I didn't make it. 66 miles to turtle, but I don't know what my real mpk was. Major crosswind. I hit LBW as I entered Red Rock Canyon and VLBW just before I got to the top of the hill exiting the canyon. Turtle just after the top of the hill. The last eight miles of range melted away in about three miles. To be fair, conditions were bad in the canyon. Moderate rain, and I hit a headwind. I actually saw the power meter hit seven bubbles once during a gust, versus three or four while climbing normally. No heat, of course; I had a blanket over my legs.
So, when I hit turtle at the top of the hill, I pulled over ASAP. Monika picked me up and we drove the remaining 20 miles home to pick up my truck and flatbed. When we got back to the LEAF, I started it and drove it two miles to where I'd parked the truck and trailer in a good spot for loading. As usual, the LEAF wasn't in turtle when I started it, and I was able to run 47 mph for most of the two (slightly downhill) miles to my truck. It was just starting to lose speed as I got to the truck. It had enough power left to turn on and off, and shift out of park into neutral. I see a power steering and 12V battery alarm on the display now. Those probably occurred while I was wrestling with the steering and winching the car onto my trailer. The PS alarm I can understand; the battery, not so much.
Not enough power left to drive on the trailer, so I winched it up. I collect antique tractors, so I am equipped to load dead vehicles:
And here it is parked under my sun shade, charging enough so I can get it off the trailer:
I probably won't try to drive to the Nissan dealer again.
I haven't checked the version of firmware installed in my car yet, so I don't know if they updated it. They did run a cell pair Voltage check, but unfortunately they waited until the car was 75% charged before they did it. And they failed to run the required battery use report. I'm covered, I think, since the work order clearly indicates that I asked them to do it. On the cell Voltages, the lowest was 4076 mV; the highest was 4116 mV. Battery Voltage was 394.3. What a shame; a check when the battery was discharged might have given them and us useful data.
My summary? I made some mistakes, and so did the dealer, so I still don't know how my battery is doing.
