Given fuse location and small size, for me it seemed easier to disconnect the negative battery cable. I will say using the fuse method would at least maintain radio settings etc. I did note that now my dash clock is off by 10 minutes... Hoping that will correct the next time I go to use the...

Hi all, I had my TCU replaced on my 2015 at the beginning of last year (2019). I don't access the Connect app all that often and at the times I have - its been a bit finicky. I've even had to go to the car to log out and then log back in to "restart" the system. Recently, I was unable to use...

Thanks! Meaning b/c AZ is so hot and would kill the battery sooner than CA.’s climate. Mark

Hi all, I agree there are some mixed signals here. I just made an appointment for the battery plate recall as well and added the battery maintenance check (since I just lost my first batt bar at 48k miles). $80 at my local dealership - I asked for a deal or coupon and was told that was the...

Thanks for your response. I am needing to get the recall repair as well. Hopefully my local dealership has a reasonable price for the battery check. I am a big proponent of proper maintenance, however a battery check report is seemingly not truly maintenance... Thanks again, Mark

Hi all, I am the second owner of my 2015 and now have just under 50k miles (lost my first bar just the other day). I hadn't planned on getting the annual battery check, mostly due to the cost of it. One dealer near me quoted $160 for it. I wondered, if the previous owner did not follow...

Thanks for the links - I followed them hoping for happiness, yet see it's the 20116/2017 models... I skimmed an article some time ago about replacing the Leaf's 24kw battery with a higher/larger capacity battery (I believe it was happening in the U.K.) I'm hopeful that mod will make its way...

Thanks for the info. I've only quick charged the car three times since I've owned it. When I had a 2001 Honda Insight Hybrid there were some theories running around about something called a "pack whack." Totally different battery chemistry between vehicles, yet made me wonder if quick jolt...

Hi all, I just noticed that I've now lost my first battery bar - I agree that it feels like losing a friend or something... I didn't realize that the battery bar loss would come from the main gauge of the readout (nearest the battery fuel symbol). I thought that it would be the blue/white bars...

Hi all, I just had experienced this issue as well. My first sign was when backing out of my driveway and the brake pedal went to the floor. Pedal seemed to return quickly. The next time I went to drive the car (a day later), the pedal went to the floor and the car wouldn't shift out of gear...

Thanks! :D Mark

Thank you :D Mark

Hi all, on a recent road trip and riddled with range anxiety from not having made the trip before, I wondered if anyone has found what the most efficient highway/freeway speed is? That is, is there a notable difference from going 55 MPH vs. 65 MPH when considering distance? Thanks, Mark

Hi all, I am wondering if anyone is aware of an app/software to map directions that is specific to EVS that takes into account elevation changes, among other things, that would affect the range of an EV? I looked around and couldn't locate anything that was fitting. It is entirely possible I...

Thanks all for your replies. Helps knowing it's not a defect and keeps me from being as annoyed :roll: Thanks again, Mark
