I'm in the same camp here and notice it only seems to happen in the cold as well. I wonder if it has anything to do with a weaker 12V battery?

I gotta post so I can subscribe. This is really amazing!

So the model S could be charging at a Chademo charger for 2 or 3 hours and still not be completely full while the Leaf is only wanting a relatively small charge of half an hour.... I see the same situation going to occur with the Frankenplug as it has the added feature of slow charging! If...

We're also working on a car with 250 mile range for under 30K... Our vice president of Global Product Development John Smith won't say when or if such a car will be built, however. Stay tuned!

The dealerships seem to not like the electric car due to not making them money like the gas burners... If upgrades are offered by nissan through dealerships, this would open up a whole new area of potential income... I wouldn't hold my breath though. :)

Man I love your sunroof. My car is also silver so being able to see it with a sunroof.... just need to pull the trigger..

I'd also buy Jetsons sound, I'm not sure if it can be modified or not... Different sounds could be another income stream for Nissan... They have so much potential here to really change the market, I hope they realize it...

I've read this a few times now and it seems that the Brusa charger is acting like a slave to the other charger with no mods. It's just been connected in parallel with the system and it's charging as you would want it too, is that really it??? wow! Very impressive guys!! The Can bus is what...

Sorry about that :) I've updated the Profile, Yes I live up near Seattle... Vancouver Canada. It rains allot... I don't think the rain should affect the plastic though. BUT on closer inspection... I've found that I must have scratched it while washing....

Holly cow! Of course the Capacitance multiplier coupled with the Diode matrix would never be enough to handle the Supply voltage supervisor. LOL Sounds good though, thanks for the input. I'm glad there are people smarter than me :)

I haven't been able to find any info on this. I was speaking with someone the other day about the car only charging at 3.3kw vs the 6.6kw. When I go down a hill (mountain) I can get 20 - 30kw charging from the motor sustained for 10- 15 minutes. If the inverter can handle that, what's stopping...

I was washing my car and noticed I've got the same issue with my headlight as well. I'll have to bring it up with them next time I'm in as I'm sure the lights aren't cheap. It's like they're stress cracks or something.... I'll get a photo of it as they're in pretty much the same spot.

I usually tell people that little battery is what makes it go :) I do let them know later on after gauging their reaction. It really gets the questions going

Make sure all your climate timers are off too. :)

The Frankenplug VS Chademo . If we refer to the two plugs enough this way hopefully they will always be known as Frankenplug and Chademo. :)

This is where it would be nice to find out what it would cost for Nissan to change the charger over to a 6.6kw charger, or an aftermarket option. Maybe it would be cheaper to upgrade the car to the 2013... Maybe not... It's too expensive to upgrade the charger. It's too expensive to upgrade to...

Instead of regular oil change/ services I'd be happy to put extra money into updating/upgrading the car to newer specs. It would be nice if they would provide an upgrade path :)

I took my 2012 in for the brake update and winter tires. They did the tires no problems and said my car was all updated from an earlier time so not to worry. I told them about the brake update and could they check, to be sure to be sure. It took them another hour or so but they came back and...

This is how I thought the update would work... Use more friction or brake pad at the lower speeds. I like regenerative brakes as it's a kind of "game" for me to see how much I can regenerate, but it does get tired when they grab all the time at the low end speeds....I haven't gone in for the...

Mines going in for it's yearlyish checkup.. Really it's going in for the snow tires and then any updates available. It's good to know what can or might happen... thanks.
