    Gen 2 Leaf... Did You Add Knee Pads?

    I got mine last Friday. I love the car, but by Monday (yesterday) I started getting irritated with my right knee leaning against the center console protrusion. I ended up going to Home Depot last night and getting some black foam padding with adhesive on the back. I put a couple of layers on...

    Can I Track My New Car (that hasn't been delivered yet)?

    I bought a 2019 SV last Saturday from a local Houston TX dealer. Then they told me afterwards that it's in Austin. They have told me each day "It will be here tomorrow". So today it's Thursday and still not here. I have no idea if they've even left Austin yet, or where in the world it is. So...

    Cover for 2019 Shifter Base?

    The base of this thing is a very glossy plastic and I'm sure it will get scratches and other things that make it look "unclean". What's the best way to cover it up and protect it from the inevitable high-visibility damage?

    What was Your SOH on Delivery?

    I'm picking up a new 2019 SV in the next day or two. They have to drive it from Austin to Houston. They waited until we were halfway through the buying process before sharing that tidbit with me. They had already let me test drive another SV but I wanted to get the one they had listed with the...

    Operational Problems with Curt 56227 Hitch Wiring Kit

    I installed a new Curt hitch 11396 last Friday night. That went pretty smooth, on my 2015 S Leaf. I spent part of Saturday morning installing the wiring kit 956227. Got it all from eTrailer. The wiring kit seems to be flaky. I have a new folding trailer from Harbor Freight with LED lights. I...

    Houston Calling: Driving the Leaf or Volt in Deep Water (A Harvey Thing)

    Well technically I live in Friendswood, which is a bit SE of Houston. More or less between Houston and Galveston. We are on the third night of rain and it looks like this will be just as notable as the previous two. Saturday night the water came up in my yard halfway. Last night, not so bad. So...

    Rooftop Kayak Carry and Antenna Location Interference

    I'd like to carry a kayak on the top of my 2015 S. but the antenna is in the way. Are there any workarounds for that, short of cutting a hole in my boat?

    Cold Air, Only While Moving???

    I got my 2015 S last November and it's only now getting warm enough in Houston to actually need the air conditioner. So I was driving home yesterday with an outside temp of 87, with partial sun. After sitting in the parking lot at the local Fry's Electronics store, I noticed that the air coming...

    Preferred Charger Switch?

    I just got a Seimens L2 charger and installed in my garage. Running off of a custom extension cable from a power outlet. I'd like to add in a local switch to power Off the charger when not in use. I've looked at a ton of options, including switches (fused and not) and air conditioner cut-offs...

    Tax Deduction for Purchase of Used Leaf?

    Yeah, I realize that I don't get the big tax thing for buying a new one, but I was thinking about the deduction I've seen the last few years for purchasing high efficiency appliances and similar things. Is there any way the purchase price for a used EV is tax deductible?

    Snubbing Hybrids

    Is this wrong? I have a 1996 Dodge Ram 1500 4x4 with a 390ci engine. It's a big truck. Regular cab and short bed so it's not HUGE, but still big. I bought it new on the day that the original O.J. Simpson verdict was announced. Yes. 21 years ago. In the last 10 years I have averaged about 100...

    Finally Bit the Bullet, So to Speak

    I was tracking prices on traderonline.com and a bunch of new ones hit that day. There were about 3-5 that fell in the following range: Leaf S <500 miles (one less that 100) $12,000 2015 model year In service date: 2/16 Certified Pre-owned Mossy Nissan, Houston That’s about 42 miles from my...

    Latest News on Real World Range???

    Any reports on this yet? The reason I ask is because I have a Vectrix electric motorcycle that was rated at 60 miles/charge. But it really gets closer to 30 under normal "driving around town" conditions. If the Leaf gets close to 100 in real world conditions, I'll be happy with that. But if...

    No Test Drives Till Christmas

    Well, the end of December anyway, but "christmas" just had a more meaningful sound to it. I'm in the Southeast Houston area and signed up with one of the dealers. They were originally supposed to get a demo car in October. I just talked to the the sales person and it's now moved to end of...
