I have posted some questions in the past. Got a few questions now of things that I'm still...

Thanks for the helpful comments guys! I did contact both Nissan dealers already and they are supportive. I need to find out about Eaton's charger and I need to get my charge point keys for Dunkirk/Fredonia. Mike S.

I would add some juice during my 70 mile leg, problem though is that there are no chargers anywhere north of Pittsburgh. Checked plugshare, etc, There is one house with a dryer plug but that would require me buying an extra cord, etc. I have an offer for the dealer to free ship the car to...

The car might be cold soaking, but Eaton has a DCQC north of Pitt, was going to spend the night and leave at 8AM on Saturday. I could drive around town then hit up Eaton and charge it up. If connected long enough, with the DCQC get me up to 100%? I know it dramatically slows after...

Thanks for the advice, I'm going from Pittsburgh, PA to Buffalo, NY, Via Erie, PA. Starting in Pitt, I'll have a 50 mile trip to the 1st Nissan Dealer, then a 70 mile trip the next Nissan Dealer, then 50 Miles to a town (Dunkirk/Fredonia, NY) half way between Erie and Buffalo, then 50 from...

Buying a leaf, 2013 SL. Might be road tripping it back! Longest leg will be 70 miles. If I keep it at 55, no climate, think i can make 70 miles WITHOUT the heater on. Daytime driving (no headlights), but its forecast to be cold....25ish! Mike S. More on my purchase and planned road trip soon.

Nissan delivers 1,142 Leafs in May! http://www.nissannews.com/pressrelease/2541/1/nissan-north-america-reports-may-sales

This is a lawyer thing. My Infiniti G37 makes me click OK when I click the map icon on my nav...but only once per trip.

This is no surprise....since production was ramping up and cars have started making it to the US. So much for all those "news blogs" reporting "sales slipping" because they dropped from 80 some cares to 60 some cars between Jan and February. I'm sure these same pessimistic sites won't have a...

I agree with muus anger. I've just being reply to blogs (ie...fighting over the internet which is stupid) about a story that "Leaf and Volt sales are lackluster". Are you kidding me. I can't even buy one yet. They cranking them out as fast as they can. The tone of the article was how there was...

I was hoping for more, but its just because of where they are diverting the cars too. I'm sure March numbers will be higher. I think the plant is reaching near full capacity. I'd bet there are 200 cars delivered in March...maybe more.

I'd bet money on the ABS system. My 09 Infiniti G37 does something simmilar. Its an ABS self-test. My Altima did it too. Notice that it only happens after starting the car and pulling away.
