Just lost my third bar but won't lose the fourth in time for replacement under the battery warranty. :x I've been babying it parking and charging in the early morning hours in the shade.

Just lost my second bar today at 42740 miles - strange time of year to lose a bar with temps in the 40s. However, I was surprised to go so long after I lost the first lost bar at 28,600 miles 14.5 months ago. Alas, not on track to lose four bars before 60,000 miles unless I move to Arizona or...

That is a good idea. After watching the video describing the operation of the dash cam, the reviewer said that the recorded speed may be off. I wonder if it will show the speed at 0, or if it will depend for how long you hold the stop? Also, if you are pulled over for speeding, how can one...

So this morning I see a police car behind me with his lights flashing and I was perplexed why. I have come to drive very conservatively in the Leaf. Usually one has that sense of the guilty infraction - Oops, I was speeding. But this time that was not the case. I had no clue why I was being...

Garaged in San Ramon during night. Parked in mostly shade in Hayward near the Bay during the day.

Bay Area Leaf Lost first bar Oct 9, 2013 Mileage 28,600 Received vehicle May 12, 2011 It doesn't appear that I will have 80% capacity at 5 years and 70% capacity at 10 years even in the relatively mild Bay Area climate. Anyone have a guess if I'm on track to qualify for the battery replacement...

Just a few days ago one of my tires got a sidewall puncture so it is toast. I have 23,000 miles and given the tire wear I was planning on taking my Leaf in to Costco anyway to get all four tires replaced. But, as you all know there is no spare donut for the Leaf. I read the forum discussions...

I like the fishing line idea. It should be relatively easy to try. I'd string it above and below the panels. The panels are elevated a few inches off of the roof and the pigeons like to roost underneath the panels at night so by stringing it below the panels it could deter them from seeking...

For the past few years it was just two pigeons roosting on the roof and I could ignore it. But now they seem to have attracted a whole flock of 14 pigeons. I cleaned the gutters recently - lots of poop and in two weeks they are filling up rapdly again. They are pooping all over the solar...

Both San Ramon QC chargers were down today when I dropped by. The one on the right looked like it was operational but would not respond to my Blink card. My card worked on the L2 charger right next to it so my card was not the issue. This seems to be a frequent state of affairs over the past...

I stopped by the Bishop Ranch East Bay location last night to check it out. There are two terminals for a Quick Charge. The one on the right was down (message on screen) but the one on the left is now working using my Blink Card. It was the first time I was able to use the fast charger on my...

Is there any way to turn off the clock? Since the clock on the carwings screen keeps good time I'd like to turn off the other one rather than having to continuously reset the correct time.

Yes, the clock on my dashboard is now 9 minutes ahead after 3 months of driving. The clock int he center console still shows correct time. Never had this problem with any other vehicle.

I work in the Bay Area and wanted to use the 120 Volt outlets on the outside of the building where I work. I asked our finance person to see what rates the company paid to PG&E. She got out the past billing statements and it was 8.5 or 9.5 cents/kWh depending on various factors (don't recall if...

There are two 120 volt outlets outside of our building in Hayward in the Bay Area. I figured that was all I needed to keep my car topped up for errands and local business trips to decrease the range anxiety. Our company has free coffee, tea, soda, (a benefit that I don't utilize but probably...
