I got this issue five weeks ago, and the car has been at the dealership ever since. Now they are replacing the entire battery pack, which works great for me. I own a 2018 SV with close to 70k miles on it.

I had a Curt hitch on my '15, and I could not find a noticable difference. My bike trail was only 20+ miles away in suburbia, so I was not doing any highway driving. The only reason I didn't uninstall it for my '18 was because I had no time or the tools in the dealership parking lot. No doubt I...

I installed a tow hitch on my '15 Leaf and it worked well. Regrettably, I did an impulse buy for the '18 SV, and had to wave bye-bye to my hitch. Nevertheless, I am 99% sure that the same hitch will fit the new Leaf. Why? U-haul has the same part number for both models. I did the install...

This is why I seldom visit or comment on here these days, while I am thoroughly enjoying my 2018 SV. IMHO, the more some people pay for a car is the less they will bitch and moan about its shortcomings. Tela has many expensive out of warranty problems, including but not limited to, drive units...

I caved and did an impulse buy while stopping for a free charge on this past Saturday. Yeah, I got a blue SV. Anyway, the weathertech driver's side mat fit very well, but the passenger side is a little bit off. Not enough for me to hand it over to the dealer or put it on eBay though. I also...

IMHO, I'm just north of you, and I lost my first bar at 43k+. You may agree that the bars drop based on time and not miles driven. I'm not trying to change your narrative from miles driven to years in service, but it is something that should be considered for some Leafs that are not baking in...

My '15 SV lost it's first bar this morning at 43,250. I plan to charge to 100% on Tuesday morning, so I will update the stats on the other thread. The GOM showed 93 miles, but I will be shifting from City driving to highways when I relocate to Miami in two weeks. The new office is 37 miles from...

It is surprising that this whole thing fell off the rails already, on a car that shares parts with the previous model. My local dealer claimed to be the #1 seller in the USA, but he got two S models during last week.

No thanks for your summary, troll.

This is a Japanese blog that I stumbled across through a YouTuber. https://ev-owners.jp/blog/blog.cgi?id=6352 I will have to wait until some American usage statistics come out before I can even think of getting rid of my '15 SV and leasing a new one. I own mine, and at 42k miles I still have...

At this rate the information on the fabled 2019 will have traction before the 2018 is widely available. Maybe they have only a limited interest in selling the 2018 model. But if that is the case, why go through all this expense?

I have a 15 SV in the Atlanta suburbs, and I charge it to 100% at least 6 times a week every morning. My SOH is 87+ and I have 41,200 miles on it. If you start stressing about the battery this early you may miss the joys of driving it.

My 2 cents. I have a '15 SV, and I had the TCU replaced some time ago. I would be pissed if I had to pay, because it works for 3 weeks out of every month... on average. Nevertheless, it is not a huge inconvenience for me, because I have the timers all set. There are times I will like to preheat...

I seriously doubt the current version of i3 cars, BEV or REX, will last that long.

I sincerely doubt your estimation of "a lot". Not all Leafs were sold in Phoenix or places like that, but when you are the one being inconvenienced, it would seem that the whole world is caving in. I'm over 41,000 miles in the Atlanta suburbs, and I am getting 86 miles in this frozen weather...

I believe the car regulates the current coming in, so it may not be a problem. The up side is the battery is warmed up for the drive.

With all that has been happening I have been wavering on upgrading now or upgrading later. That in itself is a silly notion, because there is always something better coming up. My current 15SV suits my needs, even at 41k miles and a GOM of 91 miles. I drive 26 miles to work in Atlanta, but I'll...

If you look at the BMW i3 Facebook page you will also see an overwhelming majority of owners that see no problems with tire punctures, drive bolts, CEL on REX, and the car suddenly running out of juice when the charge is low. And this is my list off the top of my head. One thing they all have in...
