    Leaf home charging

    My 2018 Leaf with the 150mi range isn't driven much, and I've always charged it at 120v. But we are building a house and would like one outlet to charge both the Tesla and the Leaf, at different times. The 240 outlet I use now is 60A. Can the Leaf take that much? Would it just regulate it, like...

    auto pilot reliability

    I've had a 2018 Leaf for ~a year. The auto pilot is terrible! On maybe 10% of the bends in the road, going the speed limit or 5 or 10+ - it doesn't make the turn. I have to take control. Is this normal? And it is so cumbersome to engage. With the Tesla, we understood it on the test drive. My...

    charging

    This is likely a dumb question, but with my Tesla M3, I got an adapter that fit's the 2018 Leaf's charger. Can I use this with my Tesla charger? (220v, 60a rating). The car isn't driven much, but the charging is so slow, with L1.

    pro drive

    We have a 2015 Leaf, and are looking at a new one, for the pro drive. Yes, we're getting older... We're also looking at the Niro, when that comes out. We don't need the bigger battery, but I do want the semi-auto driving. I'm thinking the Kia might have newer technology, but no self-correcting...

    re-sync map screen

    Stupid me - I was scrolling down the music list on the screen, and didn't realize I was also pressing the button for the CD player. Now, the screen stays raised ~3/8". Unless you shut the car off. Then it parks like it should. Anyone know how to resync it? I would think it jumped a few teeth on...

    A few more questions -

    Do you carry your 110v charger cable with you? There doesn't seem much point. They aren't of much use, except at home, at night. I assume the tire gauge just a warning, with no individual gauge, showing pressure, for each wheel? It sounds like like you still need to carry a tire gauge. This is...

    backup lights

    I have a steep, darkish driveway, and really can't see much backing out. I'm going to mount a pair of COB LED bars, under the bumper, angled out a little. That should help the camera see better. Maybe line the drive with white pavers? Has anyone done this? Do you remember which wire? (I can find...

    Road Trip!

    Quick questions... I think we found our Leaf. 2015 SL with premium pkg and pearl paint. 12k miles, $18k. (blah blah gab below). 'Corporate lease', which the dealer claims is just a Nissan lease, with one driver? The adventure? We are in Atlanta, and the car is in Gadsden Al. A 140mi trek. We...

    Odd rumor?

    Weird. I've got a guy at a Nissan dealership who is looking for a 13-15 SL, with premium pkg, for me. One of the country's top shops. He sent an email yesterday, saying that management told the staff that there would be NO 2016 Leaf! I called him today, to confirm. I find this very hard to...

    360 camera DIY?

    The backup camera trick was a nice add-on. We are looking for an 2013-15 SL with the 360 cameras. A tough find. (SL's are hard enough to find). Can they be added on, at home, in a PRACTICAL manner? How close does the pre-wiring get you? Would you need a software upgrade? Is the screen just...

    battery longevity

    I realize there are only 4 years of data on these batteries, but what do people suspect they will get, before the battery reserve gets too low? A different beast, but a friend just replaced the battery on her Prius. At 200,000 miles! I understand Nissan warrants the battery for 8/100k, but what...

    more nubie questions

    More disinformation from the salesmen? (mostly honest mistakes. That's a lot of detail to remember, for many cars, and they aren't researching like we are). We were told the tires would only last 20k. ('the OME tires are cheap'). Thoughts? They are cheap, on most cars. Online, it seems most are...

    newbie

    We've looked at 2 dealers so far. Lot's of misinformation out there. We don't expect a sales guy to know everything - we've been researching, and getting a lot of info. But there is much we don't know. We actually sat down and got a quote. (we had already said we were not buying today) 'Not a...

    Value?

    'Why is the price down to 50%, in two years'? My wife asked this question, when I sent her some info on the Leaf. That's a valid question. We're looking for a 2013? I'm sure there are questions about the battery life. And they all seem very low mileage! I need to read these forums more...

    Geogia rebates

    I'm just starting to consider a Leaf. So of course - GA just dropped its $5000 rebate - and changed it to a $200 fee! Is Nissan still offering the $7500 rebate on new? Is it possible to buy it in a friendlier rebate state, and transfer the registration? I can live with the $200 yearly tax. What...
