I've been chatting via email with another forum member who used the same dealer that I did, Antelope Valley Nissan. As it turns out, we're almost exactly the same distance from our dealer, about 85 miles.
The obvious question is whether or not we can drive our Leafs home. Much as I hate to admit it, I think the answer is 'NO'. At least, not if we stick to the main roads. In my case, it'll be almost 100% 65 to 70 mph highways. I would expect the Leaf to go about 65 miles at that speed. There's not the slightest doubt in my mind that I could do 85 miles in the Leaf, if I drove 45 mph. But I don't want to get hit, and driving 20 under is a dangerous thing to do. So, it looks like I take the truck and flatbed trailer.
Not the way I wanted to start my EV adventure...
