When the NMAC rebate of $7,500 off residual hit yesterday for the 2013 LEAF leases I jumped on it. In 33,000 miles I'm down about 6-8% in capacity with no real-world reduction in range. The climate in Chicago is more ideal for longevity. Hopefully, I do not have your experience. Or, if I do...

I sure hope so, because many of the re-branded 350 Green eVgo L3 stations on the Oasis centers on the highway are in disrepair. The handles are broken on several and the one n/b O'Hare hasn't worked at all in months - despite reporting it several times. Even after reporting broken equipment it...

Remember - you should have all your research done on the vehicle prior to getting random prices. Consumer Reports is one resource to get actual vehicle pricing. Not MSRP and not invoice - the actual cost of the vehicle. Then, you have a baseline for quote comparison. Obviously, a dealer is...

I've also had heater problems with my '13 S with about 8,000 miles on it. It's about as reliable as having a warm day in this Chicago winter ;) I generally set the climate control to 70 degrees and head out of my nice, warm garage. Half the time - after the initial "warm up" - it will blow...

Bill Kay Nissan in Downers Grove demolished all the rest of the Chicagoland Dealers during my search last summer.

The vehicle was at 93% SOC when it was parked. After returning to the vehicle 12 hours later I noticed the inner-most blue dash light slowly blinking. The vehicle was not plugged in, therefore, it must have been an indication the battery heater was working. When I "started" the vehicle the...

Nope. Maybe at some point, but not yet... I was at 2 temp bars though (wide range, I know).

-13 in Chicagoland today. Managed to squeeze out about 45 miles in my 2013 from 100% at normal driving speeds (35-45mph) with climate control set at a nice, toasty 70 degrees. Just about hit VLBW. The car will be outside tonight at potentially -15 for 12 hours @ 90-92% SOC. I'd like to see...

I'm with the OP. I drove the car in Eco for the first 4,000 miles on the odometer - with the intention of squeaking out every bit of energy savings - until one day I put it in regular drive. A much more enjoyable driving experience in my opinion. If I lived in an area with lots of hills I...

My '13 steering wheel heater does the same thing. Turns on right away, gets nice 'n toasty, but gets cold after a few minutes - never seems to reactivate either. Bummer. The seat heater seems to be okay...

Mostly because I'd rather spend $80.00 - with free shipping - for all 4 mats than $110 + shipping for just the front 2. I'm just looking to keep the winter gunk off without having to deep clean the interior before lease end in a few years...

I ordered the 2012 mats for my '13 LEAF based on some of the posts here. They fit as expected due to the battery heater hump, but the holes on the front driver-side mat do not line up with the mat retention "barbs" on the floor...
