First a correction, it was the rear brakes that were replaced. I find that odd as any other car I've owned always went through front brakes faster. I have the original battery, down 25% according to LeafSpy, down 2 bars on the dash. I have to charge to 100% (currently 214 GIDs) half the year...

Just replaced the front brakes on my 2012 LEAF at 77,700 miles and exactly 6 years.

Update: After disconnecting my 12v battery on 1/28 I think I failed to get a charging complete notification the morning of 1/29 but other than that it has been working great! I did go to the dealer on 1/31 to have them check things over. The only thing they found was DTC B29C1 "EVSE [SIGNAL...

I had my TCU replaced on 1/10 and it was working until the outage on 1/20. Since then I could login from my car and update charging stations but I could not connect to the car from the website or the Android app and I wasn't getting notifications from the car when charging completed. I had...

Apologies if I'm misunderstanding your wish, but I currently have CarWings doing some of this. I have it send me email (I believe it could also be a text) when it is done charging and when it is not plugged in while parked near a charging station. I think it can also do it when it starts...

My cold weather observation is that using the charging timer to finish charging just before leaving results in better efficiency than charging the day before. I assume this is because the battery has been warmed by 2-3 hours of charging. I have a 20 minute, 10 mile rural/city commute so it may...

I've had the same problem with audio books. I suspected it may be due to the part number being at the end. I edited the names of the files and put the part number at the front, then the LEAF played them in order.

Hi Fiddlegeek, You sound like a perfect candidate. A non-highway rural commute will be fairly efficient, not as good as all city, but way better than highway. I live in the Concord area. My best full trip was to UNH and back on Rt. 4 in May in light rain. My 2012 SL made the 85 mile round...

That seems like too much of a drop to be just the snow tires. I put 4 General Altimax Arctics on last year but at the same time the outside temps dropped and we had the time change which means my evening commute was now in the dark. This year I am waiting as long as possible to put the snow...

I run General AltiMAX Arctic. They were very good on my Ford Fusion and are just as good on my LEAF.

Thanks everyone for the advice and letter templates. I have opted out.

I have a 2012 SL with the cargo cover. I once forgot to put it back in and found that driving with the windows open causes a lot of turbulence in the back storage area. Since then I've been glad I have it. I also find it easy to remove if I put the back seats down then move it forward over...

In southern NH I find a trip of 50 miles of interstate at 65 mph and 15 miles rural averaging about 40 mph is cutting it close. This is with no heat and no A/C, although I did have the lights on. To be safe I'd suggest looking at non-interstate options. I've done 85 miles of non-interstate...

I'm happy with the LEAF in snow. I run General Altimax Arctic snow tires on all four wheels. No trouble in six inches of snow. More than that might be too deep.

I'm more towards economy (one of the reasons I bought the car) but I won't freeze myself. My one-way commute is 10 miles and 20 minutes so I don't usually put the heat on unless the outside temp gets down to the high twenties, and that's only because my feet start getting cold. I set the temp...

... you start your car *BEFORE* opening the garage door! ... you purposefully do *NOT* manually release the parking brake! (I love this feature! Don't think MY 2013 has it.) ... you are still wearing your winter coat and gloves when others have a light jacket or fleece. ... you try to get...

ColumbiaRiverGorge, Thanks for the reply. I should have no problem in NH. I'm glad to hear how well the LEAF does in snow. Larry

Hi ColumbiaRiverGorge, I had General Altimax Artic (unstudded) on my previous two cars and loved them. I was excited to see they are available in the LEAF size. Could you give an update on how the rest of the winter went and how much you think they affected your range. Thanks, Larry

What are people doing about the rear floor mat? Laying it over the top of the extenders just doesn't work. For now I have turned the mat sideways and slid it between the extenders. Has anyone installed the extenders over the rear floor mat? Any potential problems with doing that (other than...

This also happens to me under the same conditions, but not always. I don't listen to XM that often so haven't pursued it with the dealer yet.
