Thanks for all your responses guys. The sl generator upgrade comment nearly had me blow a gasket :) I'll let you know how it goes in 2 weeks. It's Boardwalk Nissan, home of the Brendan, so was somewhat surprised they tried to pull something like this.

Hi guys, I know this seems like yet another oft asked question about maintenance - hopefully I'm providing an entertaining twist though. I'm planning on going in for my free 12 month battery level check. 2 questions: - does this free battery check also include the multipoint inspection that...

Ok. Charged again from 80%. This time it only took 90min - just as predicted on the dash. Must have been balancing the other day, since I rarely charge to 100%.

Here's a graph from Google Power meter (RIP). It is sent data from my ENVI (I said TED, I meant ENVI) unit that has its little hooks looped around the house mains. As an aside, it seems to consistently read 10% lower than actual (as seen from my Smartmeter directly). You'll see from the graph...

I have a TED and it was reading 4+kW from 10:50pm to 2am last night. Normally I'm hovering in the sub 1kW range at that time. Checked that I didn't have any major appliances (oven, AC...) on at the time. Ambient temp in the garage where it sat for most of the day was probably in the 70F-75F...

Hi guys, After 3 months on L1 only, I finally got around to installing my AV EVSE in the garage. Its sooo nice to charge faster. Something strange though. It took 3 hours 15min to charge from 80% (where I had programmed it to stop earlier) to 100%. At 3.3kWh, that's over 10kWh. At 80%...

So based on this: http://www.mynissanleaf.com/viewtopic.php?f=27&t=4228 it does seem there are many here who simultaneously enjoy the purity of electric cars like the Leaf AND still enjoy fast/powerful ICE cars. For the last little while, I've been looking forward to when the 2 can come...

You guys have given great (and entertaining) feedback. My original post was simply because many in my office believed that the Leaf demographic is 99% the Prius demographic. Which actually still may be true, it just seems clear now there are a number of us here who enjoy the Leaf (and maybe...

Thanks for the feedback guys! Yes my 911 cab s has been in the garage the whole week I've had my Leaf. The Leaf is such a utilitarian car. Yet so simple and pure and fun at the same time. Totally different than the cab on a sunny day w the top down and blasting thru the hills with the exhaust...

Or boxster/m3/gtr ? And decided to keep both? And hasn't driven anything but their Leaf in their first week of Leaf ownership?

Yes I was going to add that explanation tomorrow... But since you mentioned it :) My assumption is that each bar represents 2kWh since there are 12 and it is a stated 24kWh battery. The bars could also represent charge on a non-linear scale or somehow offset by some buffer at the bottom of the...

Hi, I'm cross posting this here: http://www.mynissanleaf.com/viewtopic.php?f=31&t=2523&p=97043#p97043 Basically, I'm seeing 2.2 to 2.5 miles/kWh resulting in a total real range for me of 50 miles. OR, the battery pack isn't 24kWh. I will be measuring tonight what goes in to the pack from the...

So I've had my Leaf for 2 days now. I live on a hill about 1500 ft up. I've done 2 round trips so far and I'm getting about 5 miles per bar for both trips. Dashboard says I'm doing 3.4 miles/kWh but my calc shows something more like 2.2 to 2.5 miles/kWh (hence the 5 miles/bar). Details: Trip 1...

I'm in a similar spot here. 4/22 in DB all through until last night, where it changed to May 30. 10 days ago I got a call about the pollen and how my car will ship ON May 16th, which then changed to week of the 16th which then changed to hopefully at the end of week of May 16th. I'm hoping that...

4/22 also. boardwalk. on hold. for accessories. supposedly its the floor mats. they were supposed to send me an update email today but never did.

Was at Boardwalk this morning. Looks like, as Brendan says, there should be a bunch more coming next week. Really hopeful. It does look like the VINs are all over the place. Saw 1227 and 2049 getting ready for delivery... JessEV

Cool. Anything special needed to do this beyond a screwdriver?

I'm now on week of April 15 delivery date and have got my password to carwings. Has anyone tried logging in to their iPhone Leaf app yet with this password? Would be cool and maybe odd if we could control the cars even before they got to us....

trentr: Ok, now I'm back to PENDING and I can once again change... Really sorry to hear that trentr. Which dealer in silicon valley did you order from? Wondering if there is an allocation issue? (or were those theories about dealers with too many orders would get the cars spread out over a...

aqn: oops, yes, it was the Trifield (http://www.amazon.com/Trifield-100XE-EMF-Meter/dp/B00050WQ1G/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1300489341&sr=8-1) tbleakne: On the acceleration, it was a bit puzzling to Gudy and myself that it didn't go up much. I should add I didn't measure above the dash much, but...
