I spoke with a mechanic at the Concord, CA Nissan and he gave me an $8K quote for the replacement on my 2011 Leaf. But what was really telling is that he said there had been ZERO replacements done in that shop. Meaning, in the history of the Leaf being on their floor -- this is a fact even in a...

Yes, I was pleasantly surprised... my order for the 3 is in: Standard-Plus range, blue, opted out of the Autopilot (is it really a benefit to sit and watch the road with your hands hovering over the steering wheel? Not for $3K additional, anyway.) I'll wait until I can call my car to come to me...

I know, today was the day! Once I got to the design-your-car page and added all the "Standard Plus" extras ($2,000 more for 20 miles of range, $1,500 for paint, $3K for Autopilot, then add taxes and fees) it barely makes the $45K mark. Now I am in quandary... the other cars on the list all offer...

If an administrator would be so kind, perhaps we could get a poll posted that asks this of the forum: If you had to purchase a new BEV right now, which one would it be: Nissan's Leaf Plus Kia's Niro EV Hyundai's Kona EV Tesla 3 Other I am a 2011 owner of a Leaf at 60 percent capacity (in the...

Is there anyone out there with information on exactly when Tesla hit its 200,000th car? As a Model 3 res holder from Day 1 (in person), I am still waiting for the standard version... and waiting, and waiting. It’s now clear to me that this waiting is going to cost me a lot of money on federal...

Joe6pack, can you tell us whether your source is "on the inside" and knows something beyond what they're telling dealerships? I ask after calling my local dealership, and then the Nissan Leaf customer service number. Zero helpful information was given on both calls... can't say I was that...

So.... I'm a little puzzled that it's July and Nissan is not putting out any real information about when the e-Plus will be released. I know they're not Elon Musk or anything, but can we get a tweet or something? What is the best source for e-Plus release information? Like many people I am going...

Leafers - I'm getting my upgrade next week. Hanlees Hilltop Nissan in California (Bay Area) forced me to undergo an "inspection" before they would even order the part (so not as "in-and-out" as some of the reports here). As if a tech needs to look at a TCU from 2011 to determine it's outdated...

Hello - I don't know if this has been covered elsewhere, but does anyone know how to get a full battery report out of the OBDII Scan (LeafSpy), or is this not possible? Is there any information the dealership tech gets that we don't get on LeafSpy? I am grumpy about having to pay the dealership...

Thanks for all the replies, there are more good options out there than I thought. My two cars will most likely be a Tesla 3 and a Prius Prime (though I'm open to the Leaf 2.0)... I know, it will be eons before I see the Tesla 3, don't remind me. Inphoenix, can you describe the logistics/cost of...

Hello - I'm wondering if anyone has used a dual charging station at their house. That is, a single unit with two standard J-1772 240V plugs for two EVs. I have only seen commercial units from Aerovironment and Schneider (links below), and they are expensive, heavy pedestals, while I'm just...

I wasn't arguing legal terms, guys, of course recalls are a government-mandated safety order (and we have seen many car manufacturers in recent years like Toyota and GM try to avoid them even when inaction costs lives). Voluntary recalls can be done for any reason a car manufacturer wants (and...

Hold on a sec, let me log in to my NissanConnect app... oh, that's right, it doesn't work "as advertised" and hasn't for some time now. Using your own definition, this is a recall. Why make excuses for Nissan? I love the car just as much as anyone else in this Forum, but it doesn't mean we have...

I'm extremely disappointed in Nissan's communication on the telematics front. You have a security glitch, fine. But your solution is to turn it all off and not tell customers anything about what you're doing or when we can expect it back? They took the same approach with the first gen owners...

Hello - I just called my Nissan dealer in Oakland, CA and they acted as though they had never heard of this Telematics upgrade. Typical Nissan, send a letter to notify the customers but don't bother to train or inform the dealers, this is how it was when I bought my Leaf in 2011. When the buyers...

Hello - How much will a 2011 Leaf SL I own now be worth in 2017? It's not a theoretical question, it actually matters a lot in a decision I have to make. Should I sell my poor, tired 2011 Leaf now (under 80% capacity, about 50 miles highway) and lease a 2016 Leaf for two years while I wait for...

Hello - I have a 2011 Nissan Leaf SL and almost never use the trickle charger, but recently needed to use it several days in a row. On the third day the trickle charge started, then stopped very shortly afterward, and it has repeatedly done this time and again. It does not seem to want to start...

Ed - Apparently you missed the obvious context clues (the sales guy is less than half my age and I use the word "claims" for Tesla's numbers) that demonstrated that I do not believe ANYTHING a sales guy says (especially the one from Nissan, who assured me in 2011 that I wouldn't go below a 20%...

Hi Stanton - I am ignoring that fact because in 2017 Teslas aren't going to cost 100K. The Model 3 is supposed to be 35-40K (which is what I paid for my Leaf in 2011), so that's why I'm asking about batteries now. When I am trying to decide between a Model 3 and a Leaf Gen 2 (or a Bolt) 2 years...

Hello -- I just came from a Tesla S test drive, and asked the 19-year-old sales guy some tough questions about Tesla battery degradation over time. I come at this as an owner of a 2011 Leaf with 39K miles, and a 79.4% capacity confirmed by Leaf Spy. So when he told me that Tesla claims a...
