We're basically in the same EV. What's so shocking about your stats and mine is that they strongly suggest that not a single owner with less than 60k miles at 5 years will have the 80% capacity that Nissan cited as a reasonable expectation in the disclosures we signed. Only those who stay out...

The fact that cars in the PNW and the Bay Area might come "somewhat close" to losing 4 bars in five years demonstrates how completely bogus the soothing "80% capacity after five years" was. It appears that virtually nobody in North America is going to have 80% capacity after five years. The...

The new settlement notice with an opt-in form came in the mail today. The deadline for submitting the form by mail or online is April 30, 2015. If you don't want to opt back in, you don't have to do anything. The terms of the settlement are exactly the same we were told about at the beginning...

You're in luck. The California Legislature passed the Solar Rights Act in 1978. See: http://www.gosolarcalifornia.ca.gov/solar_basics/rights.php

Because you have a PV system, you will probably be better off with E-6 or E-1. The E-9 rate is going to end in a few months, so you won't have that option even if you want it. Everybody's situation is different. In my case, I only exceed the baseline from November through February, when there...

If you have an 2011 or 2012 model, you're in. If you have to ask, you're probably not, because you should have received notice at the time of the original proposed settlement.

No, I can't provide a link to the "actual terms" because they don't yet exist. I quoted the relevant portions from the motion to lift the stay. ["As contemplated by the Amended Term Sheet, the parties are working on a formal Amendment to the Settlement Agreement. ...Once the stay is lifted...

The plaintiffs, Nissan, and the objectors -- including Judge Kozinski -- have reached an agreement to amend the original settlement agreement. The agreement still needs to be reduced to writing and submitted to the judge for approval. This should be a mere formality. According to yesterday's...

I lost my first bar on December 24, 2014, after 43 months of driving. ODO=23,390. SOH=84%. Ahr=55.314. QC=16. I have only rarely charged to 100%. My LEAF has lived in Oakland the entire time.

I lost my first bar on December 24, 2014. I have had my LEAF for 43 months. ODO=23,390. AHr=55.314. SOH=84%. 232 gids at full charge. Bay Area climate. Only 16QC. I have charged to 80% almost exclusively.

It works just fine for me. I tested it yesterday with two new addresses. Obviously, YMMV and does. I can't explain why we're getting different results. What you're describing is my experience with the new GM.

Just go back to classic maps and it will work just fine.

Mediation is a completely voluntary and strictly confidential process. Even the judge doesn't know the content of the communications, offers, and responses of the parties. If there is no agreement on a revised settlement between the parties, the case will return to the judge for a decision on...

I'm in a similar situation, but I don't have a good answer either. I don't know whether E-6 will continue to be tiered after this year. Tiers are good if you have solar. Although the E-9 rate is supposed to terminate at the end of the year, PG&E has failed to provide me with any notice that I...

Here is the very brief brief that Kozinski filed about Nissan's legal authority to selectively withdraw a previously issued unconditional warranty extension: https://www.dropbox.com/s/41hs9sen72aop8y/Kozinski%20Supplemental.pdf As others have noted, Nissan, as a matter of global policy...

You're probably right about that. I can't find the exact number now, or where I saw it, but I do remember it was in double digits. And you can't be sure that everyone who claimed to have opted out in the poll actually did.

I can assure you that he knows what Nissan is doing. And, while mediation is a common settlement technique in ordinary litigation, I have never heard of mediation being used in the context of a class action settlement fairness hearing. I'm sure that Kozinski doesn't want to be even partly...

The other thread on this subject goes into Chief Judge Kozinski's place in the legal world. Neither Capstone nor Nissan could have expected to get an objection from such an unlikely source. I believe that the total number who opted out was in the range of 50-60. A significant percentage of...

What the Capstone "representative" told you may be "interesting," but it's also total B.S. Andy Palmer was discussing extending the battery warranty with the advisory group in the fall of 2012. It was announced in December 2012 without any reference to the Klee suit. Palmer was asked in...

If the settlement is approved, there won't be any class, because the right to litigate over battery capacity issues will have been extinguished for everyone except the small number of us who opted out, all of whom are readily identifiable. You'll essentially be on your own and probably won't be...
