I guess that there are some cells worse than others. Then on acceleration, these drop with the voltage more than the better ones, causing the BMS to calculate a much lower SoC (as the SoC is the position of the worst voltage between max. and min. voltage). You might want to connect the Leaf Spy...

That's you in the US... Here in Germany I bought the Leaf in 2018 für about 30 K€, and today I would get about 15 K€. That's the reason why we now have two cars, I will not* sell it for 15 K€, so we have the best of both worlds. A Model3 and the Leaf.

Hint: "Forward driving pedestrian warning noise is REALLY annoying": this can be switched off and on by a button in the car during cruise, or permanently using Leaf Spy. At least with my ZE1 2018.

Sorry, this is unclear for me. Did you swap the battery in the old (ZE0) or the car (to a ZE1)?

Oh, and I forgot: what is much worse in the Leaf is the climate control. Heats up fast, afterwards becomes colder than selected. And the ventilation is not predictable. Hard to enjoy in the winter and hot summer. In that respect, the M3 is much better - it does what I select. Might be a bug of...

Well I promise I need the same amount of time in the Leaf to look for the knobs (often climate control) as I need in the Tesla to control the same either using speech imput or - rarely - using the screen. I do not use the "advanced" features of the Tesla a lot, I just drive it as a car (except...

May I add my 2cts as I have both: Nissan Leaf ZE1 of 2018 (> 100.000km) and the Tesla M3 from 2023 (though luckily not the current updated M3 without signal stick etc) with 10.000 km by now. The Leaf is much nicer in the city , easier to drive and with a better capacity for transporting luggage...

Sorry, typing error... End of 3G, of course. 2G has more features for IoT as far as I know, so it's better to keep 2G and end 3G.

Well here in Germany we are facing the end of life of 4G in summer this year I don't know about other EU countries - and Nissan still replies "we have no idea - stay tuned and be patient" when asked via support portal. At the Swiss border the situation is even funnier: Switzerland just switched...

Sorry, no. It's a hobby and I create these apps as I need them - and Apple is an unknown universe for me. It would more than duplicate the effort.

After several chargers of one certain company (EnBW in Germany) stopped the Leaf while charging, causing serious problems for me urgently seeking for reliable chargers (several times, unexpectedly having a nearly empty car after returning to it hours later) I started creating an app for...
