Is there really no REFUEL 2014 thread yet even though the event is only 2 weeks away? It's time to remedy that! :lol: http://www.refuelraces.com/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; For those who want to go and haven't yet signed up, if you're a first time racer you can get $30...

I know this is primarily a LEAF forum (but we like all EVs don't we?). Tesla needs your help! http://www.teslamotors.com/forum/forums/help-overturn-franchise-laws-success-future" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; http://www.teslamotors.com/forum/forums/elon-takes-texastweets-help"...

Fascinating... Maybe now we can all get the solar car roof we've all been wanting! I wonder how long until this technique is commercialized? It doesn't sound like there's any real barrier to it.

I had a run-in with my garage door and smashed the plastic outer casing on the High Mount Stop Lamp that lives in the center of the tail fin. I've found the entire assembly online for $150, but all I really need is the outer plastic. Does anyone know of a place where I could get that? Or...

I've been remarking for a while how it surprises me that eco cars like the LEAF don't come standard with adaptive cruise control - it would GREATLY facilitate drafting off trucks or other vehicles for improved efficiency. Recently I've really started wondering about the feasibility of...

I have two original LEAF tires (Bridgestone Ecopia EP422) with 6/32" tread remaining and 20k miles on them. Original tread starts at 10/32" and typical replacement is at 2/32". Therefore (6 - 2) / (10 - 2) = 50% tread life remaining. I'm asking $40 each OBO plus buyer pays actual shipping...

This is a very interesting concept. Particularly if one could swap it yourself at home... http://www.greencarreports.com/news/1074543_romanian-design-team-proposes-car-with-detachable-engine" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

To all those who say the LEAF has thin paint, I say NAY! On account of my parking too close to my garage door and not realizing it and my then proceeding to open said garage door, I put a nice dent in the garage door and scraped the hell out of the nose of my precious LEAF... :oops...

Now we're talking. Not only could this provide an effective range extender (while maintaining some semblance of environmentalism), it may displace ICEs as the primary way to consume gas - if it truly doubles the effiency as they claim. All of which would hasten the conversion of the market to...

Everyone (who uses an iOS device) rejoice! iOS 5 added an API for app developers to publish "now playing" info for third party music apps. Pandora just released an update that adds this feature. Doing so has the very nice effect of allowing the Pandora "now playing" info to show up on the...

Slashdot has run a blurb about "Hacking the Nissan LEAF" which makes mention of our fellow MNL denizens garygid & Ingineer (by their real names, of course). The original article that triggered the write up has already been covered here, but it's always been a dream of mine to make the Slashdot...

There have been a couple of threads discussing adding Daytime Running Lights (DRL) to the LEAF. Some people have done it, but I haven't seen any clear documentation on how. So here's how you do it. Total cost was about $35. STEP 1: Get some 12V LED DRLs of your choice. I used the DTL-CW8HF...

I was visiting my dealer's website today to look for some parts and I noticed they're listing a selection of LEAFs as in stock. I thought some of you might be interested, so here you go...

Lately I've been noticing that I seem to have great difficulty parking straight in my LEAF. It seems no matter how hard I try, I'm always crooked in my spot - sometimes grossly so. I've had my LEAF for 7 months now, so it's not an "adjustment period", and I don't recall having this problem in...

:!: My dealer just asked me for some details on the range I get and told me that all the reports of low range on "the forums" was scaring away some prospective buyers. Here's the advice I urged him to give to would be LEAF drivers. These are the hard lessons I learned over 7 months of...
