Yes, stock OEM 12V batteries fail early in the heat. That is why I replace them with high-quality AGM batteries as soon as they get weak. I have experience with flooded cell batteries (both OEM and replacements before AGM was readily available) failing after 6 months to 18 months even with frequent...

Mine from my 2019 Leaf just died too. But I don't have my Leaf anymore. I wonder if it's repairable?

Not in play yet

According to the IRS, it's in play already:

If I had to make a decision today I would pass on the Ariya and buy another Model Y with MSRP below $55k so I could get the tax credit which would make the cost $47,500. Nissan needs to price the Ariya low $40's to compete. It looks like they classified the 5 seat MY an SUV now so the limit is now ...

Thanks Sagebrush, so as I took delivery in early November and everything about my vehicle was Japan, it sounds like I'm SOL When did you sign a contract ? I ordered more than 2 years prior but the signing of the actual contract wasn't done until we picked it up in November and wrote the check less ...

Yes it sucked we missed out on the $7500 Why did that happen ? When Biden signed the IRA on 8/16, it made all plug ins not built in North America ineligible for the tax credit. A lot of cars are ineligible now: Kia, Hyundai, Toyota, VW built overseas, Ariya, etc. Starting next year, the tax credit ...

Don't know about a new Leaf but my recently delivered RAV4 prime included over a thousand dollars of manufacture-installed options I didn't ask for nor want. Things like sill plate guards, hatch guards, nice weather-tech like floor mats, etc. As they were manufacture-installed they were on the Monr...

So I'm left not knowing what I can do - there just isn't anything except a Bolt (she is a hard NO on bolt) to buy within my price range, that my wife will agree with. She BARELY agreed on the ID4. I still love the Ioniq 5, but dealers around me are STILL marking them well above MSRP, and no tax cre...
