I also own a 2015 LEAF S. 38,500 miles and 10 bars. Owned it since day 1. Nissan quoted me $10k+ for a replacement battery. Honestly, because I'm retired and use the car for local travel, I regularly get 80-85 miles range. For my purposes, I can keep driving this for a long, long time. Of...

I just replaced my original Ecopia tires that came with my 2015 LEAF S at 21,600 miles. One of the tires was bald on the outside edge (not just the edge...about 4-5" worth!) despite regular rotation (6k miles) and careful pressure monitoring. The others exhibited various levels of wear and...

Just a quick note on EVSE Upgrade reliability. I upgraded my OEM Nissan EVSE with EVSE Upgrade. That was in 2013. I've been using it now on my 2015 LEAF S for 4 years...2 years on the previous LEAF. Flawless for 6 years. I consider that great bang for the buck. Reliable and user friendly...

My 2015 Leaf S that I purchased at the end of my lease appears to have dropped its first bar at 20,000 miles. Weirdly, driving off fully charged displays 11 bars. After driving 5 miles or so, the 12th bar reappears. Residential Driving: 90+ miles on the GOM. 85 miles or a little less in the...

Upon taking the vehicle with the separating door handle to the dealer, it was replaced for Free! A service tech told me that out of warranty (mine is a 2015 S) super glue will do the job.

I've got the same handle problem. It snaps back but ALWAYS comes apart. I'm going to ask the dealership when I rotate tires. Aggravating. Thanks

I may just do that. I've got to take it in for the annual battery check and a tire rotation. Good time to wander over to the used vehicle sale lot and ask. ;-) The dealership has been honest in the past. They admitted they sold me the vehicle at too low a price. They now realize they can...

It came in an email. The dealership that first leased and then sold me my 2015 Leaf S just offered to buy it back. Are other owners getting these kinds of offers? The requirements are... - Less than 25,000 miles - Fast Charge Capable - No Accidents That offer would net me almost $5,000 in...

Will this version work on a 2015 base model S (w/QC)? The last time I checked, the App only worked with models with built-in Navigation. Thanks!

I'm a bit surprised by what I read here. My 2015 is my second Leaf. It now has 12,500 miles and all 12 bars. My 2013 had about 20k miles and all 12 bars. I rarely QC. But I don't think that's the problem with losing bars. I thought it was pretty well sorted that it was a combination of...

Nissan gives us everything we need to know when pressing the steering wheel button that indicates we wish to initiate a call. In fact, after the 100th time I hear it, I wish it would just say "Would you like to make a call or say 'Full Menu!" That way I could just say "Call + Name" It's a bit...

While enjoying my 2015 Leaf S, like many others I wonder what happens when I lose all those bars and my battery has degraded. Sure, I could pay $6500 and get a new one. But I noticed a LEAF with heavy front-end damage for sale at a local auction and wondered...what if I bought this relatively...

Wouldn't it be better to get a 2015, lower mileage, QC for a little more...right off the lot? 36k is right about where many people lose their first battery bar. Taxes. Yes, in Georgia you pay twice as well!

Sonnylax asked: Regal did give me a detailed run down of each and every cost...down to the penny. It was on the telephone and I didn't write the detailed list. Honestly, I only paid attention to the big items: $1076 balance of 4 more lease payments Around $700 for tax, etc. $5820 Out the...

It has to be judged on your circumstances. If you drive all highway and regularly cruise at 70 mph, you're going to end up below 4 Miles/kWh. 4.2 is a reasonable number if you have a mixed highway/surface street (35mph) driving agenda. All on city streets 35-45 mph, I usually get around...
