No. It's been available since 2011 SV and SL. But, one couldn't adjust the preset temp for that until model year 2013.SalemCat said:I thought it needed to be newer.

Android Smart Phone is sufficient.
Windows 10 App is even better.

I was also able to connect it to my google home so I can command via voice as well.
Windows I have not tried please let me know how well these work

Don't pay for anything extra at that Nissan dealer. It sounds like they know nothing about the LEAF.
Since this appears to be a used LEAF you are buying, the next questions are how much are you paying for it, what is the state of the battery, etc.
SalemCat said:QUESTION: Once fully charged, how long will that charge be maintained if the vehicle simply sits in my driveway, not plugged in ?
PrairieLEAF said:I've never seen any drop in battery percentage when parked for about a week and a half at a time.
Compared to techier cars like Teslas, that have all kinds of things going on when they're parked, LEAFs are much quieter sleepers.
I'm kind of stunned how much battery warming Teslas do when parked. A friend sends me his amperage graphs from his Model 3 and I think it uses more to keep the battery warm while not charging than the LEAF uses to actually charge.
I don't think I've ever had the battery warmer activate, even on nights around 0 F. The battery pack has so much thermal capacity, that it would take a pretty good cold-soak for the pack temperature to get low enough, unless you live in a more polar setting.
I am completely hooked on the whole EV experience. Even if gasoline were free and electricity doubled in price, I would want to keep driving electric!
Best wishes!

Turning on the climate control rocks. We have chargers at my office as well so I can on the companies electricity heat or cool my car before I leave.
On homes, Denver (I am in Colorado) is trying to make homes go gas free https://denverite.com/2021/01/26/denver-aims-to-ban-natural-gas-from-the-menu-of-energy-options-for-new-homes-and-buildings/ I built my house in 2018 and I had no option for electric heating. It is possible that movement may possibly gain traction but it will take a while to spread.
