I don't know what you can accomplish with old used cells. My 7 year-old battery has 63% of its original capacity now. The cells are all within 30 mV of each other. That kind of represents the best you can do with used cells. This notion of "replacing the bad cells" never seemed to amount to...

This almost never works with dense, highly optimized (for production and cost) electronics. The signal you seek is probably multiplexed with all the other segments. The IC controlling it is not in a package, but under an epoxy blob. The driver transistor die for the display segment might be...

Thanks for the explanation, Greg, and by the way, thanks for making the DD--simple, and to the point. You didn't quite say, but I think the actual change you've made is to put it in driving mode all the time? So after the change, the update rate is always fast? I know that clicking sound...

No wild speculation would be complete without mentioning that there were various ingenious mods to disable the heater on early LEAFs (given that the logic was a little stoopid when it came to running the heater any time the fan was on). Since the car was previously owned, ya never know. If the...

If you get your hands on it, perhaps I can come by and apply it to mine. I'm actually more interested in the process than having any particular need for the update. :geek:

Never really paid attention to that number, until now. I've been looking at it since you asked the question. Apparently, it is the current into or out of the battery. Look at the number right above--it's the battery voltage. Multiply these two together and you will have the power (in Watts)...

This has never been tried before, so you'd best not talk about it. Imagine if the carmakers found out. Actually, my LEAF already has this feature. It's called the brakes. It activates every time I push that pedal.

I have a record that shows this car being orphaned....the original owner cancelled the order, so the car went to the dealer and was probably snapped up shortly thereafter (but I have no way of knowing). That happened on 4/5/2011. If my info is correct, your car is white. Also, I replaced my...

I received an update for the Android version today, including the extensive list quoted above. And I'm able to login and talk to the car again.

I have never camped out in front of a store before. Yet, there I was, Wednesday evening (wife's idea, same as the LEAF was). For our efforts we finished our reservation at 10:12, right behind Tony Williams. San Diego UTC was one of those extreme events, with 50 overnighters, 100 people at...

Is that because you don't believe they are useful, or you have some other favorite measurement, or is it that your driving doesn't require you to care?

I got my first ground fault screen two days ago. It was just after plugging in, and it started beeping (a nice way to describe the screech it makes) continuously, with the touch screen unresponsive. After pulling the power and plugging it back in, it booted up and worked normally. I'm glad it...

I wondered about this, too, but my 2011 has a button that lets me turn it off so I can compare. Something that might work is to come to a full stop, wait until everything is quiet, and then let it creep forward a few inches, and stop it again. This works best in a garage where it is quiet...

I'm not about to go reading fine print, but inasmuch as they want to take as much advantage of us as possible, it seems like they'd write something into the warranty that says, "according to the odometer reading, not how far the car has traveled".

I've set some kind of record. Failing before anyone else has managed to. I can't log into the Owner's Portal. Here's a paste from the Nissan email: The italics are theirs, by the way. We'll get to that shortly. This is the result of trying to log in: The amusing part here is, (1) "You did...

91040, your link to the thread was incomplete. Supplementing what 91040 said, pressing the button when plugged into the leaf causes the charge current to drop to zero, but doesn't cause any disconnects (thunking sounds).

Since your LEAF is new, we will assume the battery is operating at full capacity. After accounting for the high and low limits imposed by the charge controller, the usable part of the 24 kWh battery is around 21 kWh. If you've used half of that (48%), then you'd expect to need about 10.5 kWh...

It's not. The battery is in a sealed container that's (slightly) pressurized.

As for Model 3 sales and pricing, remember that Tesla's Secret Master Plan, from day one, has been to produce proof of concept vehicles and make as much money as possible while doing so, with the end goal of being able to make an affordable EV whose numbers will change the way we think about...
