I'm buying a new car and will be selling my 2011 Leaf SL. I'm asking $3500. It has the original battery which is down to 8 bars and 34,012 miles on the odometer. It's in very good condition and has never been in an accident or collision. It has all the original equipment, including, of course...

My 2011 Leaf finally lost its 4th bar of battery capacity. The GOM usually shows about 42 miles of range when charged. At times I've found it says it has 56 mi. of range if I've been driving slow without A/C or heat, although I'd never use it for anything over 35 miles or so. I've found the...

I test drove the Volvo XC60 PHEV recently. It had been at the top of my list for my next car, but I didn't like it as much as I thought I would. It seemed too large and the dash/controls layout seemed too confusing. I read that the controls require "a steep learning curve." I like the size and...

I have a 2011 Leaf and just upgraded the telematics unit so I can connect remotely again. That was Thursday, 4 days ago. I've downloaded the app, logged in OK, and connected to the Nissan Connect EV site. I've reached the page where it allows me to start charging or start the climate control...

Okay, this trick is not unique to Leafs, but I've found it very useful and thought I'd share it. Our favorite Chinese restaurant won't deliver to us so we have to order takeout when we don't want to go there in person. The local environmental police do not allow plastic bags for takeout food in...

Did anyone else get an email about investing in Blink's new public offering? I find a few things disturbing about it. The address they give in N. Hollywood, FL as company HQ is located in a second rate area and their name does not appear on any buildings there according to Google Earth/Maps...

Now that AT&T has discontinued its 2G service I can no longer preheat my 2011 Leaf from the NissanConnectEV website. I am aware that I can get an upgrade installed in the car, but I don't think it's worth the money for the small use I would get out of it. The only time I ever want to preheat (or...

I have a quibble with the Leaf's navigation interface. The other day my wife and I were going to an event at the home of a relative of a friend, a place we'd never been to and would not be likely ever to go again. I looked it up on Google Maps (GM) and found it to be a bit tricky, with lots of...

Does anyone know how to deactivate bluetooth on the 2011 Leaf. I don't have a smart phone and never use bluetooth. My daughter was visiting from out of town and wanted to see if her new iPhone can play songs in the Leaf through bluetooth. She activated bluetooth and played her music for about a...

I write crime novels. I want the main character to figure out something important by using the stored GPS tracking data. My handheld GPSr and my Nuvi both have a tracking option and I know how to retrieve the data from those, but only if tracking is turned on. I've read through my 2011 Leaf...

My 2011 Leaf used to have the pedestrian warning sound but now it no longer does. Is there a way to turn it back on? I suspect the dealer turned it off when I had them upgrade the brake software. I live in an area with no sidewalks and two weeks ago a teenager walking on the right decided to...

Last year I bought a drone and an action camera. I had fun playing with it for a year or so, but a few months ago the camera went kaput and I sold the drone. It was too hard to fly it with all the public suspicion and official entities banning them, etc. I tossed the camera in the electronic...

There's probably a thread somewhere on this, but I couldn't find it. Today I went running at the park and got back to the car in the parking lot. As I started to enter my car (2011 blue Leaf) I saw that two elderly (meaning anyone 5+ years older than me) were getting in the car to the immediate...

I recently bought Kindle Fire. It's getting harder and harder to find audiobooks on CDs. Most are now downloadable and have DRM protection. I can get them on the Kindle from the library through the Overdrive app, but I can't rip them to a USB thumb drive. The Kindle is capable of playing...

When I first got my 2011 Leaf I always would press the Accept button when starting the Leaf and and I would check Carwings regularly to judge my efficiency compared to others, etc. Now I don't even bother with that initial screen. I just press the audio button or map button I want , which is the...

Some of my songs with strong stereo separation sound terrible in the Leaf because I am only hearing the left track. The right speaker is so far away that it barely registers when I'm driving. I've looked all through the owner's manual and the Navigation/audio manual and their indexes and have...

My home Blink EVSE was purchased in 2011 and has performed flawlessly until recently (except for one failure the first year which was promptly fixed by Ecotality at no charge). Now it's become unreliable, occasionally failing to charge at all on its nightly schedule. When I discover this I press...

I was on this forum every day back in 2011 when I first got my Leaf - or before. I learned a great deal and always got useful replies if I asked a question. Now, 3+ years later the Leaf has become "just a car" in a good way. It's so reliable, easy to operate, and maintenance free that I seldom...

I just saw on the news that many carmakers, including Nissan are being required by the govt. to recall airbags for affected models. I tried to go to the recall website to see if the Leaf was included, but the site wouldn't load (too busy). Does anyone know if it affects the 2011 Leafs?

Google Maps still allows me to send addresses to the car (although the last time I used it, nothing downloaded in the car). What it no longer does, though, is allow me to send coordinates to the car. It will still locate the coordinates on a map, but the link to send to car doesn't appear. I...
