* The Bolt uses the same L-2 charging stations as all other EVs except Teslas sold in the US.

How can that be, how does the manufacturing date work?
At what point of the year is a car considered the next year car? I would have thought closer to the end of the year, and certainly not in the first half of the year...
That is no drawback. They are unlikely to compete for L2 charging spots unless parking privileges come into play or an owner particularly cares about the free charging perk.Jedlacks said:The only drawback is that 6-7 of my coworkers drive Tesla's, so I'll park on the end.

Realize the LEAF MY 2014 was one of the shortest in Automotive history. The desire to get a more robust "Lizard" pack out there was rather large which undoubtedly encouraged Nissan to issue the 2015 MY early for a more definitive line in the sand.
http://www.mynissanleaf.com/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=17168&p=374490 was when we first learned of the "lizard" battery being installed in model year '15 Leafs. As far as we know, ALL model year '15 US Leafs should have the "lizard" battery,. Presumably model year '16 S trim (original 24 kWh S trim, NOT the "S 30" 30 kWh that came near the end) should have it, as well.valem said:I'm finding several 2015 for sale with a manufacturing date on the door sticker indicating early 2014, like 05/14.

You can figure out the model year via the VIN and via Carfax/Autocheck. Sorry, I don't have the a decoder in front of me/off the top of my head regarding which digit in the VIN you should check for model year.
As for model years, IIRC, Ferrari does something where model year can be a year behind calendar year. Typically, around latter part of Aug/beginning of Sept in a "normal" cycle does next year's model start showing up at dealers. Example exceptions:
- 2010 Prius went on sale in the US around May 2009
- 2012 Prius wasn't available at US dealers until calendar year 2012, a few weeks in
- 2013 Leaf wasn't available at any US dealers I'm aware of until at least a few weeks into calendar year 2013
- https://www.autoblog.com/2012/12/21/why-the-38-mpg-2014-mazda6-is-on-dealer-lots-but-you-cant-driv/ is crazy where 2014 Mazda6 showed up at dealers at end of 2012!

Is your local climate humid, or more dry? Dies it cool off much at night in Summer?
