Well, on the topic of buying a used LEAF... every now and again I like to shop for them just to see what's out there. More and more of the used ones seem to be picked up by (a.k.a being dumped by) Carrvana). Today I found this 2013 LEAF SV for sale there with ~64K for $7590. Now I've never...

Thank you for sharing this news here. I only exchanged a few emails with Glenn D a couple of years back, but found him an honorable seller and a kind person. My condolences to his family.

What I remember very clearly is that between 2001 and 2002 (because we were doing that then) was that the federal adoption tax increased from $5,000 to $10,000 and (unexpectedly) every adoption agency fee doubled on Jan 1 of 2002. Be it a view from the Right or Left, Government subsidies...

But the very last thing that will happen in the trucking industry is cutting drivers. Why? in a word... liability :!: Its one thing for a private owner's car to get into an accident that results in a death. If a Schneider National truck is in an accident that causes a death, millions and...

Well, I've never known LEAFSpy calculations on short trips to be very accurate (in part because it does not always report the same distance traveled as the odometer) and I tend to ignore it. I reset my dash display every time I charge the car and if I set LEAFSpy's M/kw to what the dash...

This looks like it could be a nice service and I will likely send you my data soon. I have data since the day I bought the car new and use Leaf Spy almost every time I drive the car. Here are things I think would make your site more useful - but requiring a bit more programming. 1. I think...

. No, its included in the calculations, but if you have not reset it since September you have got a lot of miles on the dashboard average so it will take a long time for that average to drop. The GOM responds to most recent usage, so it will reflect such changes very quickly

In 2016, the top 1% of incomes was right at $390k nationally (in San Diego you needed more like $428k). The cheapest Tesla is around $75K out the door (fees, taxes, plates) but sales of actual cars are much higher than the base price. So if you are just barely in the 1%, that base car costs...

This is great, so we agree completely with my statement that "so far, Tesla has used a lot of federal dollars to make vehicles exclusively for the 1%. i.e. tax dollars used by Tesla to reduce the actual labor costs to build Teslas. as I said, I think this is a dumb tax break for the...

I did, again, instead of being vague, make your argument, point out where I'm wrong.. "But public subsidies for Musk's companies stand out both for the amount, relative to the size of the companies, and for their dependence on them." "They shored up the deal with an agreement to give Tesla...

Well, in the hope that you are simply ill informed, rather than disingenuous, I'm not referring to the the $7500 car purchase program (another government program I'm not wild about as its a tax subsidy for the wealthy (even when Nissan gives it back to customer who lease a car, the company still...

Not far from where I am, when I'm in Wisconsin, there is a local Winery where Tesla paid to install 3 destination charging stations but also paid to install one J1772 standard charging station as well (and not because the owner asked or even knew to ask), they just did it as part of the outreach...

Well I thought I'd revive this thread... The other day while in Indianapolis on the east side I stopped by Ed Martin Nissan. I actually stopped to look at a used 2007 Toyota Prius that they have for sale. They are asking $6897 for it. Its nice but I really don't need it, just miss my old one...

Oh no you don't... I expect you to keep mine working until my LEAF dies and I figure I got 10 more years for that. Sure you might blame my substandard assembly for any future problems, but I can fix my work and I expect you to fix yours :D

I'm with LeftieBiker (at least on this issue), but before you get all "see you in small claims court" You might ask them VERY nicely if they would split the difference between the dealer bid difference and their offer and be happy if you can get that.

Maybe not the worst thing ever, but it is completely sad... Nissan should pull its adds from NBC for that crap.

Not if the car is still in Neutral. Be sure and return to Drive before trying to brake or its friction braking all the time.

I think its important to remember the fact that this "door" goes up in the front of the vehicle and therefore you don't want it to be set up in such a way that if you hit a bump at 70 mph a release might trip and allow the door to pop open. I'm not sure the hinges will hold up against that type...

OpenEVSE has a couple of very nice options

So 6 years and drove the car 33k miles (~5500 per year or about 1.5 miles per day), and they are worried about a car that can't be used to commute more than 40 mile per day? Why? and never came back to comment. Smells like Troll
