    HOW TO: Make the VSP (noisemaker) button default to off

    Since the basic question here is how to change something (by adjustment) in the Leaf I thought I would ask a "change" question. With my new hearing aids, the turn signal sound for a right or left turn is horribly loud. Does anyone know if the sound level can be turned down or eliminated...

    Who out here only uses there level 1 charger

    I have a 2011 Leaf SV and will have been driving it 4 years next month. I only charge with my supplied Level 1 charger in the garage. I understand that the longer charging time means longer use of other Leaf components, but I have a pet theory that the lower voltage charge is less of an insult...

    OpenEVSE - Open Source Charging Station

    Regarding the EVSE upgrade to 240 volt capability. The upgrade plug does not appear to be able to plug into a standard dryer outlet. Can some sort of adapter be purchased to make this connection possible?

    Leafers in Half Moon Bay Ca. Coastside area

    I picked up my Leaf SV on October 25th and it resides in my garage on El Granada Blvd in El Granada. I'm using only the L1 unit which is working out fine with charging commencing at midnight and ending at seven. I'm still learning how to use this car, especially exploring the range. I hate...

    Heater failure

    I've had my Leaf only 30 days and although I enjoy the drive I'm finding the car frustratingly complicated. So I would like to lean on the expertise of Forum members to help me with a heater problem. This is what I'm trying to do. With the Level 1 unit plugged in and the car charging, I would...

    2012 Prices for Leaf

    The new, increased price of the 2012 Leaf appeared in my local paper recently courtesy of Associated Press. The base price of the SV model will be $35,200 and the SL trim will run $37,250. Glad I managed to order, at the last second, a 2011.

    Report about your may 1st reservation

    If you're discouraged by the inability to reserve a Leaf this time around try this. On May 1st I spoke with a salesman at Sunnyvale Nissan (CA) and he said he had an orphaned, red SV sitting on the ground ready to sell. I asked if it was MSRP. No, it was MSRP plus $8,000 putting the total...

    EV's Too Quiet ?!

    Accessing the wheel well speaker and simply unplugging it sounds doable. I doubt I would do what some Leaf owners have done with those seemingly highly technical "fixes". I'll just have to wait until the Leaf arrives which by the way is tomorrow, rescheduled to next week. Dealer says all 600...

    EV's Too Quiet ?!

    I would just like to know a few things about the fake-noise speaker located in the left wheel well. Is it possible to disconnect this or cut a wire? Has any Leaf owner actually done this yet and did it work? Did it cause any problems such as a light coming on? :evil:

    I Beat EPA's 73 Mile Range : Report your experience

    Hello gasmiser 1 I live in El Granada, north of HMB, and we recently passed a westbound (on Hwy 92) red Leaf. Must have been you. I thought for only the second day of ownership you were rather daring going all the way to Pescadero. My Leaf arrives April 14th and now I have confidence...

    Moving...with or without the LEAF?

    I managed to get a waiver regarding the installation of a charging station so that I could then order the car. I therefore have only one way to charge and that will be L1. But after reading some of these comments I'm rather confused. Are you saying that there is available an adapter that...

    Best reason to own a Leaf

    My very first adventure into this forum should probably have been a little less cynical. I posed the question about driving in 1973 and encountering the gas lines during the Arab oil embargo. It was nice to see that several people recalled those stressful times. But, it seems, most drivers...

    Best reason to own a Leaf

    My Leaf arrives in April, so they say. This will be in addition to my collection of the three most fuel efficient gas-electric hybrids ever sold in America. Anyway, there is one, single, important reason why I want a vehicle that does not rely on gasoline sitting in my garage and here it is...
