2012 Nissan Leaf Teardown / Component Locations

[miscrms]

Thought this might be of interest to some folks here working on or modding their Leafs.

I'm in the process of tearing down a salvage 2012 Leaf to relocate the drive system into another vehicle. At this point I've removed the dash and most of the interior, removed the battery, and removed most of the front end panels. Most everything has been wired back up temporarily so the car still runs and drives, so I thought this might be a good time to shoot a little video tour of the major component locations before everything comes out for the last time.

I also just came across this series of teardown images which I somehow hadn't seen before:

Rob, are you going to continue to document the Saab build?

Yes, build thread is here:

and I'm posting more general findings on re-using the Leaf system here:

I'll keep posting bits and pieces that I think would be of interest to Leaf owners here on mynissanleaf as well.
