    HOW HOT HAS YOUR BATTERY TEMP BARS GONE?

    I park my 2020 SV+ on asphalt in Las Vegas and I've never seen the temp go into the red. In the summer, my garage is about 100F overnight. At that temp, the gauge is about a half inch past the center.

    Going for the JDM look

    Can I get the details on those wheels? I've been looking for matte black wheels like that.

    Wheel darkening

    I put the Dupli-Color removable spray coating on everything shiny- the door handles, wheels, badges, and front trim piece. I love it and would definitely recommend. My last problem is that my matte black wheels look stupid with shiny silver brake calipers behind them, and you can't use that...

    Has anyone fitted wider tires?

    I never drive my 2020 SV+ more than 100 miles per day, so I'm fine with sacrificing a little range to get more rubber on the road. My plan A is to buy 7.5" or 8" wide wheels and put 235 or 245mm wide tires on them. Plan B is to shove 235/45/17 tires onto the stock 6.5" wheels. Has anyone...

    Gen II light weight wheels and tires

    What has your experience been with those the last couple months? I'm planning on getting a set soon. I have a 2020 SV+ and was thinking about replacing the 17x6.5 original wheels with 17x8. If I can find 45 offset wheels, should those drive and steer fine? The sites that sell wheels say so. But...

    Wheel darkening

    They fit perfectly on a US 2020 SV Plus. I would take a picture, but I just took them off. I wanted to try this plasti-dip competitor and I'm really happy with it- https://www.oreillyauto.com/detail/c/custom-wrap/dupli-color-custom-wrap-11-ounce-carbon-black-spray-paint/dplj/cwrc794

    Wheel darkening

    Holy crap, I'm so jealous you found those wheels that cheap. I got these door handle covers and spray painted them to look exactly like your interior pieces- https://www.carid.com/ses-trims/black-door-handle-covers-mpn-dh6307blk.html?singleid=2677473730

    Thank you. That stuff is nice and cheap.

    Wheel darkening

    My plan for my 2020 Leaf is to get rid of all of the shiny silver pieces. I'm almost done with all of the trim pieces and badges, which will leave the last big item- the wheels. I don't love the overall design, but my only real objection is to the shiny silver finish on the flat part. Has anyone...

    any advice on tire replacement?

    I've seen people throw around 10% loss in range when moving away from LRR tires. I'm thinking about getting Bridgestone Turanza QuietTrack, or similarly soft tires. Do you think those would be more than 10%?

    Muffling VSP

    Wow. I already owned Leaf Spy Pro and hadn't looked in the "Service Menu" the couple times I used it. Thanks.

    Did the door handles change between Gen 1 and Gen 2?

    I am looking for black door handle covers for my 2020 and I've found something that looks right, but the site says it will not fit my 2020 just earlier Leaves. What I'm seeing on parts.NissanUSA.com seems to indicate that every Leaf ever made has the same door handles. What's the truth? Thanks.

    Muffling VSP

    Where is the VSP sound coming from and can I shove something in front of it to make it quieter? Thanks.

    USED Prices Going UP on LEAF's (and all used cars)

    The Mazda CX-5 that a I drove in between my old Leaf and my new Leaf has increased in value by about 50% over the past year. I wanted a 2020 Plus SV or SL and there just aren't that many available. SVs without the tech package are going for well over $30k and SLs over $32k. When I saw an SV...

    I accidentally own 2 similar EVSEs

    Thank you for the responses. Amazon has a really nice return system where I can just drop the box off at a neary Whole Foods and get my full $360 credited back. It's still sellable in its sealed box. The Nissan 240V unit charges at maximum speed and people seem to like it, right? I don't care...
