    Something in my charging system just died (2011)

    So almost made 2 years trouble free (a bit over 22 months!) but it was not to be :(. Friday my leaf decided it did not wish to charge. Details: When the car is plugged in the normal (thunk) noise and beep are heard (all as normal), but the blue dash lights never come on (not normal). Watching...

    Seattle area rentals and EVSE...?

    So long story here, but I"m probably going to be looking for a relatively short-term (1yr) lease/rental in Seattle... and as a guy who's never been to Seattle and never rented, it seems like the EVSE might be an issue. I'm restricting my search to only options that have at least a single...

    Finally did it - dumping the stock av/nav!.... kinda :)

    Well, got tired of line level conversion and its inherent nastiness, android's crappy default bluetooth stack, a very sub-par output channel on the stock unit, and just generally craptastic UI - not to mention the farking "OK" message - and decided, by god, I'm darned well getting rid of that...

    Nissan leaf cycling jerseys??

    Was out riding this evening, and came up on a lady wearing a really nice jersey with a nissan emblem on the back. As I got closer I realized it was a nissan leaf jersey! I think leaf was sharing jersey space with radio shack, but given that she was in time trial stance, the leaf was really the...

    Twins!

    (In the DeVito/Schwarzenegger sorta way :D ) So in addition to my leaf, I've got a 1972 dodge charger I've been working on (VERY SLOWLY) for almost 10 years now. I finally hit a near-driveable point yesterday (still have some gremlins to track down and still have the a/c hoses to put...

    One more winter range post- 33*, 80% to 0 bars: 32.8 miles

    Bit of a surprising day yesterday... I had seen some serious drops as it got colder, but I was still a little shocked with yesterday's performance... I only had it chanrged to 80% because I didn't think there was going to be any chance of an issue. The temp was 33 when I got up, and it never...

    Complicated question around replacement stereo...

    So I haven't messed with the canbus much, but I think this might be possible (though probably quite difficult...) - The question seems unrelated at first, but bear with me :) So I've been working on my audio system, with the hope/intent to stick with the factory head because of all the...

    range/efficiency maximization with heater

    So I've got a variable daily drive that goes from 20 to 40 miles total per day. 10 miles to work, 10 miles back, sometimes I meet my wife for lunch at a variety of locations up to 7 miles from work, and I often pick up the kid after school which adds 5 miles to the return trip. Great drive for...

    They might be giants - Electric Car

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jAv6M1Bai0c" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; Yeah, it's kinda kiddie, but if you're familiar with They Might be Giants, the style's pretty consistent.

    range impact of wheels/tires

    So I've seen some discussion where most people are theorizing that the range/efficiency should be minimally impacted by tire rolling resistance - I just wanted to provide a quick counter-example. I've recently changed the wheels/tires on my leaf from stock to a set of advanti denaro b2 black...

    Probably not of interest to most, but - major audio overhaul

    I've been tweaking design documents on how to put together a major audio system in my leaf since about 4 months before I got it, and now I'm actually finally getting some time to start working on it. Yay! So quick summary of the design goals: DESIGN GOAL 1: <10% reduction in range in most...

    new owner - am I doing something wrong?

    So I'm on my 3rd day, and I know better than to put any validity in the "remaining range" numbers. However, from what I've read, the charge remaining value should be pretty accurate, shouldn't it? I've been feeling like the % remaining is lower than I expected every day when I got home, so...

    June delivery carwings issue

    This was mentioned in the thread, but it got buried by discussion about delivery sequence :p Has anyone with june delivery and carwings opened up in the last week been able to register their leaf? In mine, and I know a few other people mentioned this in the june delivery thread, it shows the...

    February orders - any open yet? and reservation date spread

    February's here, and a quick search didn't show any threads already going, so I figured I'd open discussion on Feb orders. I'd guess noone's dashboard has opened yet, but I'd love to be wrong :) Mine's not anyway, but I'm guessing I'm probably pretty far down the tail of the February orders -...

    spread of order dates

    So - was just thinking about this... There's a HUGE gap in expected order dates, isn't there? What do you guys think will be happening in the meantime? No deliveries, or will the later orders have extremely short waits or something? Let me explain what I mean--- The latest order date I'm...

    aftermarket audio and leaf electrical system

    So I'm a huge fan of high-quality audio. I haven't had a car with less than 1kw of amps in nearly two decades (crap, I'm old...). And no, I'm not talking about the thump-crap, I'm talking about real high quality across the range (way back I competed in USAC and went to finals twice; the last...

    out of state roller-coaster

    Man, I'm frustrated, and gotta vent a little. I'm in Arkansas right now, and I placed my preorder within the first days of preorder availability. I knew we weren't an initial launch state, and that's fine; I can wait a few months. Especially since all the initial rumors were that the final...

    Anyone preordered recently in a launch market?

    So just a quick question -- Has anyone created a preorder recently in a launch market? If so, were you allowed into the September order phase? Just wondering how far back the preorders are backed up. Any ideas?

    EVSE/AV waiver - anyone done it?

    So I've been going back and forth between dealer and Nissan this morning, trying to track down an AV Waiver. Nissan says the waiver is not available (to anyone) yet, but I thought some here had already done the waiver. Can anyone who has successfully done the waiver give me some info on how...
