I got nothing with my Nissan Leaf lease. No pens, t-shirt, notebooks, bag, water bottle, zero emission decals, etc. Yeah, the side of my Leaf is clean...nothing about zero emissions even. I didn't even get a license plate frame. Oh well, maybe I'll return it. It's a little small anyway. I...

All good things must come to an end. It feels like it was just yesterday that I was here doing research and talking to folks about pricing, etc. Well, my 2 year Nissan Leaf lease is up next week so the car is going back to the dealership. It's been awesome. Quick question for those who...

lol, i would go to a used tire place and put on some tires with about 1/2 tread remaining right before returning the car at lease end...

the only issue with surveys is that when it's a rating of 1-10, it seems like a 9 means they did a very good job. salespeople always say that it's binary...10 is acceptable and 9 and below mean poor service. i always give all 10s for the sales guys. i usually give low scores to the finance...

I didn't read every follow-up post and it does sound like a crappy system but I will say that my purchase experience was much more easier than what you wrote for my dealer. I emailed him the initial inquiry. I don't like talking on the phone so I prefer email communication. He sent me some...

I have leased 3 cars so far and returned 2 of them. 1 car was a BMW and 1 minivan was a Chrysler Town & Country. In general, this is my advice: 1) Return the car at the end of the day when the sun is set. If it's dark, it's harder to see imperfections with just the street lamps and...

lol, yeah i know. i tried but it wasn't as easy as making a phone call to make sure things were ready. it's actually a little more like going to a big park to pick up a bbq but when you get there, there is a line of cars about 20-30 cars deep all waiting to pick up bbqs. there aren't really...

B is for regen mode...letting go of the gas is basically like putting on the brakes to regen. battery % is what I always have my dashboard set to. i have a 2013.

I can get by with L1 charging. I have a shared charger available at work so I rarely need to charge at home anyway (usually just on weekends). It turned out that my garage had a 240v 20amp outlet already installed in there by the previous owner so I just did an EVSE upgrade on my charger and...

I have not turtled yet. I don't know if I can be that lucky to turtle with only 0.5 miles or so from my destination. At least from what I've read online, people seem to have that low of range left after turtling. I think the chances would be much higher that I turtle and then get stranded on...

purchased the ELM327 bluetooth scanner + extension cable so that i can use leafspy. i ran out of gas once in my ICE car about 20 years ago. I was about 1000 yards away from the gas station (I could see it way down the road). i didn't end up pushing the car to the gas station because as luck...

i was running on battery fumes this past saturday... i had never pushed my car to this limit before but here's what happened...(all mileage is according to google maps). i had a list of stuff to do on saturday with my son. it started with me taking him to his swim lesson at my sports club...

I am leasing (as almost everyone is doing) and upgraded my EVSE on evseupgrade.com. I plan to trade my upgraded EVSE for a non-upgraded EVSE + cash from someone on this board at lease end. I charge with my upgraded EVSE at home (at around 3kw) and a work supplied EVSE at my office (at 6kw). I...

sorry for the late response. i do have the SL with solar power but i also live in Seattle where sometimes we don't get a lot of sun. i plan to record motion only when stopped. right now i have it hooked up to a fuse that turns off when i turn off the car. i would like to switch it though to...

oh ok. i did some searches but didn't find anything. probably just need to search some more. and yes, the 2014 (and all cars) have neutral.

will the main battery keep it alive to prevent it from dying? i ask because i am in the process of installing a dash cam. if i hook this up to the 12v accessory battery, will the main battery just keep the accessory battery charged up when the engine is off? or will i be in a situation where...

This group is a little better than the general Leaf group for solar in Seattle. https://www.facebook.com/groups/seattle.solar.homeowners/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

I wrote one of those poor reviews on yelp but it was mainly centered around the buying experience (I bought elsewhere). They tried to promote charging as one of the reasons why I should park there. They basically said that if I buy my leaf there I can charger there for free but otherwise I...

i live about 30 miles from SEA (seattle-tacoma airport). i had a business trip recently where i got a ride from one of my friends. i drove down to the airport and went from 100% down to 55% (so 45% used) when i got out of the car. my friend drove my car back to my house and when he got home...

thanks! i went down to the car and found the button to push to change the brightness setting and that took care of it. thanks everyone.
