We will have that kind of temp sometime in Oct.DaveinOlyWA said:RegGuheert said:So, really, ONLY Seattle is comfortable right now!
its 68º in Oly and the Sun has been out for nearly an hour! still wearing shorts but with a hooded sweatshirt
**edit** oh well, maybe it aint quite that warm. the front thermometer is 68 but the back one (more reliable since its almost never has sun on it) is only 62...
You can count us as waiting for the 2013. The 6.6 is so much faster that it's worth waiting for. Hopefully they make other changes too, but the 6.6 is reason enough to not buy a 2012 Leaf - at least for us.evmike said:I wonder how many people are waiting for the 2013 LEAF since there are significant improvements that are well known?
Can you provide source where all significant improvements to 2013 Leaf are listed?evmike said:I wonder how many people are waiting for the 2013 LEAF since there are significant improvements that are well known?
I don't believe there is an actual list, it's all conjecture and hearsay. At the same time, it would be foolish for Nissan to publish a list or confirm the improvements when they're still about 5 months away from the new model and the improvements are so much better (at least the 6.6 IMHO) than the current model they're trying to sell.EdmondLeaf said:Can you provide source where all significant improvements to 2013 Leaf are listed?evmike said:I wonder how many people are waiting for the 2013 LEAF since there are significant improvements that are well known?

69F here north of San Diego, and plenty of Leafs to be seen.RegGuheert said:So, really, ONLY Seattle is comfortable right now!
DaveinOlyWA said:i 2nd that question. Nissan "alluded" to things not specified. other than 6.6 kw charging, there is no other specifics. as far as wanting to wait for 6.6; i understand the point but with DCFCs finally starting to populate the area i am not seeing a huge reason to wait for that.e
Perry says that Nissan is on track to double LEAF sales in 2012 and he expects volume to hit 2,000 units per month in the US by late summer.
DFWmkjayakumar said:I don't think hitting a peak of 90 and 100F during the day and then dipping back to the high 70s shuold be a problem. It is the sustained heat index of staying at an average of 90+ throughout a 24 hour period, day after day - should be a real cause for concern.
AZ, TX and a few areas fit that pattern.
If I lived in a condo/apartment with no way to charge overnight I'd worry about the L3 because you have no other choice. But, we don't, so L3 is far from a necessity for most.gsleaf said:DaveinOlyWA said:i 2nd that question.

They have also announced that the 2013 Leaf will have a heat pump for a heater which should give it better range in colder climates. http://www.plugincars.com/2013-nissan-leaf-heating-system-66-kw-charger-119180.html" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
One thing that stuck out to me from this article:

Sorry! I certainly didn't mean to slight our friends in San Diego! Yes, it looks very nice there, also!gbshaun said:69F here north of San Diego, and plenty of Leafs to be seen.RegGuheert said:So, really, ONLY Seattle is comfortable right now!
Bay Area weatherpersons have it pretty cushy too, at least in summer - "Night and morning fog along the coast, widespread clearing inland by mid-day." Mail that in once a week, and you're usually good from late May to early September.RegGuheert said:Sorry! I certainly didn't mean to slight our friends in San Diego!

I've always felt the easiest job in the world is weatherman (or rather, weather woman) in San Diego!
I don't know why Nissan execs keep saying 2,000/month now and 20K/MY. Without changes this seems to be impossible/implausible.
I realize you're using a bit of hyperbole, but at current rates it looks like they might make 6-7,000 or so for the year. A quick mental tally comes up with 3,148 for the CY so far. Terrible, to be sure.Train said:I don't know why Nissan execs keep saying 2,000/month now and 20K/MY. Without changes this seems to be impossible/implausible.
Because otherwise, they'd have to say "We're extremely disappointed and it looks like our new sales goal this year is 2000 units total by the end of 2012."
