I wonder if used LEAF sales are increasing as a result of the used EV tax credit? The sale has to be through a dealer and you get a 30% tax credit up to $4,000.

It was very common when the first gen 1’s were new that you’d hear a pop sound from the front when you accelerated. My drivers side axel was replaced under warranty for the issue. Then issue returned six month later. It became fainter over time however. Its been gone for years now. Clearly a...

Thanks, that looks really nice.

I like this idea a lot. I found we have a Batteries+ store nearby. I never thought to look their. Was the battery you bought manufactured relatively recently? Also, do you happen to have the URL for the hold down you bought on Amazon? Thanks.

I purchased an Exide Edge 51R AGM on sale for $140 from AMZN a few years back. I watched this battery begin its journey in New Jersey, through the mid West, and eventually to Gardena outside of LA. The battery moves around LA for a few days and then starts heading back to New Jersey. So I call...

I did the lobotomy on mine over a decade ago and never once had that issue. Worse case if it did start happening to you it's easy to reconnect the Linux processor.

Congrats on hitting 100K! Four bars on your temp meter in April probably helps with you still having 11 bars. Ours is a 2011 and we're now at 7 bars on the battery. I don't recall ever seeing 4 temp bars. We also had an issue with the front end. They replaced an axle under warranty - it's had...

In the 21st century the US has adopted a policy of "privatize the profits and socialize the losses". Kind of the worst form of socialism there is in my opinion.

I also polished that plastic trim on LEAF when it was new. I used Liquid Glass polish I bought off of AMZN. I put on 10 or 12 coats over a couple of days. Its held up and still looks really good - no fading or cracking.

In nearly 9 years we've only used QC a couple of dozen times and most of that was for the novelty of it. Personally I wouldn't consider using my LEAF to power my home except in an emergency situation. You only get so many cycles on a Li battery pack and I'd rather save those cycles for...

I just noticed that the SDG&E EVCC for 2019 is $850. This is the last year for the program however.

I noticed yesterday that my SDG&E account had a $1,000 credit. I called customer service and they informed me that the 2018 EV Climate Credit was $500 per vehicle. I had submitted for our LEAF and Volt in March. I suspect the program generated a lot more money to go around this year. But it...

I haven't found any updates regarding the 2018 SDG&E EV Climate Credit. I suspect it will be far more popular this year because the word is getting around about the program.

I see that on occasion as well. I figured either the pricing algorithm went berserk or the company really didn't have the product on hand at the moment so they priced themselves out of the market. The only other thing I've come up with is it might be a money laundering scheme. Probably easier to...

Interestingly Clipper Creek owns the Trade Mark "AmazingE". So AmazingE and Clipper Creek are in fact one in the same. http://tsdr.uspto.gov/documentviewer?caseId=sn87172189&docId=RFA20160919080527#docIndex=13&page=1 By the way, Clipper Creek did screw up and didn't file a statement of use to...

Next time ask them to hold the mushrooms and mescaline.

Some believe that crickets will become our primary source of protein in the future. All the sudden plant-based burgers don't sound too bad do they! https://futurism.com/future-crickets-primary-source-protein/

When I was reading his claim in this thread I was thinking WTF, I've read this before a few months ago. Then I remembered it was on the Volt message board. A poster claimed his dealer installed a Gen2 battery in their Gen1 Volt. As in the case here, this is not possible. The thread then...

Interesting Bloomberg article on GM's EV roadmap. https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2017-10-02/gm-pledges-electric-future-with-20-all-electric-models-by-2023
