Sacramento Area Leafs Meeting [Thread Retired]

[bobda]

I'd love to come, but it's ravioli making day. My wife's family is Italian and we make homemade ravioli for Thanksgiving. Hopefully, I can make the next one! Sounds like a great time.

Sorry folks, I'm afraid I'm going to be MIA on this one - have fun!

 

[detlefo]

I was holding out for a schedule change, but no luck. I will not be able to attend. Hopefully in Dec. I'd like to see these gatherings continue

 

[JeremyW]

We've got a reservation tomorrow for 15 just in case.

See everyone tomorrow!

 

[JeremyW]

Folks, it's a bit rainy this morning- I'll be there at 10, but most will probably want to just have lunch at 11.

 

[vin944]

I'm planning on stopping by with a BIG umbrella.

 

[LEAFer]

Yeah ... BIG umbrella and extra ones if you have them But I think we might luck out according to the weather radar ... if anything it wil be light ( <fingers crossed behind my back> :lol: )

 

[Harv]

Sorry folks. I wpn't be able to make it today due to sickness. Hopefully I can attend the meeting on 12/1/12.

 

[jmillington]

Must be something going around in Granite Bay - I'm not feeling well this morning either.
So I am out for this morning.

 

[LEAFer]

A VERY wet and small meet-up, but the social gathering and lively technical exchanges trumped the weather. Thanks, everyone.

Not everyone could stay for lunch, but I think I counted 7 LEAFs and a Roadster. A Model S owner from Los Altos appeared and used the Supercharger while we were gathering.

The best of speedy recoveries to local members "under the weather"

Looking ahead now to WestSac Dec 1 meet !

One of the attendees showed me the GreenCharge App on her iPhone yesterday ... I was impressed by the speed of the update (compared to what I've experienced with Android Nissan App). She indicated it's also a lot faster than the iPhone Nissan version ... FWIW.

And I am in process of already planning our next meetup. There's talk of trying the downtown 10th & I facility with 14+ charging stations In preparation for this ... HEADS-UP TO ALL SACRAMENTO AREA LEAFers: You can apply for a FREE RFID parking pass for Sacramento City Garages. NOW would be a good time to apply ... you might get it in time for our next meetup (Actually, I don't think the free RFID pass is limited to just Sac Area EV owners. But if you use it really infrequently it may not be worth it and/or "steal" from someone local ... I don't know if they have a limit.) The RFID pass works in a number of locations, but not every garage downtown ... it must be City owned and not limited to Gov't workers or County owned. Still I have found it useful in the past several years.

Are you looking at December 1st for the next one? We're doing a seat heater retrofit on a 2011 LEAF that day (club activity)

Definitely want to get up there for one of the meetings...hopefully with the LEAF.

No ... Dec 1 is at Nissan (California Fuel Cell Partnership) with their Engineers & DCFC. See the OP in this thread.

We do not yet have a date for our regular LEAF meetup.

 

[JeremyW]

Great meetup on Saturday. Saw some familiar and not so familiar faces.

No date set for the next meeting (besides the Dec 1st one), but I'm open to suggestions.

I also didn't get to mention to everyone, but tbleakne from down south has graciously donated at GID meter to the group. It will be shipped sometime after Thanksgiving.

 

[cleanauto]

It was a lot of fun on Saturday with lots of great discussions. Thanks to all, and I look forward to December 1st.

Anyone else interested in a seat heater install event in our area? I know that these cooler days would make that a nice addition to the Leaf. Do we have any local experts?

Happy Thanksgiving!

Tim

Check out the seat heater retrofit wiki:

which is a collaboration of several of our members. There's also a thread here on the Forum started by Electric4Me.

Are we supposed to respond/sign-up for the Dec 1st meeting at the Fuel Cell Partnership?
