    Upgrading head unit in 2019 base model S

    I’d like to update the head unit in my base model S to a touch screen CarPlay unit like the Boss unit linked below. Crutchfield warns that switching out the head unit in the leaf should involve switching out speakers or adding an amplifier to avoid damage to the unit due to the low impedance...

    2019 Leaf S replace head unit for touchscreen/CarPlay

    We are halfway through the lease on our 2019 Leaf S (no touchscreen). For several reasons there’s a strong chance we may want to purchase the car at end of lease (only have 6000 miles on it so far, scraped bumper and panel DIY touched up that will need proper painting vs excess wear charges...

    Subleasing or other suggestions

    We leased a Leaf S with weather package in November 2019, and have driven it less than 2000 miles. Now with the pandemic my husband (The car is his) works from home FT indefinitely and it literally sits in our garage and we drive it occasionally just to keep it functional. We don’t need the car...

    Our family has one car right now a 2016 cmax energi (PI hybrid). We are thinking of getting a second car and it would likely be a leaf - we last owned a 2012 leaf S on 3 year lease and loved that car. Currently we have access to the following rebates used/new: Local air $750/$1000 State...

    Carpool lane stickers :(

    Love/hate: got our carpool lane stickers today (leased Dec 3) so we're happy to have carpool access but so annoyed that we have to slap this UGLY stickers all over our new car. Surely they could have made a simple plate sticker like registration? Is this punishment for the envy of other drivers...

    Is there a simplified voice navigation mode for bluetooth?

    I posted this in tips and tricks but then realized this section is more relevant... One thing I find annoying about the Leaf S is the bluetooth voice command navigation. It repeats everything back to you and reads out the phone # digits rather than recognize "cell", "home" etc. Is there any way...

    Aerovironment free charger/install questions

    Hi all, Just leased a Leaf last week and got on the list for the "free" Aerovironment L2 charger and standard install. We are trickle charging for now, but it would be convenient to have a charger, even if just to avoid the packing an unpacking of the charger. I expect to hear from them this...

    Discrepancy in cost of charge comparisons

    I noticed that our window sticker for 2013 Leaf S says the estimated "fuel" cost is $550/year. However when I used some online calculators to estimate cost of electric for charging some predicted up to $200/month! That can't be right, as we spent $250/month on gas. I know utility rates vary, we...

    Good source for accessories besides dealer (eg cargo cover)

    Has anyone found a cargo cover online for less than $100? It is a flimsy piece of plastic I can't believe they charge $130 for these things.

    Thinking of Leaf - best package, recommendations, lease?

    DH and I live in CA, we currently share one car (gas, good MPG). We drive it a total of about 16k/year together. We used to carpool in the same direction but I changed employers and now go in the opposite direction. Since I commute on the highway about 40 miles RT, I would love to be able to use...
