I am in the same boat. My 2019 went offline yesterday. The web says I have a current account but cannot talk to the car. This morning I was unsure if it charged or not, since it did not tell me it finished charging. Right now it is 88 degrees outside and I am about to shuttle four people to a...

Is Mux the name of someone on the forums, or is that the name of a manufacturer?

I appreciate the feedback. If I am at the office for 10 hours, that is some 50 miles of range. This weekend I will be at a small college 80 miles away for much of the day and will need at least some charge in order to make it home. If I had a compact EVSE, I could at least add 30 or so miles...

I understand the sentiment, but how is this different than an electric hedge trimmer, lawn mower, or snow blower? For that matter, how is this different than plugging 120 volts into an RV (which I did last winter for two weeks)?

I often find myself at places where it would be great to have a compact EVSE that I could plug into a wall for several hours. My commute is 104 miles round-trip and during the cold, sometimes it is unclear that the 2019 SL will make the drive home. Ideally, I would have a compact EVSE with all...

The road trip experience does have me rethinking my next vehicle when my lease is up next year. Mach-E? I might consider the Ariya if it is a thing and can handle multiple fast charges.

It is a regular SL. I was getting nervous about having enough charge to make it to the next Electrify America charger. Out of caution, I charged to 94% at each stop. The whole point of this trip was to see what would happen on a longer road trip. Charging a little too long was a price I was...

I had read quite a bit about the back-to-back DC fast-charging problems, but did not experience it until yesterday. I intentionally took a 400-mile road trip from Colorado Springs to Flagler CO, to Colby KS, then back. The first charge in Flagler started at 43 kW, taking about an hour to get to...

I am testing small road-trips for a slow buildup to a longer road trip. On the return home, I ran out of juice. I managed to get five additional miles after the battery showed 0% charge in a 2019 SL. I thought I was going to need to abandon the car before I made it to a charger. While I made it...

I have noticed a substantial drop in range when I get into the car cold (e.g. 20 F) in the morning and start a 52-mile commute in my 2019 SL. It seems to be better if I leave it plugged in while I am getting ready and run the remote cabin heater for an hour or two, then start my commute.

I had the same problem last winter shortly after I bought my 2019 Leaf. These forums suggested silicone spray on the charging port cover. I applied the spray last year and have not had a problem since.

This is at least partially solved. I always started the climate control from a shortcut on the home screen. That does not appear to generate a confirmation. It seems climate control can be started in the menus, which does send a confirmation.

The fan spins in the app then collapses into a check mark, but sometimes does not activate in the car. I am leaving for Cripple Creek in an hour and will need all off the battery available, so I want it to warm up over the next hour while attached to 220 volt EVSE. I started it in the app, but...

That is odd. I have notices configured and am notified when the status is updated, when the cabin temperature is updated, and when charging ends. I do NOT receive notification of failure to start cabin heating, nor can I see cabin heating status in the app.

My last several cars have had remote start (cabin heating in a LEAF) that has made me rather lazy. Here in Colorado Springs, we were hit with quite a bit of snow yesterday, covering my LEAF in the driveway. Since it was still on the charger, I started remote heating via the app to melt the snow...
