    Wet Okole Seat Cover Group Buy **COMPLETED**

    Decided to just order the front seats in 11-11-21p. The light grey with the cobalt blue piping looks bad-dass but the whole point of seat covers is the fear of staining light grey seats. Light grey seat covers kind-of defeats the purpose. Don't have the budget to do the back seat. I mostly...

    Home on the Range. Leaf Fanboys attack.

    As one who has suffered from Knee-jerk reactions in the last week, I have to say I agree and disagree with your post. I agree that the bunker mentality of EV defenders can get kind of tiresome, but I disagree that the Leaf's range has to be increased. On the former, whenever you combine...

    Any one else get an email titled: Please share your thoughts on your new NISSAN LEAF from: [email protected] Wondering if all new drivers get this or only the ones who post their tales of woe regarding perceived range.

    Drained it –One Leaf Owner's Experience

    I take it that you have never been to Serramonte Nissan in Colma. Seriously, I could have done that, but at that point my expected range and what I had left to travel were very close, so we chose to go for it. Admittedly, a mistake ON MY PART. I thought perhaps the expected range might be...

    Drained it –One Leaf Owner's Experience

    RIGHT ON! All of us driving a Leaf have shown the strength of character to think differently. We should also have the courage to drive 55 to 60 in the right lane if need be on longer drives.

    Drained it –One Leaf Owner's Experience

    I don't think that your suggested post without mine would be very informative. But if it makes you feel better, let me state once again that the car was not at fault. My only prior experience charging was L2 at work and at home. I did have a nagging suspicion that something wasn't right, that...

    Drained it –One Leaf Owner's Experience

    To flamin' Dave in Oly: Like I said in my original post, I wrote it to share my experience with others, not to complain. I acknowledged making many mistakes, hoping others would take the time to prepare so they could avoid them. Telling me to to grow up, and stating in all caps how well...

    Drained it –One Leaf Owner's Experience

    Why do some people infer, and then say that some other person implied something that they did not? Perhaps these people only read the headlines. I never said or implied that the car was at fault. At most, I said that I was disappointed. That describes my feelings about the situation. The...

    Drained it –One Leaf Owner's Experience

    Yeah clippy, don't panic. Just keep your speed down, keep it in Eco, and hell, why not charge it up overnight for that matter before your trip? Just be mindful, don't panic. I am disappointed, but I am not going to junk the thing. I wish I could drive 100 miles round trip on the highway...

    Charging at work. Yay or Nay?

    Yay, for me. It helps working for the Air Quality Management District. We have a transit subsidy written into our contract, so we get transit passes, assistance with carpools, and even a subsidy if you ride a bike. The clause guaranteeing electric vehicle commuters a parking space and access...

    Drained it –One Leaf Owner's Experience

    Yes, it was two blocks short of 80 miles. And yes, I could have detoured to Broadway nissan but who knows if they would have been open. And yes, I know 101 would have been less hills. It is early on, the car wings database is only sparsely populated, and someday we will have quick charge...

    Drained it –One Leaf Owner's Experience

    This is long, I know, but bear with me. I now have a firm figure on my expected driving range from a 100% charge, and that figure is not 100 miles, not 90 miles, and not even 80 miles. I offer this account for the benefit of other drivers. Please don’t reply to offer use of your charging...

    opinions on clear charging port protector?

    This is a thin flim of plastic that surrounds the middle area of the front bumper. I suppose it protects the paint in case you drop the plug on the way into the charger. We ordered the protection package thinking that it would be a cover over the entire bumper front and back. As near as I can...

    Leaf owners: What ONE thing do you most dislike about it?

    The Headrest angle. I like to have my seat upright rather than slightly reclined, and if the seat is upright, your head is forced forward by the rediculous angle on the headrest. Adjustable would be nice, but the easy fix is to turn the headrest around. That means I can't adjust the height...

    surfboard range?

    OK, I just checked and my 9'0" does fit, but just barely. I don't know about anything bigger, you just have to try it yourself. Removed the headrest on both of the passenger side seats, and reclined the front, with the back seat down so they are butting against each other. I have a car seat...

    surfboard range?

    Did you really fit a 9 0 in there or just tape measure it at a drive event? I had figured that 8 6 would be the max based on the tape. I got my leaf last friday and have yet to take the leaf to surf, but was thinking about it for tomorrow. Now I have to see what can be done. I will check...
