I'm glad to hear that Carwings on your iPhone is working better. It always takes me logging in twice and waiting about 5 minutes before I can start the climate control... Just tested it and it still takes two separate login attempts and about 5 minutes to actually log in. :x

Sounds like a great trip you have planned. I've been thinking of doing the opposite trip --- SLO to San Diego. Anyway, it sounds like you have all the SLO L2 Chargers above. Target has several scattered across their parking lot (charged there last week, FREE no card required) - From HWY 101...

<Currently in Escrow> Hi there, I ordered my Leaf with a cargo organizer and when I took delivery of it, it wasn't there. I asked the dealer to refund my money ($250) for the cost of the option that wasn't there, but they refused and ordered me the organizer instead. Nonetheless, I can't fit...

I mentioned this a while back on a different thread, but now that I have driven my Leaf for a few months, I am constantly confused when driving my boat now. When I want the boat to go forward I keeping putting it in reverse. Since the "stopped" position is in the middle for both a boat and the...

I had a problem with my Leaf charging on day 3. It sounded like a similar issue that you had although it never started charging. I had it towed to the dealership and they reset the computer and all has been good for about 4,000 miles. I too was a little panicked at the first sign of trouble...

It's not possible to get water on the Leaf's engine...'cause it doesn't have one. :D I hadn't noticed any water intrusion though. Maybe when we get some rainier weather.

My automatic transmission requires that I pull it back (one click) to go backwards. :D

So, I was out on my boat this weekend and I kept putting the hammer forward expecting it to go backwards. I made that mistake at least three times. I don't get out on the boat often enough, but I never made that mistake before I owned a Leaf. :lol:

I agree that the system is poorly designed. I do the same thing (lower the temp setting down as low as it goes) to make sure the heat stays off when I only want some fresh air. Today I was driving home from work and it was about 90 F outside and I had the A/C set to about 75 F. It was cool in...

I do have environmental tendencies. I compost my food scraps, I raise a lot of my own food, I don't waste resources, but my primary reason was to create demand for electric vehicles. I was concerned that if no one bought them, car companies would give up and go back to making crappy ICE cars...

I'm having my Leaf tinted tomorrow and they tell me the tint goes on the inside. What are they doing on the outside of your car? Maybe they took the whole thing off to be able to get the tint on the inside? :?

I commute 74 miles round-trip and so far have had no problem. Most of the trip is highway at 60 MPH. I also have to go over a 1,200 foot mountain. I use the A/C when I need it and generally make it home with 1 to 2 bars left. The key is driving slow (60 MPH) and learning to "drive" the Leaf...

Well, I got a call from the dealership and my car is ready to be picked up. The service manager didn't really seem to know what the problem was, but he said it was similar to the AC issue that has been reported. He said I could talk to the Leaf Tech if I wanted to, but my wife is picking up...

Thanks Ray, I've had miserable luck with the search function on the forum. I usually get nothing or stuff that's not what I'm looking for. Maybe I don't understand the logic that the search page is looking for. :?

Great, let me know when you successfully hack it! :geek:

Thanks for the tip! I got a call from the dealership today and they're going to keep it another couple days. I guess the Nissan Engineering Department wanted the local service tech to setup a live video feed to corporate office so they could all trouble shoot together. The service manager was...

Ok, this is probably a silly thing, but when I sat down in the Leaf for the first time and put it in "gear", it seemed counter-intuitive to have to push the joy stick forward to go backwards and backwards to go forward. I know it was set up like this to resemble an automatic transmission in an...

I don't know which firmware I have, but my vehicle just got delivered to the dealer last week from the factory, so I presume it must have the most up-to-date firmware, but you never know. :? I used the AC for about 2-3 minutes when I left my parking lot at work, but by the time I got to the...

Thanks guys, I will keep you posted. I'm glad it was me today and not my wife. We carpool and take turns who has the car during the day. Anyway, I hope I get the car back sooner than later. He told me it could take up to five days. I hope not. :shock:

What a bummer of a day. I took my new Leaf for its first full day of commuting. I drove to work and it worked great. I got in the car at lunch to zip downtown for lunch. I pulled into a parking garage and plugged it into the EVSE at the garage. It wouldn't charge for some reason. I used...
